Father’s Day at the Beach
I wrote this post in 2011; worthy of an annual repeat!
Thinking of my father today. He worked 6 days a week, so Sundays were a sacred day…at the beach.My dad was blessed with hardy Irish skin that turned dark brown in the summer months. Suntan lotion (we didn’t call it sunscreen back then) and the giant yellow umbrella with the lethal metal pole were for the rest of us who just freckled and burned.
My mother laughs when decribing all of the equipment hauled to the beach, along with 4 little girls: a large playpen (even heavier than the massive umbrella), beach chairs, buckets, coolers, etc. And of course, my father’s fishing gear. At a certain age, my sisters and I were permitted to walk back to the house to retrieve more food and beer for the grown ups (wrapping the beer in foil to trick the lifeguards??)
The Sunday tradition continued with the next generation. My sons enjoyed beach days with “Pop Pop” and followed the rules at the end of the day: 1) “call” your turn for the outside shower, and 2) hang bathing suits/towels on the line. All beach items were thoroughly rinsed, set in the sun to dry, and of course, neatly stored by night fall. Even though we grew up by the beach, sand was NEVER permitted in the house!
Long beach days are an ongoing family tradition. My father’s rules are now enforced at my house (I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown the day this picture was taken…I am my father’s daughter!)The love of the beach…and family time together.
Thanks Dad.

Busy Month of May
Market UpdateA total of 45 properties sold (settlement) during the month of May in Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ.  The overall median selling price was $999,000.
By category:
27 single family homes, ranging from $505,000 for a bungalow located over the 21st Street bridge; to $7,000,000 for a well maintained ocean front home on a 70′ x 110′ lot in the south end of Avalon.  The median selling price was $1,135,000.
13 condominium/townhouse units, ranging from $252,000 for a 1 bedroom bay front unit located at 96th Street and Sunset Drive; to $1,325,000 for a bay front side by side townhouse style located over the 25th Street bridge.  The median selling price was $527,500.
3 vacant lots, ranging from $1,750,000 for a lot on the beach block side of 38th and First Avenue; a south end beach block on 66th Street, and a bay front lot on Seagull Drive both sold for $2,450,000.
2 multi-family homes, an older Cape style across the street from the bay on 99th and Sunset Drive for $925,000; and an older expanded Cape on the beach block corner of 35th and First Avenue (60′ X 110′ lot) for $1,700,000.
While the condominium/townhouse sales are straightforward, the other 3 categories often cross over. Â An older single family home may truly be a “land value” sale. Â One of the reported vacant lot sales still has an older home on the site (to be torn down). This aspect of our market can be confusing for appraisers!
