Long Beach Township Real Estate Market and the LBI NJ Real Estate Market— 2014 Year in Review
LBI Real Estate
Long Beach Township’s sales activity in 2014 provides a compact baseline for tracking how the LBI real estate market evolved over the next decade. Inventory leaned toward modest beach cottages and smaller footprints, and buyer activity, while steady, had not yet accelerated into the boom years that followed. Pricing patterns show a tight relationship between asking and closing figures, signaling rational negotiations and a market without extreme bidding pressure. As we’ll see in subsequent years, the mid‑2010s set the stage for a sustained run‑up in both average prices and price per square foot across Long Beach Island.

The average sale hovered close to the asking price, and the $/sq ft level reflects smaller homes and lower land pressure compared with later years. The balanced ratio of 0.971 confirms sellers were pricing appropriately relative to demand. This year’s metrics will serve as a useful point of comparison as new construction, rebuilding, and rising buyer competition reshape pricing from 2015 onward.

Overall, 2014 in Long Beach Township reflects a measured, steady LBI real estate market with restrained pricing and modest home sizes. The close alignment of list and sale values indicates a healthy equilibrium between buyers and sellers. While the year doesn’t show fireworks, it establishes the lower base from which LBI began its climb. As we move through the next several years, watch how inventory mix and demand push both average sale prices and $‑per‑sq‑ft substantially higher across Long Beach Island.
