Probably one of the most perfect sand dollars found to date!
And I love the contrast with the sand and snow on the beach.
The island is covered with a pretty layer of powdery snow.
Still cold (for now) but gorgeous for my early morning beach walk before work.
A new law in the State of New Jersey charges applicable sales and use tax on short term rentals booked through “transient marketplaces” such as Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO, and FlipKey.
Vacation rentals arranged through a real estate broker’s office are purposely excluded, and the new tax will not apply.

A clarification on the State of New Jersey and Borough of Avalon/ Borough of Stone Harbor fire inspection code:
1) No changes to the code for properties with hardwired detectors. Â Hardwired smoke detectors must be less than 10 years old.
2) The change applies to properties with stand alone battery operated smoke detectors. Â Those units MUST be swapped out with new detectors that have a 10 year sealed battery. Â Even if the current battery operated detectors were replaced with the past few years, property owners are required to comply with the new code.
Selling the Shore
If a buyer is looking for a single family home to purchase in Avalon or Stone Harbor, their options include:
1) Newer construction (typically defined as less than 10 years old)
2) A tear down
3) The “in between” house (built in the 90s through to the early 2000s)
Of the 3 choices, the “in between” home can be the most challenging.
The amenities may be out of date, and buyers could be facing major functional repairs. Â Therefore, the selling price over and above base land value depends on a buyer’s perception of use/value.
If you own an “in between” home, updates and consistent maintenance are key to retaining value of the structure. Watch a few episodes of an HGTV program, and then walk around the house objectively with the eye of a buyer.
I am happy to share my suggestions, too. Â Â 609-967-7950 Â or ann.delaney@timkerrsir.com
