HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wishing you & yours the very best for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2021!
MARKET STATS: Strong purchase demand continued through the fall months, with November 2020 seeing a 30% increase in the number of units sold compared to a year ago. For a detailed look at the market, see the latest Long & Foster Market Minute Report above.
MARKET OUTLOOK: As we head into 2021, a fast start seems likely for the local real estate market. November statistics put new purchase contracts at a record high nationwide, according to the Wall Street Journal (December 31, 2020.) Purchase demand paused briefly for the holidays, while interest rates remain near historic lows, with 30-year mortgage rates available well under 3%. Along with a pent-up desire to travel and vacation near home, both the sale market and vacation rental market appear to be poised for another strong year.
REPURPOSE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE: A limited number of Christmas trees are accepted by the Cape May County Zoo for use in animal habitats. The trees provide windbreaks and shelter from the cold, and even serve as food for camels and goats. They’re especially popular among lions, who pick them up and carry them around, according to the zoo! Trees must be free of ornaments and other items, and can be dropped off outside the zoo in a specially marked area, until the zoo reaches capacity.
THE MARINE MAMMAL STRANDING CENTER responded to 160 strandings in 2020, including 71 seals, 30 dolphins, 12 whales, and 41 sea turtles. Since 1978 the MMSC has responded to more than 5,500 strandings up and down the coast, and does extensive work to rehabilitate sick and injured animals whenever possible.
