A Hazy Shade of Winter (Speechless Sunday) - 02/26/12 12:53 PM
A Hazy Shade of Winter (Speechless Sunday) Actually, it’s a sign of spring here in southern Ocean County, where the NJ Pinelands meet the Jersey Shore. The NJ Forest Fire Service is conducting controlled burns along Route 539, west of the Parkway in Little Egg Harbor. The NJ Forest Fire Service sets the small fires to clear underbrush which could intensify wildfires. New Jersey's spring wildfire season starts in March. The sky was Jersey Shore blue today, but not so on Route 539 in the Pinelands!

All Housing Market Trend Reports Are Not Equal! - 02/26/12 03:38 AM
All Housing Market Trend Reports Are Not Equal! The Jersey Shore means many places to many people. It could be a family vacation home on Long Beach Island or a bungalow in Ocean Gate. Ask anyone who lives here, they won’t tell you I’m from north or south Jersey. They’ll tell you they live ‘down the shore’. This presents a problem when examining housing market trends in New Jersey. Ocean County (my part of the Jersey Shore) is poorly represented in the data. The National Association of Realtors (NAR®) uses local market trend reports, but how accurate are they? Well consider NAR® reports only

Bulb Confusion! (Friday Fotos) - 02/24/12 08:09 AM
We’re having a heat wave here at the Jersey Shore. Temperatures have been in the high 50’s and 60’s. It’s quite a difference from the winter of 2011 when our shovels and snow blowers were getting a real workout. Unseasonably warm weather is welcome at the Jersey Shore…but it’s wreaking havoc in my garden. My Jersey Shore garden is suffering bulb confusion! Looks more like April! Take advantage of the snow free roads at the Jersey Shore. Get your vacation home shopping started early. Contact Little Egg Harbor REALTOR® Laura Giannotta at 609-384-6121. Let's find your new home!

Homes With A Basement in Ocean Acres...Can You Live Without It? - 02/13/12 07:01 AM
A Basement in Your Ocean Acres Home...Can You Live With Out It? Three bedroom 2 bath single family homes in Manahawkin's Ocean Acres are listed anywhere between $150,000 and $299,000. There are 28 homes listed for sale in this section of Stafford Township within that range, only 8 have basements.

The Power of Blogging is Ongoing or Are Tax Appeals That Interesting? - 02/09/12 06:07 AM
The Power of Blogging is Ongoing or Are Tax Appeals That Interesting! I wrote a blog last year about property tax assessment appeals in Little Egg Harbor and New Jersey. I explained that the NJ state regulations for the tax appeal process apply statewide, not only in my corner of Little Egg Harbor at the Jersey Shore. Last year, I got calls from several home owners, and all were successful in the Little Egg Harbor tax appeals. Well guess what, good things multiply!. I've already completed one Jersey Shore tax assessment appeal market analysis in 2012, and I'm working on 6

‘Green Labels’ Confuse Me! - 02/05/12 06:25 AM
‘Green Labels’ Confuse Me! You’ve decided a painting project will help you get through the dreary days of winter. Simple right? Not if you’re trying to be environmentally responsible. Interior paints are not all environmentally equal. There are five ‘green designations’ for paint…and they don’t all test for the same things! Greenguard: Measures VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) levels, and only allows trace amounts. Manufacturers measure the paint during drying and pay $3000 or more to Greenguard for testing and logo use. Green Seal: Measures VOC’s, some hazardous and rates

Atlantic City’s Steel Pier Regresses (One Woman’s Opinion) The new owners of Atlantic City’s Steel Pier plan to resurrect the diving horse act much like the original attraction made famous in the 1920’s. The plan was announced this week, when the Casino Redevelopment Authority approved its contribution to the first phase of the Steel Pier improvement project.
