It’s certainly possible with a late summer or early fall vacation at the beach!

If Only…
A customer was talking about the new condo projects above commercial space in Avalon, and asked my opinion (overall) if sale prices could go any higher?
I’ve heard that question so many times during my 40+ years in the industry!
And, the question is typically followed by “If only I had purchased back in _____, when I could have bought _________ for $__________.”
So, yes, history confirms that the prices will eventually increase.
A buyer may feel like they are over paying at the time, yet eventually, they can brag how savvy they were to purchase at the shore 🙂
I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding values in Avalon or Stone Harbor.

Mid-Summer Cleaning
We are now at least 9 weekly tenants into the summer rental season (depending on the owner start date) and the properties are beginning to feel their “age”.
Extra attention is likely needed on the ceiling fans, air-conditioning return vents, and outdoor living spaces. The weeds in the landscaping and/or stones may be taking over the yard. There might be multiple empty containers of shampoo and pieces of used soap in the outside shower. The drip pan under the grill probably needs to be emptied.
It’s always worthwhile for owners to be on hand for the occasional change-over for these reasons.
If you need assistance with extra projects , I am happy to make recommendations.

Driving in NJ
While our grandson is here visiting, he’s learning the nuances of driving in New Jersey!
The other night, the challenges included bridges, flooded street (it was after the storm), and distracted pedestrians.
But the highlight was getting gas, and saying the phrase “20 regular cash”!
As lifelong NJ residents, we don’t give it a second thought, but I found a Google definition that made me laugh:
What is 20 regular cash?
This term is relevant throughout the entire state. In New Jersey, it’s illegal to pump your own gas, making ’20 Regular Cash’ a common phrase. Translation? “I would like you to put $20 worth of regular gas into my car, please and I will pay with cash.†The amount of gas received for $20 may vary.

Beach Tags- Lost and Found!
At this point of the summer, tracking down wayward beach tags becomes a full time job 😉
Tip for rental property owners who provide tags as a courtesy for their guests:
Pin the tags to an item that will definitely stay with the house after the tenant checks out (a beach chair or beach wagon for example). Some owners have a lanyard with the house address so that all of the tags are in one spot.
Tags are a nice perk for your tenants- yet it’s frustrating when they disappear midway through the season!

Job Description?
Sunday morning, I was walking with a baby gate to one of the rental homes I handle. The tenants have small children and expressed concerns with the steps in the house. So I brought over a gate from my house to provide a solution.
This sums up the “what do you do all day” question!
In the past week, I worked on issues with appliances, electronics, and an elevator. Sometimes the problems are “user error”, so I try to diagnose before calling in the professionals!
AND, in between, I’m showing /selling homes on the island! Busy summer schedule 🙂

Avalon and Stone Harbor beach fill project
The major beach fill project is finally ready to wrap up. The heavy duty equipment is currently at 122nd and 123rd Streets, pumping sand to the 1st jetty by the Point.
Once the pumping is complete, the pipes that run the length of the Stone Harbor beach from 92nd to 123rd Street will be removed.
It’s been a bit of an obstacle course for the past few months, but worth it for the beautiful, wide beaches along 7 Mile Island!
