Real Estate at the Jersey Shore

Joe Prato — Wed, 14 May 2008 16:41:04 +0000

It has been a tough few years for real estate at the Jersey Shore, but this year so far, we have seen a slight increase in sales in Sea Isle City. Due to the economy and the unstable stock market, and CD’s that are barely paying 2.5%, many investors have come back to buying at the Jersey Shore. The interest rates are great, and the prices have come down to where people can afford them once again. If you are not sure where to invest your money, try looking in Sea Isle City and not only have a sound investment, but one you will enjoy time and time again. Call Joe Prato at 609-602-5147 for more details.

Memorial Day 2008

Joe Prato — Wed, 14 May 2008 16:37:30 +0000

As Memorial Day nears, the summer season is almost upon us. Sea Isle City will go from a quiet, beach town, to a thriving resort destination with sun worshipers coming from everywhere. All of the local restaurants and bars will be back in full action and this city by the ocean will be lined with people from all aspects. If you are planning on coming down to the Jersey Shore this summer, make plans to stay in Sea Isle City. For weekly rentals, call Joe Prato at 609-602-5147 or if you want to stay just a few days, contact the Colonnade Inn at 609-263-8868.

The Village of South Walton on the Florida Panhandle

info — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:35:58 +0000

While I live and do Real Estate in Sea Isle City, every once in a while I discover a great place to travel that I like to mention on my blog. If you’ve ever traveled to Florida, you may not know about the Panhandle and northern Gulf Coast region, as it’s not nearly as popular as Orlando, Miami or the Ft. Lauderdale area.

Just recently I took a trip to the Village of South Walton and absolutely fell in love with it. In fact, it’s completely different than the rest of Florida, and in good ways. For example, on the northern Gulf Coast of Florida you will find significantly less humidity and the temperatures aren’t nearly as stifling as the lower portions of Florida.

Also, the sands are white, the oceans calm and crystal clear blue, and it still retains the feeling of untouched paradise. If you’re looking for a different sort of vacation in Florida, I can’t recommend this area highly enough.

2008 Sea Isle Rentals: Up, Up, and Away!!!

Joe Prato — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 13:59:35 +0000

It is March 10th, 2008 and the Sea Isle City rentals have taken off this year. A few reasons are that we had very mild weather in January, and the Eagles did not make the playoffs this year. Both are factors why rentals in Sea Isle are up over 20% from last year. Another is the price of gas. With gas prices soaring to over 65 cents per gallon more than last year, many want to stay close to home to vacation. And no better place than Sea Isle City.

So if you are planning a trip to Sea Isle this year, don’t wait too long to make your reservations or the choices may not be as good as you would want.
