The latest April 3, 2025 episode of the DownbeachBuzz podcast reveals a major shift in the Jersey Shore real estate landscape—Margate, Ventnor, and Brigantine are now trending toward a full-fledged buyer’s market.
With over 30% of listings seeing price reductions and properties staying on the market longer, savvy buyers have more negotiating power than ever before. Open houses are increasing, and the market's pace is favoring well-prepared purchasers—especially cash buyers.
Short-term rentals are also flooding the market due to a wave of investor activity from 2021. As a result, oversaturation is prompting many landlords to transition to long-term leases, changing the dynamics of these beachside communities.
According to Sherri Lilienfeld of EXP Realty, this is the ideal time to work with a buyer’s agent—to not only navigate price cuts and competition, but to represent your best interest in a shifting market.
