Ann Delaney Beach Blog | Life on 7 Mile Beach (Avalon, Stone Harbor, NJ) and its amazing real estate market.

Yes, it’s been mild. Â Yes, I’m happy for the reasonable gas bills. Â Yes, it’s been great to occasionally wear fewer layers when walking along the beach.

But, it’s January. Â And cold temperatures are the norm.

So why are property owners taken by surprise by winter? Â Why is their heat turned off…or outside faucets still on?

Hearing about damage from last week’s quick arctic blast. Â The combination of freezing temperatures and wind caused exposed pipes to freeze, crack, and then leak while thawing.

Comcast office in Avalon

By ann

At the end of January, the Comcast office in Avalon will close permanently.

Property owners (and real estate agents!) will miss the convenience of an in town location to swap out or pick up equipment.

The closest retail shop is now in Rio Grande (near the Shop Rite on Rio Grande Blvd/ Route 47).

For summer home owners, it may be easier to go on line to order equipment- especially if you are setting up seasonal service.
