Dramatic Views

By ann

The bonus of stormy weather? Amazing views.

Sunset picture taken Tuesday evening; the sunrise pictures (surrounded by blowing sand and ocean foam!) Wednesday morning.

No walk this morning- wimped out with the heavy rain 😉

October Summer, continued

By ann

Talked  with several summer neighbors yesterday. We are all grateful for this amazing stretch of weather, and “working hard” to take advantage…knowing that cold temperatures will eventually arrive.

Every time I rinse off my beach chair or kayak, I wonder if it’s the last use for 2013?  And then I hurry out again the next day (often bright and early before work) to fit in one more activity!

Yesterday’s adventures included a paddle around Stone Harbor Point (yes, that’s North Wildwood across the inlet).  The ocean was calm…and warm!

October Summer

By ann

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!

Options- 241 44th Street, Avalon

By ann

This house offers options- a terrific spot to build a new home (approximately 3500 square feet)…or use the current well maintained home.

Great location!  44th Street is a beach path street (a beautiful walk through the dune path to a wide, guarded beach).  Low key, residential neighborhood.  Yet still within walking/biking distance to recreation, restaurants, and downtown shops.  4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a huge screened in porch. Gas heat and central air.  50′ X 110′ lot.  $915,000 furnished.

For more details, click on the MLS Link

Please share with friends looking to purchase in Avalon, NJ.  I appreciate your interest and referrals!   ann@anndelaney.com

Sand Sculpture

By ann

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

Mortgage Interest Rates

By ann

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

By ann

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!
