Well…not ideal.  A few rays of sun (and rain drops) this morning on my walk before work.  The beach fill crew are working 24/7- actively rebuilding the south end Stone Harbor beach!

Stone Harbor Beachfill Update
Good news: the dredge returned to the inlet this afternoon, and resumed active pumping. Â I posted a few pictures tonight on Twitter.
Because of time lost due to bad weather and rough seas, the project will extend into the early part of our season. Â The dredging company will create beach access over the pipe and open beaches within a safe distance from the work area.
A crew member said they will be working for several days in their current location – 123rd Street and south to the jetty – before moving north.
The project runs 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. We will see amazing progress in the next few weeks!
Will continue to post updates.
Picture taken Thursday evening- that’s “beach” coming out of the pipe!

Waiting for the Sun
From my office window, I can see the American flags lined up over Hoy’s 5 & 10. Â The flags provide daily proof of what I already know: it’s cold and windy!
I am STILL wearing a hat and multiple layers for my beach walk…the heat is STILL on in my house…and I am STILL wearing socks 😉

Sale Inventory
The reports regarding lack of inventory may sound like real estate spin, yet it’s definitely true for segments of our market.
The lower priced condos are selling ($300,000 to $500,000), and there is a strong demand for single family homes priced under $1,000,000. Â The side by side townhouse style condos are still popular ($700,000 to $800,000 range depending on age/condition).
If you own an Avalon or Stone Harbor property and are considering selling (to move up??), this really is a good time. Â Contact me to discuss in more detail.
Thank you for the opportunity to help!

Rules
This morning, I noticed a few people walking out along one of the jetties. Â The ocean was rough, and of course I worried that someone might slip and fall. Â Didn’t they read the warning sign?I thought back to our vacations in Hawaii- amazed that people were “allowed” to hike almost anywhere. Â When I asked a local man about this freedom, he said “you must live somewhere with a lot of rules!”
Last fall, we hiked a beautiful coastal trail on Kauai. Â It was muddy, steep, and a bit scary when you looked down along the cliffs. Â The guide book was clear about the dangers of this trail, and other popular tourist sites on the island (even mentioning the number of annual deaths from falls/drowning). Â But have fun…
I guess we are a bit more uptight here in New Jersey 😉

May Weekend

Beach Fill, Stone Harbor
The dredge was moved from the inlet, and the beach fill equipment has been idle for several days. Â The clock is ticking and I know the dredging company and the Borough of Stone Harbor expect completion of the project by Memorial Day. Â Unfortunately, weather and repairs can cause temporary delays. Â Will continue to post updates…
