Last weekend’s fun culminated with the huge parade Saturday night! Music, firetrucks, and floats all spread holiday cheer, and Santa was welcomed to town!
AVALON & STONE HARBOR kicked off the holiday season with a weekend-long celebration beginning the day after Thanksgiving. Many homeowners and visitors—and especially excited children!–participated in tree lighting ceremonies, enjoyed music, food, and drink, plus a huge variety of holiday-oriented activities for kids. Santa made several appearances, and was the guest of honor in Saturday night’s parade, arriving aboard Stone Harbor’s fireboat!
MARKET STATS: During the month of October 2023 the number of units sold declined, while inventory remained tight and the median sale price increased. Buyers are still buying, but fewer sellers are choosing to sell!

WINTER PROJECTS: NOW’S THE TIME to begin them. Plan ahead and begin early, while you’re not using or renting your shore property. Whether you’re considering floor refinishing or carpet replacement, a kitchen or bathroom upgrade, painting, or other work, take advantage of the off season. Need a contractor recommendation?
