Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update March 23rd, 2017




MARKET STATS:  February 2017 sales increased over February 2016, as did median sale prices.   47 properties were under contract—double the figure from last February.  For a detailed look at the latest Long & Foster Market Minute, click here:  http://marketminute.longandfoster.com/Market-Minute/NJ/Avalon-Stone-Harbor.pdf

Sales and prices have increased versus one year ago.  Click above for the latest Market Minute report.


TUGBOATS, A BARGE, AND THE DREDGE TEXAS can be seen in and around Townsend’s Inlet as beach replenishment work has moved to Avalon’s north end beaches.  According to the latest project report over 135,000 cubic yards of sand have been pumped onto Avalon’s beaches beginning at 9th Street.  In Stone Harbor, where pumping has concluded, beach access paths are now being reconstructed.  A third component of the pumping project will add sand to Avalon’s southernmost beaches beginning at 77th Street, running toward Stone Harbor’s 83rd Street beach.

THE OCEAN DRIVE MARATHON will take place Sunday, March 27th, with runners passing through Avalon & Stone Harbor twice.  The event will begin in Sea Isle City, with runners travelling southward through Avalon and Stone Harbor.  The new out-and-back style course has runners turning around near North Wildwood Boulevard, and travelling northward through Stone Harbor and Avalon, back to Sea Isle City.

A DOLPHIN found itself stuck on the beach in North Wildwood earlier this week, after swimming too close to shore.  When it became apparent the dolphin was unable to free itself, personnel from the US Coast Guard and the Marine Mammal Stranding Center assisted the dolphin by providing medical attention and then moving it to deeper water.

Last Friday an early morning fire destroyed two homes where Seagull Drive meets Pelican Drive.  Avalon fire fighters battled the blaze with help from Stone Harbor, Rio Grande, Marmora, Green Creek, Goshen, Cape May Court House, Ocean View, and Seaville fire companies.  The fire was brought under control at around 9am but crews remained on scene for several hours wetting down hot spots.  An occupant and her infant son escaped from the Seagull Drive home; the Pelican Drive home was unoccupied.  No one was injured.
