LBI REAL ESTATE UPDATE
Winter 2024
Market Analysis - Slooow might be one way to describe the LBI real estate market. Number of houses sold is the lowest since 2013 after Sandy’s visit. Inventory remains low with an average of 100 homes on the market on a given day during 2023; compared to the average of around 400 homes in pre-COVID times. This has been pushing the market more towards the seller’s side; however, it should be noted that the last few months showed a decrease in Average Sales Price. Buyers are dealing with higher interest rates, low inventory levels (therefore less choices) and economic concerns. Some buyers are taking a ‘wait and see’ attitude, especially since we are also now in a rather tumultuous Presidential Election Year. The Spring Selling Market just began and LBI will continue to sell homes, just by the virtue that we still have more buyers than inventory. Pricing most likely will remain fairly stable if economic factors stay as they are now. If inventory begins to increase then we may see a bit more pressure on pricing.
