Meet YOUR REALTOR Monday August 3, 2026
I blinked, and somehow the calendar now says August. I'm still in denial...where did July go?
Saturday was another reminder that the LBI real estate market is still moving. I showed my clients a condo in Beach Haven that had just hit the market earlier in the week. Because it's a rental property, showings were limited to Saturday during turnover. By Sunday afternoon, I received a call that the sellers had multiple offers and were asking for highest and best.
Even with interest rates remaining elevated, well-priced properties on LBI continue to attract serious buyers. It just goes to show that many people still see Long Beach Island real estate as a great lifestyle purchase and a strong long-term investment.
Sunday afternoon was a little less about real estate and a lot more about celebrating. We were invited to a friend's birthday bar crawl that kicked off at The Shell in Beach Haven. I have to admit, it had been quite a while since I'd been there, and I was pleasantly surprised by all the improvements. They added a stage right in the sand for live bands and DJs, creating a fun beach party atmosphere. There was plenty of room to dance, and if dancing isn't your thing, there were lots of tables and lounge chairs where you could relax, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy the music.
Our next stop was The Black Whale, where the air conditioning was a welcome break from the afternoon heat! The staff at both places did a fantastic job taking care of our large group, and everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating.
I didn't make it to the rest of the bar crawl—I had two pups at home waiting for dinner—but judging by the photos, the celebration continued well into the evening. Honestly, what better way to celebrate a birthday than spending the day with good friends at the Jersey Shore?
Wishing you a fantastic week ahead! And if buying, selling, or investing in Long Beach Island real estate is on your mind, I'd love to help you make your next move. Feel free to reach out anytime!
