Surprising Trend on Long Beach Island – Luxury Homes Are Selling Faster Than Expected
At a time when many coastal markets across the U.S. are cooling, Long Beach Island’s luxury market is bucking the trend. September 2025 data shows high-end homes are selling faster than they did last year, despite a 24% drop in available listings. Buyers continue to compete for prime properties, and builders like Ziman Development are responding with high-end, move-in-ready coastal homes designed for modern living.
According to the latest figures, 42 homes sold in September totaling $96.4 million, with an average sale price of $2.3 million and median price of $1.9 million. The average days on market dropped to 60, while active inventory fell to 136 listings, down from 171 a year earlier. The market’s months supply (MSI) now stands at 7.2, signaling a tightening luxury segment.
Even amid rising borrowing costs, discerning buyers are undeterred. They remain focused on lifestyle, location, and quality – particularly in premium communities like Barnegat Light, Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars, Long Beach Township, Ship Bottom, and Surf City. The combination of limited supply and strong demand continues to sustain price stability and strengthen long-term investment potential.
Ziman Development is uniquely positioned to meet this moment. With deep expertise in coastal construction, the firm delivers custom-built homes that reflect both luxury and longevity. From concept to completion, their turn-key approach allows clients to secure their place in a market that shows no signs of slowing down.
