Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update November 6, 2025

By

Even in the off-season Mother Nature treats us to beautiful scenes on a daily basis!  Marsh grasses have ceded their lush green color for a uniform brown, but still offer up intriguing views!

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!

Sure, it’s a bit chilly, but nothing that a sweatshirt or sweater can’t handle.  And, it’s positively beautiful out on the water in October!

THAT OCTOBER CHILL:  With overnight lows down in the 40s, early mornings have had quite a chill to them the past few days.  But with it having been so dry and clear, it’s just about perfect!  Throw on the sweater or windbreaker and head out for a walk on the beach or ride on the boat, and enjoy some great October weather!


MARKET STATS: The number of units sold during September 2025 increased from a year ago along with the median sale price, while the number of active listings decreased.  For a detailed look at the market see the latest Long & Foster Market Minute Report: https://marketminute.longandfoster.com/Market-Minute/NJ/Avalon-Stone-Harbor.htm

LUCKY ENOUGH to be here during the off season?  It’s a super time to try a new restaurant.  Whether it’s one that you heard about from a friend but never got to, or perhaps you tried to get there but couldn’t get in during the season, now’s your chance!  Most of our local restaurants, both on and off the island, are still open at this time of year.  Make a reservation and give ’em a try!

DUNE GRASS PLANTING is a great way to give back to the island we all love—and after the nor’easter that caused beach erosion at Avalon’s north-end beaches, dune grass planting is more important than ever.  Take the opportunity to help out this weekend!  See my events list below for details on registering to help out!

UPCOMING EVENTS:

  • Cooking with Carolyn: Cool Fall Supper.  Stone Harbor Library, Thursday, October 23rd, 1pm to 3pm.

Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update October 16, 2025

By

Frothy ocean waves rolled into Townsend’s Inlet during the nor’easter this past weekend, pounding the seawall.  The Townsend’s Inlet Bridge was closed to automobile traffic, but onlookers stopped at the traffic barriers to catch a glimpse of the power of the waves.  (All storm photos courtesy of Grace Leiser.) 

THE NOR’EASTER that affected Avalon and Stone Harbor over the weekend brought strong, gusty winds, rain, and tidal flooding.  30-40mph northeast winds gusting to 50mph caused tides to “stack” over the course of three high tide cycles, leading to water in low lying streets.  Wind driven waves caused beach erosion, particularly in Avalon’s north end.  By late Monday the wind had eased significantly, and had begun shifting to a more northerly direction, allowing stacked tides to begin emptying from the back bays.


Another view of the Townsend’s Inlet Bridge, as wind-driven spray blows across Ocean Drive.


On the back bays conditions varied widely.  Here, the northeast wind was blowing away from the bulkhead, making it appear relatively calm, but the high tide level is evident, as access ramps are rising upward to reach floating docks.  In some areas stacked tides flowed over the top of low-lying bulkheads. 

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN has affected numerous programs, including the National Flood Insurance Program.  New NFIP policies aren’t being written, and existing policies can’t be assumed by buyers.  However, flood insurance is available from the private market, and, according to Mike Mento of Prosperity Mortgage, in many cases offer higher coverage or lower costs.  Need a recommendation for an insurance agent to discuss flood insurance coverage?  Call or email me!

TWO POPULAR AREA FUEL STOPS are temporarily closed.  The Garden State Parkway rest stop at mile marker 19 is fully shutdown, including the fuel pumps, for renovations.  Also shut down are the fuel pumps at the Wawa at the intersection of Route 9 and Sea Isle Boulevard.  Plan accordingly!

THANK YOU, PHILLIES!  Although Red October didn’t last anywhere near as long as we’d hoped, it was a fun season.  From opening day through the last post-season game, you gave us lots of thrills.  We’re already looking forward to spring training!  Meanwhile, Go Birds!

UPCOMING EVENTS:

  • Wildwood ‘50s, ‘60s & ‘70s Weekend.  Friday night dance party, classic car show, Saturday street fair, and Saturday night concert featuring The Pointer Sisters and The Spinners.  Friday and Saturday, October 17th & 18th.  Details and tickets are here: https://www.gwcoc.org/2025-wildwoods-50s-60s-70s-weekend/

Overlooking the beach on a beautiful fall day…there’s no better place to be!

SOME ANNUAL FAVORITES are back this weekend!  If you’re lucky enough to be here enjoying a three-day weekend at the shore, be sure to visit two of our annual favorites…the Avalon Arts & Seafood Festival takes place on Saturday from 10am to 5pm at Surfside Park, and will feature fresh local seafood, live music, artisan crafts and decor, and a variety of vendors.  Also happening Saturday is the Stone Harbor Classic & Vintage Car Show, featuring a variety of automobiles on display on 96th Street, from 10am to 1pm.  Both events are perfect for enjoying the best of Seven Mile Island during the off season!

OTHER OFF-SEASON FAVORITES are available to enjoy nearly anytime.  If you feel that summertime is often too busy to squeeze in some of the fun things around Cape May County, try them now!  Here are some ideas: visit one of the county’s many breweries; spend an afternoon at the Cape May County Park & Zoo (it’s free!); explore the Cape May Lighthouse; make a reservation at a restaurant that’s normally crowded in the summer; visit a local winery for tasting; ride as a foot passenger aboard the Cape May-Lewes Ferry;

REINVESTING IN YOUR RENTAL PROPERTY is prudent, and helps maximize your rental revenue over the long term.  New carpeting or refinished floors, new furniture or appliances, fresh paint, or a full remodel all help to keep your property looking its best.  You don’t need to do it all at once! Spacing out projects helps keep costs down in a given year, while still contributing to your property’s appearance.  Want to discuss ways to improve your property (and revenue)?  Call or email me; I’ll make recommendation based on my experience, and help you get the most bang for your buck!

HAVE YOU SEEN MONARCH BUTTERFLIES travelling southward?  They do every year at this time, on their annual journey to Mexico.  Cape May County’s geography acts as a natural funnel, increasing the likelihood of seeing monarchs as they migrate.  Monarchs will often stop to roost in groups; if they do, observe them from a distance so as not to disturb them.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

  • Fall Restaurant Weekend in Stone Harbor.  October 9th through 12th, at participating restaurants.
  • Avalon Arts & Seafood Festival.  Fresh, local seafood, live music, artisan craft and décor vendors.  Saturday, October 11th.
  • Stone Harbor Classic & Vintage Car Show.  200 block of 96th Street, Saturday, October 11th, 10am to 1pm.

Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update October 2, 2025

A view of Stone Harbor’s beach, from one of the pavilions.  It’s a great place to sit on a bench and take a break!

IN THE 70s BY DAY, 60s AT NIGHT!  Ahhh, thank you, October, for that delightful, crisp air in the evening, followed by warm sunshine each morning!  Among other things to enjoy in October are smaller crowds at local events, nearly empty beaches, plus (free!) parking spaces available near your favorite restaurant, and less traffic!

WHAT’S STILL OPEN ON THE ISLAND?  I’m often asked that question by people who aren’t able to spend much time here in the off season.  The answer?  Most everything!  From The Reeds to Fred’s, and Icona Golden Inn to The Princeton, plus many, many shops, you’ll find lots of options!  C’mon down!

DRIVING THE REAL ESTATE MARKET:  Properties are still selling, and sometimes very quickly.  Purchase demand remains strong, but proper pricing is important.  Inventory is a bit tighter than before.  Buyers, if you’re you’ll be using mortgage financing, discuss your situation with a lender in advance so that you’re pre-qualified and ready to move quickly (call or email me and I’ll put you in touch with a reliable lender.)  Sellers, let’s discuss your goals, and price your property for a successful sale!

RED OCTOBER OR FLY, EAGLES, FLY? If you’re a sports fan from the Philadelphia area, you’ve got lots to be happy about this fall!  Whether you prefer “Red October!” or “Go Birds!” as your favorite slogan, we’re all cheering on our favorite teams.  Best wishes to the 4-0 Philadelphia Eagles as they continue their season, and to the Philadelphia Phillies as they begin post-season play this weekend!
