The real estate market along the Jersey Shore is still hot, although less so than the peak of the seller's market of a couple years back. Numerous towns at the Jersey Cape have secured spots among the most vibrant markets in the United States thanks to the prevailing trend in sought-after tourist destinations and the flourishing second-home market.
