Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update February 13, 2025

February 12, 2025 By Bill Leahy


Construction projects are underway all across the island, including Avalon Bay Park, shown above.

CONSTRUCTION WORK is ongoing, nearly everywhere you turn!  From the major improvements taking place at Avalon Bay Park (see photo above) to new homes, minor repairs, utility improvements, and road repaving, it’s the season!  The winter season is a popular time for both home and infrastructure improvements, with less traffic and no crowds.

CHEF KYLE TIMPSON competed during Season 23 of Gordon Ramsay’s “Hell’s Kitchen”…and won!  Timpson, who grew up in Dennis Township, and used to work for the Miss Avalon fishing fleet, beat nationwide competitors and was awarded the top chef job at Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurant at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut.  Kyle used to work in local restaurants, too, before moving to Philadelphia to work aboard the Moshulu as chef de Cuisine, the Four Seasons as a senior Sous chef, as well as the executive chef of an Italian Steakhouse.

MARKET STATS: DID YOU KNOW that 208 properties sold in the local market during 2024?  Prices range from a low of $350,000 (for an efficiency condo unit) to a high of $11,950,000 (for a five-bedroom oceanfront home.)  36 properties sold for less than $1,000,000; 27 sold for $5,000,000 or more.  32 more properties are currently under contract, and 96 are available.  Our market offers something for everyone.  Want to take the next step toward achieving your real estate goals?  Call or email me today!

THE STONE HARBOR SHIVER POLAR PLUNGE takes place Saturday, March 15th, with a lineup of events before and after the Plunge into the cold Atlantic Ocean.  Do you have what it takes to Plunge into ocean water that’s less than 40 degrees?  Look for details and sign up information below!
