September beach days are the best!
MARKET STATS: 35 new listings hit the market last month, and 36 listings went under contract. The increase in new listings that we’ve seen over the past couple of months hasn’t quite matched demand, and the overall number of active listings has continued to decline.

“BEACH SET UP GUY” WILL BE BACK for 2022! During the 2021 season the Beach Set Up Guy provided beach goers with daily set up services in Avalon and Stone Harbor, carting chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards to the beach each morning, then packing them up and taking them home in the afternoon. His popular service ended in August, but “BSUG” reported that he’ll be back for the 2022 season with full time employees and may expand to an additional shore town. Curious about using his services next season? Visit him at https://www.beachsetupguy.com/
THE 96TH STREET BRIDGE will close to automotive traffic Monday through Thursday evenings 8pm to 6am, through September 30th, for structural repairs to its movable drawbridge span.

MEET REGIS, A NEW ADDITION at the Cape May County Zoo! According to the zoo he’s a 6-pound, 7-month-old red kangaroo who needed a home. Regis spends much of his time in a pouch, and gets supervised visits outside. The Cape May County Zoo is a wonderful local resource. It’s open seven days a week, features an incredible variety of animals, and admission is free (but donations are greatly appreciated!)
FALL PROJECT LISTS are a shore tradition, after a busy summer season of rentals or vacation usage. From carpet cleaning to repainting, to repairs and upgrades, NOW is the time to plan those offseason projects to make sure your shore home is ready for the 2022 season. With the frenetic pace of summer behind us, many contractors now have more time to meet with clients, provide estimates, and plan projects. Don’t wait–make your wish list, then make some calls!
