Long Beach Island Real Estate and The Dunes Sales Update

The LBI Real Estate Market and Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall at the end of October 2012, the LBI real estate market changed a great deal. The local economy now has to deal with a new set of challenges such as storm damaged homes, flood insurance and the fear of future storms impacting the area. The good news is, there will be a major investment of capital in the Long Beach Island which will help to safeguard the area and increase property values Island wide.

The Dunes 1st Quarter of 2013

The one closed transaction in The Dunes was broken down as follows:

  • 118 E Hollybanks was a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath single family home

  • This home sold for $852,000 and spent 119 days on the market

It is surprising to see that the one home sold was not elevated on pilings, however the location on the Oceanside helped to insure that flood insurance rates would be affordable thanks to the nature ground elevation.
