Beach walkers naturally take in their surroundings- and there’s always plenty to see.
Because I have sea glass hoarding down to a science 😉 Â it’s time to diversify with sand dollars.
Found these just in the past week (original condition- not bleached). Â Info from Wikipedia- click here.
The island is returning to life.
More lights are on in my neighborhood. Beach tractors are grooming the sand.
The trees in the business district are blooming. Â Lawns are manicured, and flower beds mulched.
Beach tags booths are open. Outside furniture is upright on sun decks.
We are ready!
Lucky to work just 2 blocks from the beach…and have a pair of sneakers in my car 😉
Spotted this morning at the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary:
After a few days of bright sun and moderate temperatures, we are back to chilly rain.
Posting Monday’s sunrise picture to hold me over 😉
This phrase may sound odd, yet it’s often true for residential real estate along the coast.
An older home may be well maintained and charming; but if it doesn’t suit the life style of today’s buyer, the building’s value is minimal.
Our other reality: building codes/elevation.
The federal government is phasing out the subsidies in the flood insurance program. Â Homes built prior to 1974 (before elevation codes enforced) are likely to sit lower than required, and if so, cost more to insure.
And if a buyer decides to take on a major renovation project, the municipality will require the home be brought up to code (including elevation). Â We are seeing several island properties getting a “lift” – an expensive option, but certainly far less than brand new construction.
If you have any questions regarding market values in Avalon or Stone Harbor NJ, please let me know.
I appreciate the opportunity to help!
Only 40 days until Memorial Day weekend…
The oystercatchers are fun to watch (and hard to photograph!). Â I almost always see them in pairs, and they have a distinct squawk as they fly overhead.
