Did you know?

Human beings probably inhabited this area as long ago as 10,000 BC; little is known about them because much of the evidence of their existence has been destroyed by development. At that time, sea levels were lower, and the Atlantic Coast lay about 30 miles (48 kilometers) farther west than it does today. At the time, the area would have resembled inland portions of southern Delaware today. By the time the first Europeans arrived in the area in the 1600s, the coastline was at its present location and several Native American tribes lived in the area, including the Lenape (or Delaware]], the Sikkonese, the Assateagues, and the Nanticoke. Pressure from English and Dutch settlers radiating outward from Delaware forced the Lenape to migrate to upper New York state, Canada, and Oklahoma, while the Sikkonese and Assateagues disappeared; the Nanticoke, however, still exist in the general area today. The land later came under the control of the Duke of York, who granted it to various landholders in the 1700s. By the mid-1800s,the descendants of these landholders were farmers attempting to make a living off the relatively poor land.[3]

The city was founded in 1873 by the Rev. Robert W. Todd, of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church of Wilmington, Delaware, as a site for Methodist camp meetings in the spirit of similar resorts on the New Jersey shore, such as Ocean Grove. The Camp Meeting Association disbanded in 1881, and in 1891, the location was incorporated by the Delaware General Assembly as "Henlopen City", shortly after which it was renamed to Rehoboth Beach.

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!
