Avalon Market History
Soaring Real Estate Market at the Shore

 
  
An article published in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday, June 15, talked about the soaring Real Estate Market at the shore.  We gathered some of the excerpts that may be of interest to you.

"Things are heating up at the Shore...We're talking real estate.  The fastest growing, highest-priced housing market around here is by the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea."

"Demand continues to grow, but there's only so much land, especially beachfront, so the values go up, up, up..."

"Cape May County showed the biggest gain in median home price ~ 77% adjusted for inflation from last year."

"Unlike real estate markets in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, the Shore housing market has two strong components: buyers looking for primary residences and those purchasing second homes for vacation or investment."

"You have the baby boomers and retirees wanting to move here because of the quality of life.  That all adds up to incredible demand right now." *Source: Philadelphia Inquirer 6/15/04
