The Jersey Shore Real Estate market may have felt frozen during the blizzards, ice tundra and flip-flopping temperatures but it is still HOT! Many of the homes and inventory that were anticipated to come during January and February were pushed off until everything thawed out. This played a role in some pent-up buyer demand jumping at the first listings to show up. Buyers are actively securing homes ahead of Memorial Day. The inventory remaining low is still a consistent trend in many of the surrounding shore towns which is affecting a sellers pricing strategy.
New listings to kick off 2026 were down in all towns* except Sea Girt which was up 50%. Avon (-16%), Belmar (-20%), Bradley Beach (-46%), Spring Lake (-38%), & Lake Como (-62%). Bidding wars are heating up and seeing multiple over asking offers on many recent listings this March.
If you braved the winter and feel this may finally be the year to make the move to Florida or somewhere warm, we have trusted real estate professionals internationally who would be happy to assist you every step of the way. If you are interested in learning about a pricing strategy for your home in today’s market, feel free to reach out to me anytime at 732-859-3751 for a no pressure and confidential consultation.
I personally look forward to seeing some spring inventory and warmer weather!
