Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update January 9, 2025

January 8, 2025 By Bill Leahy

More than six inches of snow fell on Monday.  By Tuesday morning sunshine and blue skies were back, but the snow remained!

SNOW AT THE BEACH!  Monday morning Avalon and Stone Harbor awoke to heavy snowfall, which continued all day.  By nightfall over six inches of fluffy white snow blanketed the beach and the rest of the island.  Public works crews plowed snow all day Monday and again Tuesday.  By mid-day Tuesday local roads were mostly clear, but with day time highs in the low thirties, and evening lows in the twenties, the piles of snow will be around for a while!


By early Monday the beach was covered with powdery snow!  Snow continued to fall most of the day.

NEED A POST-STORM CHECK of your house?  I’m happy to help.  If you need a quick drive by, or an interior check of your shore property, let me know.   If you need regularly scheduled winter property checks, I can recommend companies that provide formal winter watch services.


MARKET STATS:  29% more properties sold in November 2024 versus November 2023, while the median sale price decrease.  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

NEW YEAR, NEW SHORE HOME?  You love the shore, your family loves the shore…is this the year for you?  During 2024 over 200 families purchased a shore property in our local market; another 31 are scheduled to close on their shore property early this year.  With active listings beginning at $350,000 (for an efficiency condominium), there’s a way to make your dream of shore ownership a reality.  Let’s talk!  Call or email me today!

A FEW EXTRA MOMENTS of daylight make all the difference!  Sunset in Avalon is occurring about 4:52pm this week, as opposed to 4:36pm during the darkest days of December.  Longer days are a sign we’re on our way to another summer season!

135 DAYS until Memorial Day Weekend!

Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update December 12, 2024

December 12, 2024 By Bill Leahy

The sun sinks toward the horizon late on a chilly afternoon.

AVALON was awarded a $1-million grant for a living shoreline project at Avalon Bay Park Marina.  The $1-million grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation requires matching funds from Avalon, and will result in a 750-foot vegetated shoreline containing native and pollinator plants, a protective turtle barrier, and flood resistant curbing.   Avalon Bay Park Marina will also see other improvements as part of a major renovation, including a new boat ramp and dockmaster building, new bulkhead, sidewalks, and parking area, and new piers.  An overall view of the project is below:

CONGRATULATIONS to the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor, which has been honored as a Platinum Club of America, according to Seven Mile Times.  The YCSH is ranked among the top 30 yacht clubs in America, as measured by peers at other clubs.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT is everywhere on Seven Mile Island!  In Avalon, Dune Drive positively glows at night with lights everywhere.  In Stone Harbor, lights and decorations abound on 96th Street.  It’s quite a sight to see!

ADD SOME “BEACH” to your holiday with a gift from the shore!  Here are just a few local shopping ideas:

  • A box of fudge or other candy from The Fudge Kitchen:  https://fudgekitchens.com/
  • Movie tickets from Harbor Square Theatre:  https://www.squaretheatres.com/
  • Beach toys from Hoys 5 & 10: https://www.hoys510.com/
  • The perfect sweatshirt from Breezin’ Up: https://breezinup.com/
  • A subscription to Seven Mile Times: https://www.sevenmiletimes.com/subscriptions
  • Or make a reservation or purchase a gift card from your favorite island restaurant!

Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update December 5, 2024

December 4, 2024 By Bill Leahy

Last weekend, Avalon’s Festive Friday and Snowfest Saturday, plus Stone Harbor’s Island Holiday, helped kick off the holiday season in style.  Saturday night’s huge Christmas Parade was filled with floats, music, loads of fire trucks, and almost as many boats—and even a steam train!

WHAT A WEEKEND!  After a quiet Thanksgiving on Thursday, the island came to life with music, events, tree lightings, family activities, and the arrival of Santa.  Downtowns in both Avalon and Stone Harbor bustled with shoppers, restaurant patrons, and parade watchers!

HEREFORD INLET SAND AVAILABLE FOR BEACH FILLS:  Federal legislation signed into law this past week allows for the use of sand accumulated in Hereford Inlet for federally financed beach fill projects in Avalon and Stone Harbor.  Hereford Inlet sand was previously off limits due for several years due to a decision from the Interior Department; that meant that sand for beach fill projects had to be pumped from Townsend’s Inlet to Stone Harbor’s south end via pipes,  dramatically increasing the cost of those projects.    Local, state, and federal officials finally reached common ground, leading to the new legislation.

PENDING HOME SALES increased 2% in October 2024, according to the National Association of Realtors.  The association also reported that contract signings, an indicator of future home sales, increased 5.4% during the same month.  Locally, 32 new purchase contracts were written during the month of October 2024, up significantly from 11 in October 2023.

TOYS FOR TOTS:  Long & Foster will once again be supporting the annual Toys for Tots campaign. If you’d like to brighten the holiday of a child, stop by our office and drop off a new, unwrapped toy anytime during business hours.

IF YOU MISSED purchasing a holiday beach tag this past weekend, you can order them online.  To order, visit https://jersey-cape-tags.myshopify.com/collections/currentbeachtagsbadges

GIVE YOUR FAMILY THE ULTIMATE GIFT: A place at the shore!  There’s no better way to build family memories that last a lifetime!  Call or email me to get started.  I’ll even throw in a big, red bow!

Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update November 14, 2024

November 12, 2024 By Bill Leahy

Morning sunshine on a fall day, as seen from Avalon Marine Center, looking toward Avalon.

A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN fell Sunday evening, bringing a quarter- to a half-inch to most areas of Cape May County, in the form of a slow, soaking drizzle.  Although nowhere near enough to erase the 10-12″ rainfall deficit we’re in, it provided a bit of needed moisture to tamp down still-smoldering forest fires on Cape May County’s mainland.  By mid-week sunny, dry, and breezy conditions had returned.

OFF SEASON RENTAL PROPERTY EVALUATION: Do you own a vacation rental property?  If so, the off season is a great time to take a look—a hard look—at it, to make sure you’re maximizing your rental income.  Here’s a tip: Look at your property as if you’ve never seen it before, and you’re visiting for the first time.  Would you be happy if you’d just arrived for a week after paying several thousand dollars to stay for a week?  Take note of any worn-out furniture, scuffed walls or paint, dirty carpets, noisy, inefficient appliances, or uncomfortable mattresses.  Are the vent covers rusted?  Are the door- and window-jambs filthy?  Little things mean a lot!  If it’s dirty, clean it; if it’s broken, fix it; if it’s worn, replace it.  If you need help, let’s talk, and I’ll be happy to provide you with my own evaluation—free of charge—to help you get the most you can for the lowest reasonable cost.  Call or email me!

HAT’S OFF TO CAPTAIN JACK MORAN, of SeaTow, who towed a fishing vessel through the Two Mile Bridge, out to the ocean, so it could be picked up by a tug boat.  It’s being towed to New York to be scrapped.  The photo above shows the tight clearances on either side of the towed vessel, and illustrates why the drawbridges around the county can be tricky for large vessels to navigate in anything less than ideal conditions.  Throw in a cross wind and tidal currents, and things get very interesting!  Hat’s off to you, Captain Moran!  Photo courtesy of SeaTow Cape May.

BUYERS, TAKE A LOOK…Then take action! A good selection of properties is available for you to consider!  The newest listings are below.  Want to consider one of those, or something else?  Call or email me, and let’s discuss.  Just think, take action today and you could be celebrating the holidays in your new beach house!
