Bayfront owners in Stone Harbor proudly display their flags for Memorial Day. This one caught my attention because the pole is a natural piece of wood- looks like drift wood. Appropriate for the setting.

Memorial Day

Everyone is Here!
There’s no question- this is a successful Memorial Day weekend for Avalon and Stone Harbor. Owners and visitors are enjoying great weather, too!Bikes, joggers, cars,and strollers are everywhere.  On my drive to work, I passed many families heading to the beach for the day.
Tomorrow, both communitieswill honor the holiday with parades and ceremonies. 9am in Avalon- 30th Street to 21st Street; and 12 noon along 96th Street in Stone Harbor.

Sports at the Shore
While watching the World Series or Super Bowl, we don’t have many neighbors. In the off season, it’s down to just a few homes occupied on each block. In 2008, after the Phillies won the World Series, we heard someone driving around honking their horn (the fan obviously wanted to celebrate, but there were no gatherings in the streets here!)
Last night was different. With the windows open and cool breeze, we heard loud cheers every time the Flyers made a goal. Our neighborhood was watching the game together…just in our separate homes. It added to the excitement of the game.Â
Looking forward to a better outcome in tomorrow night’s game…

A Seashore Home?
Realistic prices, low interest rates, and ample inventory = a great time to buy.Seashore homes continue to be a solid, long term investment. We have returned to a normal market- where property owners plan for a 7 to 10 year holding period. Invest your hard earned money and benefit from beach time, too!
Avalon and Stone Harbor have brand name recognition, well planned zoning, and a faithful clientele of family visitors. Surrounded by scenic waterways- we truly are an island retreat.
For access to all sale listings in our Multiple Listing Service: http://www.powerplayrealty.com/sales  click on the first search option.

Thanks…I appreciate the opportunity to help!

Mother Nature’s clean up
The ocean has an efficient method of removing both natural and man-made debris. The higher than average tides (from the full moon) and a rough ocean deposited marsh reeds on the beach overnight.  The beach raking machines were out early to clear the sand for a busy beach weekend!
During my morning walk, I picked up trash that washed in with the reeds- a few plastic sports drink bottles and Mylar balloons (a wake up call on the waste produced with everyday products).  The Borough and individual efforts are similar to cleaning before company arrives…we are proud of our seashore community and want it seen in the best light!
Enjoy the weekend 🙂

Demolition at the Shore
Because homes at the shore are situated close to one another, demolition has to be an exact science. The common practice is to create a “doll house” by tearing down from within…fascinating to watch. (Bay front home on Ocean Drive in Avalon)
