Boomers and Beyond at the Beach ... in Delaware! |
|
Greetings!
This year is off to a great start! We have never been so busy in January in all the years we have been in Real Estate. What's more, our clients that are buying here have SOLD their homes elsewhere. Listen up CNBC and CNN, the market is improving quickly. I heard an interview with Barbara Corcoran, the real estate Guru, where she was asked how 2012 would be remembered in hindsight. She paused and thought for a moment. Then she said "It will be remembered for missed opportunities"! Hope all your opportunities are turning out exactly as you planned. Remember, where you see text highlighted in blue, click on it to find more information! Happy 2012! |

How to Use Property Search
|  Everyone with a web site just assumes that you will know how to use it. "Publish it and they will come!" But every site is different and I thought it might be helpful to introduce you to ActiveAdultsDelaware.com and all the ways you can use this site to find the house you are looking for. First, you can search all properties for sale in Sussex County, Delaware that are listed in the Multiple Listing Service. It doesn't matter with whom the home is listed; you do not need to go to Realtor.com or Trulia.com or Zillow.com - every listed property can be found right here. Resale homes as well as many of the model homes to-be-built in new home communities can all be found by searching right here. Look at the home page and notice right at the top it says Search Coastal Delaware Homes. |
FOR RENT! |  Furnished 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath Condo at Paynter's Mill. Conveniently located just north of Lewes, this community offers a pool and clubhouse, retail shops and a wonderful restaurant - The Kitchen. If you want to see what it's like to live in Coastal Delaware, this is a perfect location for you. Read More! We are getting more and more requests for both short and long term rentals and they are hard to come by. In this area, short term rentals are "beach rentals" and can be quite expensive. Otherwise, rentals typically require a one-year lease. Many communities do not allow a lease of less than one year.!

Delaware at a Glance

If you live in Delaware already, even if you grew up here, I bet you will find things in this list that you did not know. For example, did you know that Delaware has more doctoral-level scientists and engineers, as a percentage of the population, than any other State?
Delaware has 2,500 farms and the Lady Bug is the official state bug! More Interesting Facts about the First State - Read More! |

Prepare to get a Mortgage
|
 | Gail Alm |
Everyone keeps talking about how hard it is to get a mortgage with today's tighter lending standards. Many people actually disqualify themselves without even talking to a mortgage professional! But with both money and houses on sale, now is a really great time to buy. In fact, 8 of 10 homeowners would say now is a great time to buy a home.
So if you are thinking about moving up, moving down or just taking advantage of ridiculously low interest rates, here are some tips to help you present a stronger application.
