Sales, listings, and the median price all increased versus last year.
MARKET STATS: The number of units sold, the number of active listings, and the median sale price all increased during the month of April versus a year ago. Factors driving the market include purchase demand (which has softened somewhat but continues to be strong), the supply of listings (which has increased slightly but is still about where it was two years ago), and interest rates (which are up versus a year ago but holding steady.)

AVALON’S SAND BACKPASSING PROJECT is underway with sand stockpiled in the borrow area around 32nd Street. That sand will be transported to north end beaches from 9th to 16th Streets to repair winter erosion. No sand will be transported during the holiday weekend. Beach paths from 10th Street to 15th Street will remain closed through the weekend until they can be repaired, however all beaches will remain open.
A DOLPHIN has been sighted in a tidal creek in Cape May Court House, more than a two-mile swim from where the creek enters the Delaware Bay. The dolphin first appeared in the creek several days ago, and people have been stopping by to view it as it swims and feeds in the creek. Earlier this week the Marine Mammal Stranding Center was formulating a plan to help the dolphin back to the deeper waters of the Delaware Bay. Meanwhile, Cape May Whale Watcher has reported numerous sighting of dolphins and calves on their daily dolphin watching trips in Delaware Bay and the ocean.
