Of those SOLD- 1 commercial property, 3 classified as vacant lots, 18 condo/townhouse units, and 23 residential properties. The median selling price was $1,060,000, including a low of $145,000 for a Beachcomber condo (motel) to $5,150,000 for a southend Avalon custom beach block home. 11 were in Stone Harbor; 34 in Avalon.
Of the condo/townhouse sales- the median selling price was $692,000. 10 were townhouse style (2 levels) and 8 were traditional condo style. 3 were in Stone Harbor and 15 in Avalon.
The median asking price for the combined 41 “sale pending” properties is $1,099,000– in line with the median price of those recently settled.
The street adjacent to the Villa Maria Retreat House in Stone Harbor- the only beach block street on the island lined with economy cars. Most have sun shades in the windshields and Immaculata University bumper stickers, too 😉
My view as I crossed over the beach path early this morning for a walk before work.
What an incredible experience. Returned yesterday from Lake Placid after watching the IronMan- and specifically, 3 family members competing. 
Thousands of spectators to support the 3000 participants during the 17 hour event.
Before the race, I had a few days to tour the scenic area and check out their real estate. Beautiful homes line both Mirror Lake and Lake Placid. On Lake Placid, it’s all about the boat house and water front garages.  For some, it’s the only way to access their home!
The family members of the athletes (AKA the cheering section) are set with their attire for Sunday’s IronMan.  
They will swim 2.4 miles in Mirror Lake, bike 112 miles through Lake Placid and the surrounding towns, and then run 26.2 miles…whew!
I find it very touching when I come across sand memorials on my early morning beach walks.
