CHECK THIS FIRST LINK TO READ THE ORIGINAL BLOG POST ON FindAShoreHome.com  This blog post for September 10, 2011 was to a question posed to me the other day asking is this a good time to buy a shore property? Let’s start out with some background by saying I worked with my first real estate company in Atlantic City in the spring of 1985. During that time the market at The Jersey Shore was showing signs of topping out and starting to rollover. The Atlantic City real estate market was being fueled by the massive speculation of gambling and was still on a tear because casinos and investors were still buying the dream. Also in this time period new high rise condos were being brought to market by some out of the area real estate developers that were probably late to the party but were in no ... 09/11/2011

Ok ! I'm trying to populate some of the newer sites. I was wondering where that came from ? I started with three and now have 18. These aren't all of them, I have about the same amount that aren't real estate related more like community related. What do you think about multiple sites vs. multiple pages ?

After returning to Sea Isle City after the Irene storm on Sunday when Mayor Desiderio approved entrance back on to Sea Isle, I dropped off my personal belongings and set out to see how fared. To my surprise I found that we were very lucky. It was like the Twilight Zone as no one was around and it was warm and the sun was trying to come out. The beach in Townsends Inlet was in great shape and the beach patrol was bringing out their chairs and rowboats. Irene was good to us and she will not be missed.

By Ian Lazarus on December 6th, 2010 In Cape May County, demolished homes mean something bigger is on the way Category: In the News, Legal Issues, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Stone Harbor, Tags: Sea Isle City, teardown properties For years building lots were being built on and single houses were being torn down to build larger singles and townhomes. In the last year or so somewhat newer duplexes and twins are being torn down to make way for even larger stuctures in Sea Isle City and Avalon. New ordinances in Sea Isle City give landowners less restrictions for density if they build commercial/ retail on the first level. New trends and new ways to build a mousetrap are always evolving at the Jersey Shore. Read on. . .  Thanks, Ian By CAITLIN DINEEN Press of A.C. Staff | Mon December 6, 201... 12/06/2010

  The Townsends Inlet Bridge, which links Avalon to Sea Isle City, reopened Saturday at 3 p.m. The bridge was closed on October 8th as part of $4.8 million in work on two local bridges. The bridge, which is owned by the county, was repainted and its railings were replaced.  Hooray ! Now I can get to Avalon in 5 minutes instead of 20 minutes ! 11/14/2010

Not really but just as much ! Im spending my whole day at my sisters house in Toms River, NJ helping her fix her computer. I drove an hour last night to clean it up and find out this is going to be a project. I decided to stay over and do it in the morning. So far I have been working on this for two hours. Ouch !  " So how did this happen ? I asked, Well " I downloaded something from the USPS label maker. blah blah blah. Well this was the worst computer virus I ever saw. I have been spending the whole morning saving the all of family photos, etc . . . . .   Now I'm restoring the harddrive . . . . How much fun do you think this is ? Well I'm going to get a home cooked meal tonight for spending the day in T.R. ! Blood is thicker than water ! To be continued . . . . .   11/12/2010

  When I finished this project I didn't even write in the caption. The video speaks for it's self. The sunrise was filmed on the beach at 78th Street in Sea Isle City. The background music was by Stanton Lanier "Awaken the Dawn". If you like it please pass it on. Thanks, ~ Ian 11/01/2010

Consumers often focus on price and interest rate. Not wrong, but not always right either. "I'm going to wait for the market to hit bottom before I buy" is a common stance. Ok, so what if we have hit the bottom (let me know when we are there please), the economy improves also, and rates go back up from their current all-time lows? Here is a historic mortgage rate chart, fyi.  Paul Luykx, Mortgage Specialist" created some useful tables and a calculator to run your own scenarios. As you will see, If property values remain the same and rates increase by 1% you will be paying 8% more over a 10-year period, 17% more over a 30 year period" (at 95% LTV). Or conversely, you'd need to buy at as much as 15% lower price to "break even". Consider the cost of ownership, not just the purchase price! ... 10/25/2010
