Keep an eye out for eagles around the island, as they stalk their pray. See below for a note on another kind of Bird!
2024 MARKET OFF TO STRONG START: Six properties went to closing during the first week of the new year, with an additional five placed under contract. The recent drop in interest rates is helping to drive the market, along with continuing demand for shore homes. See below for the properties that closed, those placed under contract, plus this week’s new listings.
BOATS IN JANUARY? Except for a few diehards, most boats are out of the water in January. But an indoor boat show is a great way to get a jump on summer boating. 4,500 people attended last weekend’s Wildwood Fishing & Boating Expo at the Wildwood Convention Center, according to the Atlantic City Press. About 70 boats were on display in a 45,000 square foot section of the Convention Center, along with 76 fishing and boating related vendors, displaying rods & reels, fishing tackle, and boating products and services. Several boating and fishing seminars were offered as well. At least ten boats were sold during the first day of the show.
ATLANTIC CITY EXPRESSWAY TOLLS have increased for 2024. At the main toll plaza, the cash toll increased fifteen cents to $4.70, and the EZPass toll increased to $3.01. The various other tolls increased similarly. Routes 322, 55, 50, 49, and 47 remain popular toll-free alternatives for reaching 7 Mile Island.
