Fall is Beach 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!

Is it time to turn a vacation into a staycation?

Welcome to summer at the beach! If you enjoy vacationing in Rehoboth and surrounding Delaware beaches, you already know that there’s a lot to love. We have a thriving restaurant and bar scene, laid-back beaches, great outdoor recreation on the ocean, bay, and state parks, renowned local breweries, and so much more. And you are definitely not alone: we’re known as “The Nation’s Summer Capital” for a reason! If you drive across the bridge often, you know that “in-season” is getting longer, too. Many restaurants and businesses are year-round now, and the weather is truly great from spring through early winter.

 

So why are you still renting?

You might be surprised to find out that buying a beach house is within reach. If you are curious about whether or not a purchase vs. a vacation rental, year after year, is a good investment for you, get in touch with a local realtor – like one of The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group’s six buyer agents – who will help you explore your beach home options.

 

Delaware Details:  

Delaware is unique for many reasons, and real estate is no exception. We know, everyone likes to think they’re special, but Delaware is every bit the ‘small wonder’ we claim to be! You probably know we have no sales tax, but you may not know our secret, #1 attraction is extremely low property taxes. And if you are considering retirement, either now or much farther down the road, an investment property in Delaware could be beneficial as Delaware offers extra perks for retirees in terms of taxes, too.

Working with an agent who is an expert in the area is the best way to narrow your search and help you with the nuances of local real estate. We can help answer questions like:

  • Is now a good time to buy?
    • It may seem like any realtor would answer this question with “yes,” but in fact, it’s a great time to buy! Inventory is relatively low, especially in-town in Rehoboth Beach and Lewes, which is evident by how many recent desirable (well-located, well-priced) properties have gone under contract in the first week of being listed. As reference, our team sold more property than any other previous year last year (over 300 units) and it’s been an extremely brisk spring. This news is great for sellers; however, prices are slightly increasing. The main takeaway: if you are serious about a property, don’t delay.  
  • Where does my money go farthest in real estate?
    • Another great asset at the Delaware Beaches is the dramatic range of prices and locations where you can live - yet remain a short bike or car ride to the beach towns. Living “east of Route 1” is a major price differentiator as you can avoid peak traffic by not crossing Route 1. It comes down to your priorities. Living in-town Rehoboth Beach in the heart of the action carries a higher price tag than living in-town Historic Lewes or Milton. A 10-minute drive can buy you a larger home and yard in a community with amenities – even acreage in the country with even lower taxes. So many options! Your realtor can show you around to those hidden gems.

  

  • Where should I start with new construction or a land purchase?
    • Even in new communities with a sales center, it’s a great idea to bring a realtor who will represent your interests (at no cost to you because they are paid by the seller). If you haven’t found the home that suits your taste, there are plenty of lot options, and your realtor can help you find a builder that you’ll love.

Whether you are ready to join us full-time or not, we hope you have a fantastic Summer 2017! If you have any questions about our local real estate, please call or email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
