DO YOU SAY SHOREFRONT PROPERTY OR OCEANFRONT PROPERTY IN DELAWARE?

To me, Oceanfront Property Delaware, or Oceanview Property Delaware means “the beach”. However….

Tommy Cooper

Recently working with our FABULOUS webmaster, Kit Creighton of IWEBBIT, on adding additional domain names to our cooperealty.com and team-cooper.com websites, I learned who provincial terms can be.  To me, Oceanfront Property Delaware, or Oceanview Property Delaware means “the beach”.  However, if you’re from New Jersey or Pennsylvania, this means Shore front or Shore view, as the beach to them is catagorized as “the Shore”. 

Another example- Lakefront Property Delaware, to them would be Pond front Property Delaware to us.  In either case, Ocean vs. Shore or Lake vs. Pond, come see us.  Tax free Delaware is a great lifestyle.

Bridgeville, Delaware Realtor visits Mt. Vernon.

Over the weekend, I spent a day at Mt. Vernon, home of our First President George Washington. One of the great things about living in Sussex County, Delaware is our location to many metropolitan cities, such as Washington DC., Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Norfolk Va. Just about 2 hours away from my home in Bridgeville, Delaware is Mt. Vernon, 5 miles southwest of Alexandria,Va where a family and /or friends could spend a day exploring the rich history of how George amd Martha Washington lived on their 8,000 acre Plantation. This grand historic property is fully active with the orginal buildings, wide open meadows, pastures, gardens and a gorgeous view overlooking the Potomac River that will take your breath away. I am so glad I took the time to visit, discover and see an important part of our great American History.

The joys of living in Bridgeville, Delaware….Meet Woody Hunsberger.

For a guy who was born and raised in the City of Philadelphia, I guess I never realized how wonderful life could be until we moved to lower slower Delaware in 1974. After living in the big city with all of its commotion, I really appreciate the peace and quiet of living in Bridgeville, Delaware in rural Sussex County. Bridgeville is located just north of Cooper Realty’s office in Seaford, Delaware, so I am close to work. My wife and I have a very modest home with no more worries about the costs of water and sewer, high taxes, city pollution, endless traffic jams, crowds of people. Each morning I am blessed to be able to look to the wide open spaces to the east, watch the sunrise, and say “thank you Lord for allowing me to live here”. Author ~Woody Hunsberger

In Bowers Beach, Delaware be careful where you park your Harley…..

The other day, 13 other motorcycle riders and I left Seaford, Delaware and headed north. Only the leader knew where we were going, but I knew we were going to eat somewhere.

We ended up in Bowers Beach, Delaware. I’ve never been there before. We pulled up in the parking lot of “ JP’s Wharf Restaurant & Bar “ Looked like a real nice place.

The next thing we heard is some lady telling us to move the bikes to another parking lot on the other side of the white line. We didn’t know what to think, so we did it.

We all piled into to the restaurant and asked why we had to move the bikes and the waitress said the parking lot would be full of water in a little while. That was a first for us. By the time we ate and were getting ready to leave the parking lot was full of the Delaware Bay!! High tide and a northeast wind had pushed a lot of water out of the canal. The water was just about up to the white line in the parking lot. Luckily, one of the girls from the restaurant gave us a ride to our bikes in the back of her pickup so we didn’t have to wade through the water..

PJ’s was a good place to eat and the service was excellent and the ride through the water was free. The only thing I can say is I don’t know if you need to make a reservation to eat, but you might want to check the tide chart so you know if you need to park on the other side of the white line.

Seaford, Delaware biker shares experience of a recent Harley ride

Just this past Sunday, I was trying to think of someplace to ride my Harley. So I decided to just start riding, I ended up at the Indian River Inlet Marina near Dewey Beach, Delaware. I hadn’t been there for awhile, and I was impressed with the work being done on the new bridge. I stopped at the marina deli/restaurant got something to drink and a 1/2 pound of steamed shrimp and looked at the boats. It was a very relaxing day!

So if your looking for someplace in Delaware to ride, consider the Indian River Inlet Marina.

A humbling experience….

Our National Cemetery

About 2 weeks ago, Me and a friend spent the day in our Nations Capital.
One of the most humbling experiences was watching the Changing of the
guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Every 1/2 hour during the
summer months, this spectacle takes place at the tomb that over looks
our nations capital high on the hill at the cemetery. The precision,
honor for our fallen Heroes and the pageantry is something I will never
forget. As the commander walks into the area where the the current
guard is watching over the tomb, I paused to pay my respects for all of
our men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our beloved
United States of America!

Can you afford to wait???

 

THE PERFECT STORM IN REAL ESTATE!!

Buy now or you might regret it later……Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions an individual can make.  So, it’s understandable that one considering a home purchase may take their time to avoid rushing into such a large financial commitment.  However, several factors might leave prospective home buyers who don’t purchase a property now wishing they had taken action sooner.

“Current market conditions have created A PERFECT STORM of sorts that has made it an ideal time to purchase for first-time and trade-up buyers alike,” said James M. Weichert, president and founder of Weichert, Realtors.  “Those who have the means and the desire to buy now but don’t, aren’t likely to see such a great opportunity again anytime soon.”

LOCK IN ON THE HISTORICALLY LOW INTEREST RATES

Thanks to measures taken by the Federal Reserve including the purchasing of mortgage-backed securities, interest rates have remained historically low for several years.  With the economy beginning to show signs of recovery, it is widely believed that the government will soon put an end to these stimulus efforts.  If that happens, many economists believe we will begin to see a sharp increase in interest rates which could result in a much higher monthly payment for those who wait.  For example, an interest rate increase of 1% on a 30 year fixed mortgage of $300,000 could cost a buyer $188 more a month or $67,000 more over the span of the entire loan.  Another way of looking at it is that for every 1/8% rise in rates, the “amount of home” you are able to afford reduces by $10,000.  For instance, if you can afford a $350,000 home with today’s interest rates, when the rates increase by just 1% you will only be able to afford to buy a $270,000 home.  So, I ask you….If rates are historically low, what is the likelihood they will go up”?

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RECORD HOME PRICE AFFORDABILITY

Home price affordability is at its most optimal level in decades.  As a result, those who wait to buy will likely pay more for the home they purchase than what that same home would cost right now.  In fact, home prices have already begun to rise slightly in some markets.  Instead of getting a better bargain, waiting to buy a home might net buyers a higher purchase price, less appreciation and less house for their buck.

THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE for anyone who wants to take advantage of this great buying opportunity.  If you are prone to saying “what if” and wondering what could have been, you will thank yourself down the road for buying now.

Contact me, and let me show you how to take advantage of this Perfect Storm in Real Estate!!

Myth #3 about short sales

Real Estate Myth # 3

Myth # 3: I can find more homes for sale by calling more than 1 agent!

It is possible but unlikely. Like any industry there are Great Agents, Average Agents, and Below Average Agents. Some agents specialize in neighborhoods, cities or other specific areas. Almost all agents have access to the Multiple Listing Service in their area, which means that they all have access to the same # of homes.

Today, if you are Internet savvy, you can narrow the search yourself. However, a Realtor should know the little things that make a neighborhood suitable for you. They are there to serve you, so take advantage of their expertise.

Short sale myth #2

Short Sale- Myth # 2

Myth # 2: It’s smarter for homeowners to walk away than to short sell their home.
As Tara-Nicholle Nelson says in her article Yes and No. “Increasingly, I’m hearing those who own upside down homes ask why they would bother with a short sale, when they could just walk away with much less effort and drama. The reality is that walking away and letting your home go to foreclosure is an extremely serious, personal decision – the wisdom of which varies dramatically owner to owner and state to state. Some states allow lenders to sue homeowners who default on their mortgages, and impose taxes on the mortgage debt cancelled out in foreclosure, sometimes totalling tens of thousands of dollars.

Other homeowners’ family and financial plans would be impaired much less by a short sale than by a foreclosure. For still others, it’s pretty much a wash. For everyone, though, it is faster to recover your credit and ability to take out another mortgage on a new home after a short sale than after a foreclosure.

Given that a short sale costs a seller little or nothing except some time an effort, in many instances it is smarter to make an effort to short sale than it is to walk away.”

Short Sale Myths….

Short Sale Myth # 1: That there is anything typical, standard or normal when it comes to getting a Short Sale approved?

No, “typical” is not in the vernacular for these transactions.
The bank is the power broker in Short sales. They can respond to an offer any way they want. “They may counter at a much higher price and demand a cash payment from the seller. Or not. They may take weeks or they may take six months. They may approve a way below asking offer, or require a hundred thousand over the asking price. Forget the idea of standard, when it comes to a short sale.”

Short Sales can either be torture or easy, there is no way to tell.
