LBI MarkeTrends- Jan- May The LBI market is showing signs of slowing down
Year
# Units Sold
Average Sales Price( ASP)
Avg Days On MKT
% Sale to List Price
2025 130 $ 2,488,299 68 97.5 % 2026 120 $ 2,552,900 58 96.8 % a bit. Some of this is due to being at the end of our Spring Selling Market. Some is due to the uncertainties on the economic and political fronts. Interest rates did not decrease as expected, but actually increased. Units closed are behind; however, a well priced home can still draw multiple buyers and even some bidding wars. Inventory levels are beginning to increase, If this continues, this may bring a more balanced market.
