Did you know?

While not as extreme as spring-break locales such as Panama City Beach or Cancún, Dewey Beach has developed a reputation as a wild summer "party town", and is particularly popular in the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Wilmington areas.

The town lies on a small strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay, is about one mile long and only two blocks wide. Despite its small size and low year-round population of about 300, it is not uncommon for 30,000 to descend upon the town during summer weekends. Numerous bars and rock clubs line Coastal Highway (Delaware Route 1), the town's main street. Further down Coastal Highway is Ruddertowne, home to more bars and clubs. On summer nights, particularly on the weekends, Route 1 is choked with pedestrians as bar goers hop from one nightspot to another, backing up traffic for miles.

Notwithstanding its reputation as a magnet for partygoers, it is also a popular family resort spot, particularly because of its wide, sandy beaches, and many hotels, cottages, and condominiums may be found.

As is the case with most beach areas, this city quiets down in the fall and winter. The town hosts the Dewey Beach Music Conference during the last weekend of September. This event began in 2002 and has been a huge draw for unsigned bands from all over the country. Another popular Dewey Beach event, which occurs every October, is Greyhounds Reach The Beach, where thousands of rescued greyhounds and their owners congregate.
Also, the town is the location of the annual East Coast Skimboarding Championships, in mid-August.
 

Why Smart Homeowners Are Moving Up at the Start of a Real Estate Recovery Cycle!

Most signs and economic indicators point to a recovery cycle in the real estate market with price stabilization. Previous perceptions of a flood of foreclosure properties are not materializing, and in fact, foreclosure filings are down. Nationally, 7.5 million homes are at least 90 days late on their mortgage. Banks are moving more aggressively toward "short sale" solutions versus foreclosing and taking an immediate loss on their books.
 
• The Fed has stopped its tax credit program, which resulted in new home sales up 15% to a two year high.
 
• The Fed is moving away from buying mortgage backed securities and leaving that to private sector forces.
 
• Many experts believe it's inevitable that the Fed's next step is to raise interest rates after having "controlled" them at VERY historically low rates.
 
Smart homeowners see an ideal opportunity to "move up." Short sales in your move up range offer great values. That combined with the low interest rates (for how long?) makes this an ideal time to explore selling and moving up. Everyone's situation is unique, but I'll be happy to offer a no-obligation meeting to see if it's right for you. Call or email me!
