October Summer

Taking advantage of this amazing weather.

On my day off yesterday, I kayaked in the bay, took a walk, and spent some quality time in my beach chair 😉   This morning, I kayaked in the ocean before work.

Oh…the burdens of living at the shore!

Sand Sculpture

Without tractor grooming…or foot traffic…the wind has the freedom to make patterns in the sand.

Mortgage Interest Rates

houseMortgage loans are classified as conventional (less than $417,000) and jumbo (loans above $417,000).  In the past, interest rates for jumbo loans were higher than those for conventional mortgages.

Now, lenders are advertising rates 1/4 to 1/2 percent lower for jumbo loans.

Another nice boost for the shore real estate market.

If you would like to talk to an area mortgage representative regarding a purchase or re-finance, I am happy to provide recommendations.

Fall Sunsets

Darker in the morning (catching EVERY sunrise on my daily beach walk) and earlier sunsets.  Not a fan of the shorter days…but loving the views!

Tis the Season

The off season is an ideal time to visit our beach neighbors.  Yesterday, a leisurely bike ride along the Ocean City boardwalk…and a stop at Manco’s Pizza.

Interesting perspective of the ocean front homes (many new) along the way.  Like here, the tear down trend continues.

Island Life

KiawahWalkwayQuestion: “When you live at the shore…where do you go on vacation?”

As much as we love and appreciate our surroundings, it’s still our place of work.  So after a busy summer season, it’s time to look forward to a vacation.

Not surprising- we are drawn to other beach/island locations.  With specific conditions: not too crowded, a nice beach, not too commercial (wait- that sounds like Avalon and Stone Harbor!)

We have traveled to many beautiful desinations over the years- with a week on a low key Caribbean island in our near future 😉
