Sussex County Real Estate Matters – Affecting Seaford, Georgetown, Lauel, Milton, Delmar, Bridgevil
On a recent trip to Skyline Drive to view the changing of the leaves we also
had a chance to view some of the wild life that we very seldom ever see..
We usually see upwards of 100 or so deer and maybe get a glance of what we think
is a bear. But this year was the best year ever for seeing bears.. We saw 11 bears
this year and we were close enough to get some good pictures which I’ve included .
Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did taking the pictures.

If you have any questions about purchasing a home with a VA loan or if you already have one and are considering a refinance of it because of the low interest rates, reach out to your favorite mortgage professional and explore the possibilities. There has never been a better time!
Effective November 17, 2011, the costs associated with getting a VA mortgage are going DOWN!
An overview: VA mortgages are bundled, securitized and sold in the secondary market with the backing of the Federal Government. In order to insure these mortgages, the government charges a type of insurance premium, called a VA Funding Fee, which is typically added to the loan amount (thereby financed).

The nonprofit Lewes-Rehoboth Canal Improvement Association is waiting for the results of a feasibility study commissioned in the summer to determine how to best use the Lewes & Rehoboth Canal as a transportation link.
“It’s really an exciting concept,” said Scott Thomas, executive director of Southern Delaware Tourism.

With home sales in the gutter, anyone thinking of selling a home today can use all the help they can get, starting with what day of the week to debut.
With home sales in the gutter, anyone thinking of selling a home today can use all the help they can get, starting with what day of the week to debut.
Serious sellers know that it is important to make repairs, stage well, and showcase their home online with professional photos, but there isn’t a consensus about which day of the week you should list your home for the best results. This is evidenced by the fact that new listings on the market are spread pretty evenly between Monday and Friday, with each day getting between seventeen and nineteen percent of the total share of listings (Saturday and Sunday are much lower at five to seven percent).

HOUSE PRICES: WHERE THEY WILL BE THIS SPRING
Many sellers want to wait until the spring before putting their home on the market. This might be for any of several reasons:
HOUSE PRICES: WHERE THEY WILL BE THIS SPRING
Many sellers want to wait until the spring before putting their home on the market. This might be for any of several reasons:
In a normal real estate market, this may make sense. However, this market has been anything but normal. This spring will also see some abnormalities. The biggest difference will be the direction prices will take.

! I have been reading several
opinion pieces about the State of Delaware’s attempt to force Bloom deal down
our throats. In case you did not know
Delaware has changed the definition of renewable energy to included natural
gas. As geology minor, in college, I can
say with some authority that natural gas is a fossil fuel.
The problem is twofold. First the state a declared that 25% of our
electricity has to be from renewable sources in the near future. The second is jobs. Unfortunately, the powers
in Delaware decided to alter their own take on renewable.
Bloom makes a new type of electrical generation
equipment that is cutting edge TODAY, but is still powered by natural gas. Delaware wants to lure them to manufacture
here. That is OK, give them some
incentives. The deal that is shaping up is just dumb. Bloom wants a 20+ year contract with Delmarva
Power to supply electricity to them under the guise of renewable energy. This will help Delmarva Power meet their 25%
renewable requirement and allow Bloom to move and hire people in Delaware. HOW SWEET IT IS! It is just great except Delmarva Power
customers have to pay above market rates for this ”Renewable Energy”, for the
next 20+ years.
Stop this madness now.

I would like to again address the issue of “Too
Big to Fail”. The easiest solution I can
think of is to amend the Sherman Anti-trust Act. The amendment would be simple. “No corporation or other entity be allowed to
control more than 10% of any market sector, in vertical or horizontal
integration”.
Economies of scale be dammed. The more companies or entities in business
the less chance that one or two failures will bring down the economy is greatly
diminished.

To make it even more complicated, there is a flood of distressed properties (short sales/foreclosures) entering the market, and they are having a negative effect on property values, as they sell for a greatly discounted price.
When I go out on listing appointments, part of the process is determining a price at which the property will sell within a satisfactory time period. This part of the process is usually a very difficult one. Obviously, the sellers want to get the most money as possible. At the same time, the property needs to be priced in line with the competition. To make it even more complicated, there is a flood of distressed properties (short sales/foreclosures) entering the market, and they are having a negative effect on property values, as they sell for a greatly discounted price. Therefore, anyone needing to sell their home needs to do it NOW and price it in such a way that compels a buyer to buy it NOW!!!

Over the past few years, I have been approached with many questions about short sales and foreclosures. People are seeking to understand the difference between these two unfortunate scenarios. I have always explained that the short sale approach is far better than a foreclosure. I recently read an article that explains the difference very well (click the link below to read the article).
I have been involved in both types of transactions and have a lot of experience in working with both buyers and sellers in getting the sale to the table.
