Covid-19 in Avalon/Stone Harbor...what's happening...

-
While our Country is soaring with the virus, Avalon and Stone Harbor seem to be dealing pretty well with it. I might start by saying that locals and visitors take mask wearing seriously. You cannot get into a store or restaurant without a mask. People even walk the boardwalk in Avalon with a mask even though no one may be around them. So it is not surprising then that since February/March of 2019, (11 months) Avalon has had only 70 cases of Covid 19 with 3 active as of January 23rd and Stone Harbor a total of 33 with 1 active presently. Overall Cape May County has had a total of 5554 cases with most of the cases in Lower, Middle and Upper Township. Initially the County only had Avalon Community Hall giving the Covid-19 shots but 3 more centers have been opened up: the Dept of Health in Crest Haven, Shop Rite stores in Rio Grande and Marmora. You will need to call for an appt. There are no walk-ins. Stay Safe! Mriam Kauterman, 609-602-8470 cell

Avalon/Stone Harbor Real Estate Activity for the Week of 2/2 to 2/9. Congrats to Eagles for winning the Superbowl!   Now down to Business...  Seven Mile Island did pretty well again! Avalon put 5 Residential Homes Under Contract along with 2 Condo's while Stone Harbor had 3 homes and 1 Condo go Under Contract.  Real Estate dollars totaled over $18 Million.  This week there were 3 settlements... 2 in Avalon and 1 in Stone Harbor totaling close to $3.4 Million. The GOOD NEWS is that there were 13 homes and 7 condo's listed for Sale this week.  Our Inventory on the Island has been dwindling which forces prices up.  Here is a quick run down of Just Listed properties for Sale: Avalon 162 34th Street - $2,295,000         316 60th Street - $4.5 M          3107 Avalon Ave - $3.795M 5878 Ocean Drive - $6.875 M       ...

Beach Tags

For years we always bought our beach tags at 30th Street prior to Memorial Day in order to get a discount. Some of our tenants would buy them from a beach checker if they were only here for a week. A seasonal beach tag is $25 prior to June 1st and $30 thereafter. If one of your friends comes to visit, it is $6/a day or $13/ for the week. You can also purchase them on line at www.viplypass.com/avalon-beach-tags/. However you have to have the Viplypass App. The company will send you a receipt and you can pick them up at the Beach Tag Booth at Avalon Community Hall (30th & Avalon Ave) or at the Avalon Tax Collector’s Office. The Beach Tag Booth is now open on weekends, 10 to 4 pm and starting May 1st…everyday. If you are an Active Military Member or a Veteran, you can obtain a FREE Beach Tag. You will need appropriate Documentation…. DD-214 or a Veterans Card. 609-967-7587 is the Avalon Booth tags Number. Hope this helps! I intend on getting my beach tags this coming weekend. Maybe I’...

TIME FOR DUNE GRASS PLANTING! Those of us who live or have homes on the Island, know the value of this project. The rhizomes anchor the sand and grow horizontally, thus producing new shoots and roots systems for new plants. Volunteers are needed. If you decide to participate, call Sue Keen, Mayor Pagliughi’s Secretary – 609-967-5924 After planting, a box lunch will be provided. Raindate is Sunday, the 18th of April. Bring your children and grandchildren! Looking forward to seeing all the early risers there! Miriam
