Ocean Grove N.J.

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit Ocean Grove N.J. over the weekend. We had never been to the coast in Central or Northern N.J. and we were pleasantly surprised. This small town takes you back to the turn of the 20th Century with its victorian houses, and quaint shops and cafe’s.
We stayed at the Majestic Hotel, that is located just a few short steps to the beach, and has a great ocean view. The hotel, (although it was more like a bed & breakfast), was wonderful and our host, Valerie took care of all of our needs. Being we were not that familiar with the area, we were sent to great eating spots, local areas of interest, and we had a fantastic weekend.
I will be writing a more detailed article on Ocean Grove and our weekend on www.jerseyshoreguide.net, in the begining of 2007. If you have a weekend or even a day to get to Ocean Grove, you should. You’ll be glad you went.

Vineland, Millville, Bridgeton Top NJ Real Estate Market Forecast

info — Thu, 18 May 2006 15:49:03 +0000

According to CNNMoney, one of the best locations for real estate growth through 2007 turns out to be South Jersey’s Vineland/Millville/Bridgeton region which they foresee as having an 8.5% price growth. One of the reasons for this regions growth is its location. Because it is located about halfway between Philadelphia and the South Jersey Shore points (Atlantic City, Cape May County, etc.), many professionals are choosing to have the best of both worlds: a job in Philly and a short drive down to the shore.

Real Estate in Sea Isle City: Boom or Bust

Joe Prato — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 01:51:58 +0000

I’ve sold real estate in Sea Isle City for the past ten years and everyone is now questioning if Sea Isle, along with every other city, is in a “Boom” or “Bust” in terms of Real Estate? The media is creating the “Bust” mode by all the attention it is giving it. This morning on “Good Morning America”, Diane Sawyer was doing a segment on “The tricks of the trade” when it comes to Real Estate Agents, and at the very beginning, she mentioned that Housing Sales across the nation has been the highest ever the past few months. She immediately went into the segment and had nothing else to say about this very strong fact.

Had the housing sales been low or the lowest in the past few months, I can say without hesitation, that this would make the headlines and have several segments about it.The media creates the situations that happen because of their sensationalizing a topic. The media knows this will get the attention of their viewers and therefore get sponsors and advertisement.

Sea Isle City has a lot of properties for sale, and I believe the reason is because people panic over what they hear from the media. Many owners of properties that would have normally not been ready to sell are now putting their properties on the market because the media states that the bubble has busted and the real estate market is in for a bad time. Had the owners not heard this, the market would not be flooded with inventory.

On the flip side, the potential buyers are listening to the media and either deciding that it is not a good time to buy a property, or that there are bargains to be had and coming in with ridiculously low offers on properties. Either scenario results in properties not being sold and inventory being high.

I compare this situation to many years ago when the media told their viewers that there was going to be a shortage on toilet paper, so everyone went out and stocked up on toilet paper, which created a shortage. The media has a lot of power in influencing their viewers.

In conclusion, I feel that the market in Sea Isle City is still strong, and once the buyers and sellers realize that property values are not going to “Bust” down at the Jersey Shore, buyers will once again start to purchase their “Dream Beach House”, and both buyers and sellers will be happy with their real estate investments. Everyone wants to own a part of the Jersey Shore!!!

Sea Isle City Wireless Internet

Here’s a press release about the new wireless internet business in Sea Isle City that just started up this year:

Sea Isle City beachgoers rejoice! Gone are the days of spending a week at the beach without high-speed broadband internet service. Now you can check your email and browse the web without the inconvenience of a slow dial up internet connection.

SeaWaves was born out of real world needs: many people are not able to sacrifice an entire week of high-speed data communications. Business people vacationing at the beach need regular communication with their co-workers and customers. But up until now, a trip to Sea Isle City effectively meant a compromise: no high broadband internet in exchange for a vacation. But now you can have both!

SeaWaves technology, a leader in South Jersey internet and computer technology, has launched a new wireless internet service in various locations throughout Sea Isle City. All you need is a wireless enabled device such as a laptop or PDA and you’re all set to hook up…wirelessly!

SeaWaves employs Sputnik’s state of the art wireless internet technology to securely provide service to all WiFi enabled devices within range. Sputnik’s architecture will enable SeaWaves to grow its network transparently as demand increases.

Due to limitations in wireless technology, not all areas in Sea Isle can receive service.

SeaWaves Technology was formed in January of 2006 as a complete computer technology company. In addition to wireless internet service, SeaWaves Technology provides custom web development, web hosting, web promotion, and a variety of other computer and internet related services.
