Luxury Sales Drive Market Activity in the LBI Real Estate Market
The most notable trend from today's activity was the strength of the luxury home market. Two oceanfront properties in Long Beach Township accounted for more than $10 million in combined sales volume, underscoring the continued demand for waterfront real estate on Long Beach Island.
One newly constructed oceanfront home sold for $4,725,000 after just one day on the market. The six-bedroom residence reflects growing buyer preference for newer construction with modern floor plans, higher building standards, and premium coastal amenities.
Another oceanfront property closed for $5,775,000, above its asking price, showing that highly desirable waterfront homes continue to attract competition when priced appropriately. Buyers searching for direct ocean access and newer construction remain willing to act quickly when quality inventory becomes available.
These transactions reinforce a trend that has held through much of 2026: luxury Long Beach Island real estate remains in high demand despite limited inventory.
Additional Closings Across the Long Beach Island Real Estate Market
Beyond the luxury market, buyers continued to show interest across a range of price points.
In Harvey Cedars, a four-bedroom home closed for $2,960,000, highlighting the continued appeal of one of the island's most sought-after communities. Harvey Cedars continues to attract buyers seeking a quieter coastal lifestyle while staying close to beaches, boating, and local amenities.
Meanwhile, a home in Ship Bottom sold for $950,000 after a relatively short marketing period. Properties under $1 million remain particularly attractive to vacation-home buyers, investors, and those looking to establish a foothold in the Long Beach Island housing market.
Together, today's closed transactions generated over $14 million in real estate sales volume, signaling continued market health.
New Listings Add Fresh Opportunities For Buyers in the LBI Real Estate Market
Inventory remains one of the biggest challenges facing buyers in the Long Beach Island real estate market. However, several new opportunities entered the market today.
A spacious Harvey Cedars home was newly listed for $2,495,000. Offering more than 2,500 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, and multiple bathrooms, the property provides an appealing option for buyers seeking a well-located home in one of LBI's most desirable communities.
In Beach Haven, a two-bedroom condominium entered the market at $1,060,000. Beach Haven remains one of the island's most popular destinations thanks to its walkable downtown, restaurants, entertainment options, and proximity to the beach. Condominiums in this area often attract buyers seeking lower-maintenance vacation properties and investment opportunities.
New inventory is encouraging for buyers who have faced limited choices for much of the year.
Homes Moving Under Contract in the LBI Real Estate Market
Buyer demand remains strong as evidenced by additional properties moving under contract.
A home in Surf City went active-to-under-contract in about one month. Another property in Long Beach Township also secured a buyer, further supporting the notion that properly priced homes continue to attract attention despite seasonal shifts.
As we move deeper into the fall market, many serious buyers remain active. While summer tourism has slowed, the off-season often attracts motivated buyers who are prepared to move quickly when the right property becomes available.
Market Trends to Watch in the Long Beach Island Real Estate Market
Several important Long Beach Island real estate trends continue to emerge:

Inventory remains limited across many neighborhoods.
Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars, Surf City, Ship Bottom, and Long Beach Township continue to see strong buyer interest.
