Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update April 15, 2021

April 15, 2021 By Bill and Kay Leahy


Ospreys, laughing gulls, and other shorebirds have returned and can be found all around the island.  Many osprey nests can be observed from various roadways, including this one adjacent to Avalon Boulevard.

OSPREYS, LAUGHING GULLS BACK!  Laughing gulls–commonly as seagulls–have made their return to our area and can be seen everywhere from beaches to back yards.  Ospreys are back, too.  Sit quietly along a back bay waterway for a while and you are likely to see them–often carrying a freshly caught fish in their claws as they fly back to their nest for dinner!

SPRING BEACH SWEEPS will take place Saturday morning, April 17th in Avalon, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle, and many other New Jersey beach towns.  The semi-annual sweeps help keep our beaches free of trash and debris.  Volunteers are always needed but must register first at www.cleanoceanaction.org.  Volunteers should plan to bring their own gloves, a bucket (to reduce use of plastic bags) and water.

STONE HARBOR BIRD SANCTUARY TOURS will return this summer…but did you know that you can walk the four trails on your own?  The trails enter the Sanctuary from Second or Third Avenues and then each winds its way to the interior.  The Heron Overlook often affords a view of feeding herons or egrets, while the Holly Path wanders through maritime forest where you can view sassafras, red cedar, and a three-hundred-year-old holly tree.  Benches interspersed along the way make for pleasant spots to sit and enjoy the view and sounds of nature.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’LL FIND ON THE BEACH–OR ON EBAY!  Horseshoe crab shells are often found washed up on local beaches.  One of them appeared–and sold–on eBay last week.  The seller described it as being from Avalon’s beach, measuring 17.5 inches long and 10 inches wide, and in excellent condition.

FREE TREE SEEDLINGS will be offered by the Avalon Environmental Commission to New Jersey residents and Cape May County homeowners.  On Saturday, May 1st, from 9am to 12pm, shore-appropriate seedlings will be provided to those who stop by the 39th Street greenhouse (next to the History Center) and sign in.  The NJ Tree Recovery Program is providing the free seedlings again this year.

LIST NOW, SELL LATER:  Thinking about selling your shore property, but don’t want to miss out on the summer season?  Why not list your property for sale now, but require that closing not occur until mid-summer or even post-summer?   That allows you to capitalize on strong demand now, with the aim of placing your property under contract now and avoiding summertime showings while you’re enjoying it.  Interested?  Call or email me!

WOW! $22.9 MILLION!  Take a look below for an astounding new listing that just hit the market!  With an exclusive beachfront location in the high dunes and an extraordinary new home to be built, it’s no surprise that there’s a premium price tag on this home.  But take a look at some of the other recent sales below–proof that we really do have something for everyone!  No matter what price range you’re interested in, call or email me and I’ll help you find the perfect place!

WIND FARM PUBLIC COMMENT:  The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has initiated a 30-day public comment period on the proposed 1,100 megawatt offshore wind project by Ocean Wind.  Virtual meetings will be held on Tuesday, April 13th (1pm), Thursday, April 15th (5:30pm), and Tuesday, April 20th (5:30pm).  For more information, or to register for the meetings, visit: https://www.boem.gov/ocean-wind

DRIVING THE MARKET:  The real estate market strength continues to be driven by the effects of the pandemic, with a few key factors especially influential locally:
– Spending more time at home: while spending more time at home during the pandemic, people are seeking more space for exercise, work, and gathering with family.
– Virtual work: all-virtual or hybrid work and school routines allowed people to reduce physical ties to the office or school.  Locally we have seen many families relocate to their vacation home, where they work or attend classes virtually each day–and then go for a walk on the beach each afternoon!
– Escaping cities & crowds:  with so much emphasis on social distancing in the past year, seeking the open spaces, views, and fresh air associated with our beaches and bays seems a natural evolution.

BEACH TAGS cost $25 for the season if purchased prior to May 31st.  Thanks to a partnership with Jersey Cape Tags, you can purchase your tags online and have them shipped to your home!  (A convenience fee and shipping cost applies.)

MARKET STATS:  Strong sales have reduced the number of available listings and pushed the median sale price up to $1,712,500 in February.  19 new listings hit the market in February, and 18 went under contract.  For a detailed look at the market, see the latest Long & Foster Market Minute Report:  http://www.longandfostermarketinfo.com/market-minute/NJ/Avalon-Stone-Harbor.pdf

OFFSHORE WIND FARMS=WHITE HOUSE PRIORITY:  The Biden administration wants to “fast-track leasing in federal waters off the New York and New Jersey coasts, a priority for wind power,” according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ, March 29th).  Only two offshore wind farms are currently operating in the United States, off Rhode Island and Virginia.  The WSJ went on to report that “Monday’s announcement includes a goal for 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2030, more than triple what the country is on pace for by 2026 if permits were issued without delay.”  Not all are in favor, however, with constituencies ranging from commercial and recreational fisherman to environmental groups having expressed concerns about the projects.

WINDRIFT ACQUIRED BY ICONA:  The Windrift Hotel was recently acquired by ICONA Resorts, which also owns the ICONA Golden Inn.  The Windrift will operate this season and will then undergo a renovation in preparation for the 2022 summer season.

AVALON WILL HOLD THE LINE on its local purpose tax, with no increase for 2021.  Avalon’s net ratables increased by $144 million in 2020, providing an additional $300,000 in tax revenue.  Stone Harbor introduced a budget in mid-March that would require a 12.4% increase in the municipal tax rate for 2021.  During the past year Stone Harbor incurred an emergency appropriation of over $300,000 in August to cover the cost of increased lifeguard pay and added over $400,000 in spending to provide paid fire department staffing to maintain sufficient coverage.

CAPE MAY COUNTY=”STORM-READY”:  Cape May County is the first New Jersey County to be deemed “storm-ready” by the New Jersey Storm Ready Board.  Various criteria include multiple means for receiving severe weather warnings, a formal hazardous weather plan, and the creation of a system that monitors weather conditions locally.  The Storm Ready program was created by the National Weather Service to improve response to hurricanes, severe flooding and tornadoes.

WHAT’S YOUR PLAN FOR 2021?  Whatever it is, I’m here to help!  Whether you need a week’s vacation at the beach, or something more permanent, call or email me today!

Avalon Beach Tag Information

March 27, 2021 By Bill and Kay Leahy

The Borough of Avalon allows for the sale of seasonal beach tags at pre-season prices.  The beach tags are available either by stopping by the Avalon Tax Collector’s Office at Avalon Borough Hall, or through the mail.  Mail orders (with a self-addressed stamped envelope) and in person purchases will begin on March 1, 2021.  No orders will be accepted before this date.  The cost pre-season beach tags for 2021 is $25.00.  Cash or checks will be accepted until May 14th, 2021.  You will not be mailed an actual beach tag, but a receipt that will be good to exchange for a beach tag at the Beach Tag Booth at 30th Street.

On June 1, 2021 the cost for a seasonal beach tag will increase to $30.00.  Beach tags will be required to access Avalon’s beaches from May 28-September 6, 2021.

NEW FOR 2021:  You can order, and pay for beach tags online, and have them delivered to your home!

The Avalon Borough Council approved a new agreement to partner with the Jersey Cape Diagnostic, Training, and Opportunity Center for another method for the purchase and delivery of seasonal beach tags.  Individuals can now purchase the tags online at www.jerseycapetags.com/avalonbeachtags and have the actual beach tags delivered to their homes.

Each spring, the Center will receive a supply of seasonal beach tags from the Borough for sale.  The tags can be purchased through the website with a credit card.  The customer will be charged a very small convenience fee, and a shipping fee determined by the method of shipping that the customer selects.  Each week, the Center will deliver a report to the Avalon Finance Department for reconciliation purposes.

Avalon Now Offers Seasonal Beach Tag Sales From Your Smartphone!

The Borough of Avalon has partnered with Viply to provide another way for residents and visitors to purchase seasonal beach tags for the upcoming summer season.  The seasonal beach tags are available via mobile app for smart phones for both Apple and Android devices.

Individuals who are interested in reserving seasonal beach tags simply download the mobile app, purchase the requested number of seasonal beach tags, and pick up the actual beach tags upon their visit to Avalon from any beach tag checkers or at the Avalon Beach Tag Booth located at 30th Street and Avalon Avenue, which opens April 3rd, 2021.  To redeem the tag, the customer presses “scan now” in the Viply app and points the camera at the QR code displayed by the beach tag checker or at the booth.  The phone will then display how many beach tags were purchased and the tags will be handed to the customer.

All sales are final and no refunds will be offered; a small service fee will be applied for each transaction.  Avalon offers seasonal beach tags at the preseason rate of $25 through May 31st; on June 1st, the price of a seasonal beach tag increases to $30 for the balance of the season.  Beach tags may be purchased via the Viply app anytime now through the end of the season.

Individuals may view the Viply Pass Avalon Beach Tag app at www.viplypass.com/avalon-beach-tags/.

The Avalon Beach Tag Booth will be open weekends starting on April 3rd from 10:00am through 4:00pm; the Booth opens for the season daily starting on May 1st.  Beach tags are required for all individuals 12 years or older between the hours of 10:00am until 5:00pm from May 28th through September 6th, 2021.    Daily and weekly tags will be available starting May 28th; daily tags cost $6, and weekly tags costs $13.

Avalon is proud to offer free seasonal beach tags to all veterans of the United States Armed Forces.  Active duty military members and their immediately families also may enjoy the beaches without a beach tag.

Free Veterans Beach Tags/Active Military

The Avalon Bor­ough Coun­cil approved an ordi­nance that results in free beach tags being offered to all vet­er­ans of the United States Mil­i­tary.  This ordi­nance went into effect in advance of the 2014 beach season, and continues to be in effect in the Borough.

The new law allows beach com­mu­ni­ties in New Jer­sey to offer reduced price or free beach tags to any indi­vid­ual who has served in any of the Armed Forces of the United States who were dis­charged or released under con­di­tions other than dis­hon­or­able and who either have served at least 90 days in active duty or have been dis­charged or released from active duty by rea­son of a service-incurred injury or disability.

Avalon will make the free beach tags avail­able at the Avalon Beach Tag Booth located next to Avalon Com­mu­nity Hall at 30th Street and the beach.  Vet­er­ans will sim­ply need to show appro­pri­ate doc­u­men­ta­tion to receive complimentary beach access for the 2020 beach sea­son in Avalon.  Appro­pri­ate doc­u­men­ta­tion includes:  DD-214, or any of the following:

–Cape May County Vet­er­ans card, issued by the county

-Active/retired/reserved military identification card

–Amer­i­can Legion card

–VFW card

–Viet­nam Vet­er­ans of Amer­ica card

–Dis­abled Vet­er­ans of Amer­ica card

–Marine Corps League card

Avalon continues its practice of offering free beach access to active members of the United States Armed Forces and their immediate family members.  Please note that for the 2018 beach season, veterans and active military mentioned above may simply show these forms of identification to a beach tag checker in lieu of obtaining a beach tag.

For more information view the Avalon Boro website.

Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update March 25, 2021

March 25, 2021 By Bill and Kay Leahy


Spring is here, and that makes some of us happy enough to do cartwheels on the beach!

BEACH TAGS AVAILABLE ONLINE!  Avalon and Stone Harbor beach tags are now available for online purchase!  Tags have been traditionally sold only in person, or payment could be mailed in advance, with tags to be picked up in person.  Many have asked for the ability to order tags online, and that option is now reality!  Tag maker Jersey Cape Tags has partnered with Avalon and Stone Harbor to offer seasonal beach tags from each town via their online store.

To order Avalon tags visit https://jersey-cape-tags.myshopify.com/collections/avalon/products/avalon2021seasonalbeachtag

THE TOP TWO SPOTS on a NJ.com list of the towns with the highest median single-family sale prices are held by Avalon (1) and Stone Harbor (2).  The NJ.com article reports that the median single-family sale price in Stone Harbor was $2,500,000 last year, while in Avalon the median single-family sale price was $2,578,750.  (The median is the middle datapoint, with half being lower and half being higher.)

DID YOU KNOW that there are still affordable properties in Avalon & Stone Harbor, despite the pricy reputation each town has?  Check out this week’s new listings, as well as what’s recently gone under contract or sold, down below.  Name your price range and let me help you find the perfect place!

WORLD WAR II ORDNANCE FOUND:  two unexploded artillery shells were found in a back yard in Cape May.  Local police and fire departments secured the scene, while the Atlantic City Bomb Squad was dispatched.  Bomb squad technicians removed the ordnance and safely detonated it on the beach.   Cape May played an important part in monitoring the coastline during World War II; the lookout tower on Sunset Boulevard and the remains of the gun embankment on the beach near the Cape May lighthouse are two prominent reminders of the role the city played in protecting the coastline, and the entrance to the Delaware Bay.

TIME FOR DUNE GRASS PLANTING!  Avalon’s Spring Dune Grass Planting event is just around the corner.  Volunteers are invited to help plant dune grass on Saturday, April 17th, and should report to Avalon Community Hall at 30th Street and Avalon Avenue at 8:30am.  A brief planting demonstration will be conducted, and special utensils for planting will be provided, as well as a box lunch after planting.  To sign up please contact Chuck McDonnell at Community Hall at 609-967-3066 or Sue Keen at 609-967-5924.  In the event of rain, the planting will be moved to Sunday, April 18th.

NEED A SUMMER JOB?  The Stone Harbor Job Fare is scheduled for Saturday, April 10th from 10am to 5pm.  Local businesses invite you to stop in to ask questions or request an application for employment during that time.

Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update March 18, 2021

March 18, 2021 By Bill and Kay Leahy


A clammer works a mud flat at low tide behind Stone Harbor.

THE HOUSING BOOM…THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT:  The Wall Street Journal reports that the current real estate market “is the inverse of the previous boom…in nearly every meaningful way.” (WSJ, March 15, 2021).  Among the factors cited are larger down payments and tighter credit standards than before; limited supply of housing versus too much new construction last time; demand this time around is driven by Covid and a new focus on where we live, including renovations for more space or vacation home purchases.  Read the full article here:  https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-pandemic-ignited-a-housing-boombut-its-different-from-the-last-one-11615824558?st=u3lci7gz7o89w5s&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

ROCKET LAUNCH IN FLORIDA? CATCH IT AT THE JERSEY SHORE!  Yes, the recent SpaceX rocket launched from Cape Canaveral was visible from the Jersey Shore and caught by photographer Jennifer Khordi as it passed!  Six of Jennifer’s incredible photos are here:

https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/photos-spacex-rocket-lights-up-the-jersey-shore-sky-in-awe-inspiring-spectacle/2741107/

WHERE CAN YOU FIND A SNOW LEOPARD, a black bear, an African bison, and an elk?  Right in Cape May County, of course, at the Cape May County Park & Zoo!  An 8-year-old female snow-leopard named Maliha is the latest addition to the zoo, joining an enormous variety of residents.  The zoo is widely regarded as a local treasure, open 10am to 4pm daily, and is free to visit (donations are appreciated!)  Spend an hour or spend a day, at any time of year–and be sure to bring your camera!

AVALON, THEN & NOW: Those who enjoy Avalon’s history will enjoy this two-minute video showing old Avalon scenes, overlayed with the views from the same locations today.  Some vintage structures are still visible today, while others have been overtaken with newly constructed homes.  Check out the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=TFg44yBTS_c

THE STONE HARBOR SHIVER takes on a new format this year, reincarnated as the Virtual Shiverrr & Shake.  Sign up and then jump in the ocean between March 20th and May 2nd, then post your selfies to the event’s Facebook page.  Registration is available from $25 to $45, depending upon the type of entry and whether you prefer a long sleeve tee or a hoodie to wear to keep warm after your plunge!  Register here https://www.active.com/stone-harbor-nj/water-sports/swimming/stone-harbor-shiverrr-and-shake-2021 then post your selfies here: https://www.facebook.com/Stone-Harbor-Shiver-151496298199066/?ref=page_internal
