Sussex County remains strongest in the DE home sales market     

Delaware Business Daily's Doug Rainey posted that Sussex County remains strongest in the DE home sales market ahead of Kent and New Castle counties in Delaware. Figures from multiple listing agencies showed a mixed performance in the home sale market in the first three months of this year. This is good news for Coastal Delaware where sales of both new and existing homes have been very strong this year. Delaware doesn't get much coverage on the national news and the strong market in Sussex County never makes the headlines on CNBC. To read the rest of the article on our blog, Click Here.

Rina Rapuano posted an article on 
 Zagat.com titled, "8 Hottest Restaurants in Rehoboth Beach" with help from Cape Gazette food writer, Bob Yesbek, a.k.a. Rehoboth Foodie. On the Rehoboth Beach dining scene she said, "It's family-friendly, LGBT-friendly, romantic and increasingly a place where sophisticated palates can find equally sophisticated dining options." Rapuano goes on to say, "We reached out to The Rehoboth Foodie to make sure we were on the right path and to assist with some of the inside tips." To read the "Must Haves," "Why It's Hot," and an "Insider Tip," at a(MUSE.), Bramble & Brine, Cultured Pearl, Eden, Henlopen City Oyster House, Nage, Salt Air and Touch of Italy Click Here.
