This past week Stone Harbor unveiled its holiday beach tag,
designed by 3rd grader Paxton Smith. Like Avalon's tags, Stone
Harbor's tags will be for sale over the Thanksgiving weekend.
See below for details.
MARKET STATS: The median
sale price in Avalon was $2,380,000 during October 2025, while
Stone Harbor's median sale price was $3,298,500. Driving
the market: Buyer demand remains steady, while listing inventory
remains fairly tight. For a detailed look at the market

AVALON SAND
BACKPASSING: Avalon announced it is planning a sand
backpassing project if a hydraulic beach fill doesn't occur in
Spring 2026. Currently, hydraulic beach fills anticipated
in Avalon, Stone Harbor, and Ocean City are not federally
funded, and lack of federal funding will prevent state funding.
Avalon has previously used sand backpassing to supplement
beaches between hydraulic fills. Beaches from 10th to
14th Streets suffered serious erosion during fall storms, and
will need replenishment during the spring.
STONE HARBOR'S NEW HOLIDAY BEACH
TAG was designed by 3rd grader Paxton Smith. Stone
Harbor holiday beach tags will be available in limited supply
starting Friday, November 28, at the Beach Tag Office, located
at 95th Street and the Beach. The tags will be on sale all
weekend from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The tags will then be
available at Borough Hall, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM
to 4:00 PM, while supplies last.
AVALON HOLIDAY BEACH TAGS will
be available for purchase during both Festive Friday and
Snowfest Saturday at the Avalon Beach Tag Booth located at 30th
Street and the beach. The price is $35. Any remaining tags
will be sold starting Monday, December 1st, in the Avalon Tax
Collector's Office at Avalon Borough Hall between the hours of
8:15 am - 4:15 pm. Holiday beach tags make great stocking stuffers!

Need the perfect stocking stuffer? See below for info on
Avalon's Holiday Beach Tags!
WINTERIZE NOW, if
you haven't already. Our first taste of cold weather hit
earlier this week, and there's definitely a chill in the air.
All outside water systems should be winterized now, if they
haven't been already. Call your plumber, pool company, or
landscaper to have those systems shut off and drained. Need a
plumber or other service provider? Call or email me!
FOOD DRIVE: YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! " Here in Cape May County roughly 9% of the
permanent population relies on SNAP benefits," according to the
Cape May County Herald (11/11/2025). The Herald went on to
say that more than "20% of the county's population below the age
of 18 are recipients of SNAP benefits." The Cape May
County Association of Realtors is sponsoring a food drive to
help feed local families in need. Your donation helps provide
fresh meals and groceries to those who otherwise might go to bed
hungry, especially during an extended government shutdown.
There are three ways to help: 1) Donations can be dropped off at
the CMCAR office by November 25th, or 2) ordered online and
shipped right to the office: Cape May County Association of
Realtors, 1546 Route 9 North, Swainton, NJ 08210. Or, 3)
you can drop off your donations to our Avalon or Stone Harbor
office by November 18th, so we can deliver them to the CMCAR
office. Your support is appreciated!
AN ISLAND HOLIDAY LIKE NO OTHER!
For those of us lucky enough to be here,
Thanksgiving Weekend is a magical time on Seven Mile Island!
Avalon and Stone Harbor both celebrate the holiday season in a
big way. Avalon's Festive Friday and Snowfest Saturday
bring numerous family activities including visits with Santa and
Mrs. Claus, face painters, balloon artists, a tree lighting, and
more. Stone Harbor's Island Holiday offers many similar
activities including tree lighting, visits with Santa, a pet
parade, music, and a huge Christmas parade Saturday night
featuring floats, bands, fire trucks, boats, and more.
Come on down and enjoy the fun!
