Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update September 19, 2024

September 18, 2024 By Bill Leahy

The ICONA Windrift Tiki Bar is open air and overlooks the beach and ocean, making a September lunch a real treat!

AVALON’S BAY PARK MARINA will undergo improvements as part of an $8.6 million construction project, including a new bulkhead and improvements to the marina building and kayak park.  The work will be performed by Fred M. Schiavone Construction, the same firm that built Surfside Park in Avalon several years ago.  In addition to boat slips and a boat launch ramp, there is a beautiful pier out over the bay.  Stop by sometime to take in a bay view or gorgeous sunset!

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BUY A SHORE HOUSE?  When you’re ready!  That’s not meant to be funny—everyone’s situation is different, so when you’re ready to buy, that’s the time!  And if you happen to be ready now, not only will you find more properties to choose from, but you’ll also find mortgage interest rates to be at their lowest level in a year and a half.  If you’re ready, let’s talk!  Call or email me today! ​

FALL CHORES at your shore house are just as important as your spring preparations.  It’s time for things like carpet and grill cleaning; winterizing of pools, outdoor showers and other outside water systems; a post season deep cleaning of the house.  Now is the time to schedule these chores, so call your contractor or service provider now.  Need a recommendation?  Call or email me!
