The Junction & Breakwater Trail delivers idyllic fall feels. Changing seasons, changing leaves, and a path scenic enough to get you thinking about your own path!

Hopefully you enjoyed time outside and stayed healthy during our most unpredictable summer ever. After a spring of quarantine, we were not exactly sure what to expect in the real estate world. I certainly never anticipated a summer like this one - and the dramatic increase in demand for beach real estate. In the wake of uncertainty, we saw our busiest summer ever, and we are still riding the wave of demand. I want to share the overall market trends to keep you updated.

So, what’s Trending?

Past Sales

The economic ‘Law of Supply and Demand’ is proven true, once again! Lewes and Delaware Beach communities are in overall high demand:

According to our in-house Gallo Realty analysis (based on the Bright Multiple Listing Service) as of the end of September, Sussex County saw a total of 1,011 homes on the market, a decrease of 11% from August. This puts inventory at slightly less than a 3-month's supply (quite low!) with 383 homes sold per month in 2020.

Sales of single-family homes are up 15% from last year, with 3,451 homes sold compared to 3,009 (for the first nine months of 2019). The largest increase is the Lewes/Rehoboth/Dewey area, up 33%, and the Georgetown area, up 28%.

And with this increase in sales and lower supply/higher demand, we are also seeing an increase in price. The average sales price of single-family homes in Sussex County is up over the first 9-month period of last year - $450,103 - compared to $408,181, a 10% increase. Pending sales in this time period are up 25% compared to last year, with 3,808 homes going under contract through September of 2020, compared to 3,048 in 2019. Also, average “days on market” figures have decreased by 8% over last year, from 104 days as of September 2019 to an average of 96 days on market in September 2020.

Multiple Offers

With this high-demand market, I have been involved in more multiple-offer situations this year than my other 36 years in the business combined. We had 9 offers on one listing this summer after being on the market three days! When two (or more) buyers are competing for the same house, invariably someone will be disappointed. Our goal is to help mitigate these situations for our clients, and try to make the resolution as easy as possible for all.

To do so, we recommend that every offer be as “clean” as possible with the fewest contingencies and the best/highest priced offer initially. Unfortunately, multiple offer scenarios offer little to no room for negotiation, so we help our buyers put their best feet forward from the start.

Some agents will recommend including an ‘escalation clause,’ which, as it sounds, essentially ups the buyer’s bid upon each counter offer up to a capped amount. This strategy is not without some drawbacks, so it is important to discuss your particular situation with your realtor.

Another idea in this competitive market is for buyers to appeal to sellers personally, in a letter with the contract, and describe what makes the house a perfect fit for them. I have had several clients write these letters recently, and it was a moving reminder that the ‘business’ of buying and selling a property is often the most personal purchase one can make - choosing a home.

Present Movement

A common question I’ve been getting these days is, “Where are all of the people coming from?” National news articles have speculated that people are moving out of cities in record numbers, especially after a spring of confinement in apartment buildings or in more densely populated areas with less room to roam. Anecdotally, we have seen quite a few new clients from cities, as well as people from suburban areas that realize they can work from anywhere. Why not make it the beach?

But not all of our buyers are entirely new to the area. We have worked with many local Lewes neighbors who are looking for larger homes (maybe after spending so much ‘quality time’ with family?!), and homes with home offices and areas for everyone to be at home, together.

Future Goals

As all of us likely spent more time at home last year than ever before, and we continue to do so, the need for our homes to be true havens has become even more clear. If you have been considering selling your home, upsizing to a larger house, or downsizing to simplify, the past six months have definitely been a catalyst for change.

We would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your real estate questions. Most of all, we wish you a safe and healthy holiday season!

Each year, Rehoboth’s “Nation’s Summer Capital” nickname becomes increasingly fitting. Even and in some ways especially in fall, the beach is a relaxing, easy escape from the city. This year is no exception - even in the wake of Covid-19 - and even with the cancellations of some of our most popular fall events. Not surprisingly, for the greater good, events including Sea Witch, are off until 2021. (There's still a Mini Jazz Fest 10/15-18). While large-scale events are cancelled, the merchant sidewalk sales are still on in Rehoboth Beach and downtown Lewes for the first weekend of October.

These postponements have dealt a devastating blow to Coastal Delaware’s local economy. If you can still plan a getaway, our local restaurants are open, many with outdoor and socially distant seating. Local businesses continue to observe “Covid courtesies” (and our local rates of infection are staying low, with no current hospitalizations, according to Beebe Medical Center this week). Unlike some hotter summer nights, crisp fall evenings are perfect for dining safely, al fresco, by a fire pit.

Of course, the beach itself and miles of bike trails are open to enjoy! Fall is the ideal time of year to bike, hike, kayak, paddle board on the bay, and sample local craft beer along the way. Farmer’s markets are still on and going strong in Rehoboth Beach on Tuesdays and in Lewes on Wednesdays at The Crooked Hammock and in-town on Saturdays. Get your seasonal pumpkins here in Sussex County!

While we love to take a ‘Chamber of Commerce’ role and entice visitors to the beaches, our real area of expertise is real estate sales. To give you an idea of our primary market: as of the end of August, the number of single family homes sold was up nearly 26% over last year at this time. Moreover, the average sales price is up by 7%, and the median sales price is up by 12%.

While sales are up, available inventory on the market continues to decrease and is extremely low right now (by 11% over the previous month's end total for the last two months). 

If you already own property at the beach, now is truly an unbelievable time to sell your home. Well-priced, well-located homes in Rehoboth and Lewes are selling extremely quickly and some with multiple offers. If you have been on the fence about buying, now is a great time for you, too, considering still-low interest rates and Delaware’s famously low property taxes. 

This draw, along with the effects of a quarantine last spring, have definitely contributed to our busy market conditions. All of us have been charged to stay home more, and many of us have discovered that we can work from home/remotely relatively easily. This realization is another reason to consider where “home” really is. If you feel that it could be the beach, reach out to any of our local real estate professionals. We are more than happy to help you weigh your options.

At the very least, plan a visit this fall and enjoy a breath of fresh sea air!

We can feel it: we're on the cusp of a busy summer in real estate. As new listings increase, and buyers plan trips for summer, we are getting a sense that our market is not slowing down.

At the same time, at The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, we don't take anything for granted. We continue to showcase our listings in the best light for sellers, and we get to know buyers to match them with homes that exceed their beach home aspirations.

One of the key ways we stay in touch with market pricing especially is by tracking sales data and trends, which we publish annually in our Rehoboth Beach Year-End Statistical Newsletter (this is the latest for Rehoboth) and Lewes Statistical Newsletter (the latest for Lewes). 

Our parent company, BHHS Gallo Realty, publishes a monthly version, too: Real Estate Market Watch.

Lots of data for those of you who enjoy data-driven decisions. 

Enjoy!
