Golf Home Communities!
Peninsula-Fairway

I love it when Delaware gets the attention it deserves. We are a small State but we have some mighty fine golf courses. Recently, Larry Gavrich, Editor of Golf Community Reviews, discovered Coastal Delaware. He spent time here this summer and fall and played several of our championship golf courses. Read his reviews.

Waterfront Communities!

It can be a challenge searching for waterfront properties on the Internet. First the home for sale has to be listed for sale in the local MLS and the listing agent can be limited by the categories and fields available. For example, if you are searching for a lake front property, the category is called Lake/Pond and you will find everything from an estate on a real lake to a new home on a man-made stormwater retention pond.

Search for Waterfront properties

The only way to differentiate is with a manual search and lots of local knowledge. Where do you find that? Your Buyer Agent

 

LAST CHANCE -
Select Builders at Bayfront at Rehoboth

Yesterday we joined clients on the walk-through of their new home at Bayfront at Rehoboth. Built by Select Builders, a top quality local builder, the Easton II is a beautiful home. Settlement is next week and they will be moving into their new home in time to celebrate Christmas with a view of Rehoboth Bay.

 

As we said in our last Update, Schell Brothers will be taking over in 2013 and prices are going up. Between now and the end of the year is your last chance to contract for a home built by Select Builders starting at $270,500 for the Arrington on Lot #24. Look at the choice of Select models and floorplans, but only if you can go to contract between now and December 31st.

Select will be building homes elsewhere in Coastal Delaware, but there are few locations as beautiful as Bayfront at Rehoboth. 
With the housing recovery and price increases, this is a great opportunity if you are in a position to act quickly.
 
We are not going anywhere over the Christmas holiday, so if this opportunity is of interest to you, please let Kathy or Bill know. Could be the perfect Christmas gift!

According to a resident of Heritage Shores, Wawa is planning to add a location with Gas Pumps at the intersection of Rt. 13 and 404, just north of Heritage Shores. If approved, they will be adding 40 jobs to the town.

Existing home sales

Sales of existing homes at Heritage Shores were brisk again this fall but there are still a few very attractive homes for sale. Check the Heritage Shores page to see what's new on a regular basis:

Featured Article
Thinking back on 2012, the first full year of Active Adults Realty, I want to thank so many people for a great year. In a real estate market that was so tough for a few years, 2012 was a year of Recovery and Opportunity. Some of our clients were "in the right place at the right time" and when they look back, they will smile.

Pat and Elizabeth - that spec home at Nassau Grove


Lorraine and Dave - a Select home at Bayfront at Rehoboth

Mary and Richard - that great condo at Cedar Bay

and those are just a few. When prices begin to rise in 2013 to more accurately reflect the higher cost of materials and the improvement in the local real estate market, everyone who bought in 2012 will be smiling and loving life in Coastal Delaware.
