Buyers stayed selective, but strong offers persisted for prime homes in sought‑after neighborhoods. Inventory remained tight relative to historical norms, supporting valuations. Across LBI and in the Long Beach Township real estate market, the emphasis remained on quality, efficiency, and outdoor living spaces.

Median price moving to nearly $1.94M reflects broad firmness across the Township, not just headline closings. 2023 solidified LBI’s post‑2021 pricing structure with steady, sustainable appreciation.
