Salt Air > Snow

By ann

Although Avalon and Stone Harbor were in the path of a significant snow storm (well, enough for us to close the office yesterday…), the total accumulation was only about 4 inches.

People often ask about snow on the beach.  Yes, it will cover the sand temporarily. But with the combination of tides, and salty air/sand- it doesn’t last long.

I took this picture yesterday afternoon, shortly after the storm ended:

In Denial

Good News

By ann

I will ignore the crazy weather forecast, and focus instead on warmer days ahead.

There is a sign in the window of the Concord Cafe in Avalon- Opening March 7th.   Marabella’s in Stone Harbor and Pudgie Pelican in Avalon are now open.  “Opening soon” signs appearing at other businesses as well.

Next weekend is Daylight Savings (March 9th) – more light for walks after work.

The following weekend is the annual Stone Harbor Shiver (polar plunge)- Saturday, March 15th.   Click here for a link to the Facebook page

In the meantime, I will look forward to beach walks with fewer bulky layers 😉

Mauve and Sea Foam

By ann

TubWhile previewing a home today, and an agent commented on the “pink” counter tops. Obviously, she was too young to remember the popular decorating theme of the 80s and early 90s…especially homes at the shore.

This particular sale property was custom built in 1987, and in many ways, ahead of the curve with amenities.  Unfortunately, it’s hard for today’s buyer to see past popcorn ceilings, shiny cabinetry, “mauve” bathroom fixtures,  plush carpeting, wall paper, etc.

A seller may argue that the house is perfectly functional, yet a buyer will focus on the land value and likely see the home as a tear down.

Recently, a south end Avalon beach block home (built in 1996) was demolished shortly after settlement.  Especially in locations with premium land values, the tear down option provides buyers the opportunity to build the beach house of their dreams!
