Long Beach Island • Real Estate Market Snapshot
This Week on LBI
What’s Going On On The Island
Most of the holiday events on the island are now behind us, with the calendar heavily frontloaded this year and not much left as we head into Christmas. One of the final highlights was the Ship Bottom Christmas Parade — the weather held off, turnout was strong, and this year’s rendition was a great one all around.
If you’re looking for something with some Christmas spirit to do this weekend, Elf the Musical at Surflight Theatre is worth checking out if you haven’t seen it yet, with multiple showtimes on both Saturday and Sunday.
From a planning perspective, it’s now time to shift gears to New Year’s Eve. There are some great live music options and New Year’s Eve dinners to attend across the island, and we’ve compiled everything we know of into a single guide here: New Year’s Eve Guide.
What’s Going On In Real Estate
We also have some exciting news to share. As of this morning, we have officially joined a new and exciting brokerage, The Freeman Co. We now have brand-new offices in Harvey Cedars and Beach Haven to better serve our clients across the island. This move provides us with even more resources and flexibility, and continues to position us as an industry-leading team committed to delivering exceptional service to you. We’ll be sharing a full announcement with additional details in the New Year.
From a market standpoint, inventory has picked up slightly since the start of the month. Since December 2nd, we’ve added 7 net listings and currently stand at 92 active properties island-wide.
The past week has been a strong reminder that buyer demand remains very high — especially under $2 million. A great example was 373 2nd End Street in Surf City, which was listed at $1.399M on December 11th. The property received multiple offers over the weekend and went to a best and final on Monday, proving that when the right home hits the market in this range, it moves almost instantly. If you’re shopping in this price bracket, staying active and diligent is critical.
As inventory remains tight, off-market opportunities continue to be an important part of the equation. We are actively tracking coming-soon homes, new construction, and private-sale opportunities across the island — and in many cases, buyers can secure a property before it ever hits the open market. Please reach out if you have any interest.
