Average Sale Price & $/SqFt in North Beach Haven
With the average near $1.6M and $/SqFt at $771, 2021 reset the ceiling. Even with fewer trades, pricing power accelerated—classic hallmarks of a supply‑starved LBI real estate market. The $6M high sale underscores how premier ocean‑adjacent properties captured outsized bids.
