Did you know?

Lewes was the site of the first European settlement in Delaware, a whaling and trading post named Zwaanendael (Swan Valley) founded by Dutch settlers in June 3, 1631[2]. It is known to be the earliest town founded in the state, and because Delaware was the first state to ratify the constitution, the town refers to itself as "The first town in the first state."

This city, together with the towns of Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, South Bethany, and Fenwick Island, comprises Delaware's beach resort area and is Sussex County's most densely-populated and fastest-growing area. It also is the southern terminus of the Cape May-Lewes Ferry and adjacent to Cape Henlopen State Park and is close to the outlet malls of Rehoboth Beach. It is served by a branch of the Delaware Coast Line Railway that originates in Georgetown.

It serves as a vacation and resort spot popular with residents of northern Delaware, particularly New Castle County. Even though the city technically sits on the lower reach of the Delaware Bay, it is nonetheless considered an ocean resort, particularly as the ocean is only as far away as Cape Henlopen. In addition to being a tourist destination, Lewes is also close to several outlet malls.

The town is also the home of the Zwaanendael Museum, which features exhibits about Delaware's history.
- Second Street is the town's main street and has many shops, restaurants, and historical venues.
- Fisherman's Wharf is a dock that stretches along the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal. It features multiple restaurants, bait shops, and the dock(in season) has hundreds of boats to look at from all over.
- Also, the lightship Overfalls (LV-118-WAL-539) is moored here. It is owned by the Overfalls Maritime Museam Foundation (or OMMF).
 

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!
