Dock-O-Minimums and the Long Beach Island Real Estate Market

What is a Dock-O-Minimum? Good question!

A dock-o-minimum is essentially condo ownership of a boat slip. There are several marinas that have elected to sell either part or all of their boat slips in this fashion. The advantage to a buyer is in the appreciation of equity and not having to pay rent!

Condominiums in the LBI NJ Real Estate Market

A condominium in the LBI real estate market is similar to a condo except you own the slip and the water rather than an apartment. Generally, a management company will oversee the upkeep of the dock, bulkhead and any amenities (such as a pool or club house) that may be part of the association. There is usually a monthly or quarter maintenance fee as there would be with any condo association and these funds go towards the upkeep of the property and usually some or all of the insurance bills.

A unit owner is usually responsible for their individual property taxes on the slip as well as their usage costs of utilities such as electric (although in many cases water is included).

Like any investment in the LBI real estate market, the value of a condominium is subject to highs and lows in the market. This form of ownership grew in popularity as the real estate market grew in value nationwide during the early 2000's and has since cooled somewhat. Since there are other affordable waterfront options that include more amenities, the demand for dock-o-minimums has waned some but it is important to keep in mind that there is still a strong demand for this unique form of ownership.
