WITH OUR CLOCKS NOW CHANGED back to Eastern Standard Time, sunset is occurring earlier—a lot earlier—in the day. Thursday’s sunset in Avalon will occur at 4:52pm. Sunrise is now occurring earlier, too—about 6:32am in Avalon.
OFF SEASON INSPIRATIONS: Shorter days mean less sunshine and perhaps less time on the beach, but there are still plenty of times and places to enjoy the natural beauty of our island and the surrounding area. Look aloft and spot bald eagles returning to the area, or ducks migrating south; visit the beach on a cold-but-calm day and marvel at the number of private boats, fishing vessels, and commercial ships out on the ocean; check local waterways for the tell-tale swirling of stripers feeding on baitfish; stop by one of our many public piers or docks to view a late afternoon sunset.
MORTGAGE RATES remain around 6% with no points, for both conventional and jumbo loans. Whether purchasing or refinancing, this may be a great time to make the move! If you’re interested in purchasing, let’s talk; if you’re thinking about refinancing, I can put you in touch with reliable lenders.
FOOD DRIVE BEGINS: The Cape May County Association of Realtors is sponsoring a food drive to help feed local families in need. Your donation helps provide fresh meals and groceries to those who otherwise might go to bed hungry, especially during an extended government shutdown. Donations can be dropped off at the CMCAR office by November 25th, or ordered online and shipped right to the office: Cape May County Association of Realtors, 1546 Route 9 North, Swainton, NJ 08210. Your support is appreciated!
