Why Summer Might Be the Smartest Time to Buy in Manasquan

by Kyle Pelech

Summer on the Jersey Shore is full swing — and if you’ve been thinking about buying in Manasquan, this might actually be your window.

Yes, there are crowds and vacationers. But what most buyers don’t realize is that summer also brings out motivated sellers. Many homeowners list during peak season hoping to close before the school year begins or before heading south in the fall.

Here’s why that matters:

✅ More Inventory Means More Choices
Manasquan is seeing more active listings in the summer than we did in the spring. That opens the door for buyers to be selective.

✅ Motivated Sellers = Negotiation Leverage
Sellers who list in June or July are often more serious — and more open to negotiation — than those testing the market earlier in the year.

✅ Lock in Rates Before Fall
Interest rates fluctuate. Getting under contract during the summer can give you the chance to lock in a better ratebefore the next Fed meeting or rate shift.

A Local Market Snapshot:

In Manasquan, some properties are still selling fast — especially walkable homes close to the beach or train — but others are sitting. This is where a sharp strategy helps.

You don’t need to overpay or rush. You just need to know how to spot value and negotiate with confidence.

That’s where I come in.
