Ship Bottom Real Estate and the LBI Real Estate Market

Ship Bottom Real Estate

Ship Bottom Real Estate Sales in the Second Quarter of 2014 showed an increase in both the number of homes sold and the average sales price of a single family home. While the average sales price was still much lower than the rest of the LBI real estate market, it was about 25% higher than in the first quarter of 2013. The average price was driven lower by the presence of storm damaged homes, however there are fewer of these properties on the market now. With completed homes now entering the market, we will continue to see the average price being higher.
