Where to Retire Magazine
Top Ten - July 4th Weekend
The Mortgage Corner
Greetings!


So far, the Summer of 2012 has been FUNTASTIC! Bill and I were thrilled to be recognized at the Schell Brothers Annual REALTOR Luau. Why have so many of our clients chosen a home built by Schell Brothers? Their smiles are as big as ours and isn't that what it's all about?

This month we are starting a new column to introduce you to some of our clients that have relocated to Coastal Delaware. Someone I am now working with who is getting ready to retire asked me "What do people do when they retire, especially in the off-season?" Rather than write a long article about what I think, I decided to ask recent retirees, clients of ours that have made a new life for themselves in retirement here in Coastal Delaware. I think you'll enjoy meeting them.

Look for the September issue of Where to Retire Magazine with a feature on Lewes/Rehoboth Beach and all of Coastal Delaware. They asked us a lot about Delaware taxes and the things that make living here so attractive.

Happy 4th of July! Since it falls on a Wednesday, we expect a double holiday weekend here at the Beach in Delaware! Enjoy.

Don't miss this month's Coupon from TELLER WINES - my favorite place to buy wine and beer. Every Saturday there is a FREE Wine Tasting from 3 - 6 pm and many of you have been there with me.

Meet Jean McMillan Bowers 

I first met Jean in 2008 when she and her husband Mike were preparing to retire and relocate to Coastal Delaware. We found them a wonderful home in Milton, Delaware and how the time has flown since then.
Now Jean is a member of the
the Worcester County Council for the Arts, and
Delaware By Hand. Jean exhibits her work regularly. Her painting of the Blue Ridge Mountains was on exhibit at the Biggs Museum of American Art.

Where to Retire Magazine?
This past month I got a call from Where to Retire Magazine. They are doing a Feature Article on the Lewes/Rehoboth area for the September/October issue and they asked lots of questions - the same questions you might ask. They talked with recent retirees that are now living in one of our Active Adult communities. Look for the article and tell your friends!
Then they asked me to provide some statistics on Taxes in Delaware and on the Median Sales Activity since the beginning of the year. Want a glimpse?

Why Refinance Back into a 30-Year Loan?

 

One of the biggest reasons homeowners refinance their mortgage is to obtain a lower interest rate and lower monthly payments. By refinancing, the borrower pays off their existing mortgage and replaces it with a new one. This can often be accomplished with a no-points no-fees loan program, which essentially means at "no cost" to the borrower.

Ten thousand people per day are turning 65. Boomers are just beginning to retire, and Coastal Delaware is the sweet spot in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic Region. Active Adults Realty is totally focused on providing real estate services to Baby Boomers.

 

Sincerely,
