With Labor Day and the 2018 summer season now in the rearview mirror, attention turns to fall traditions like the return of school, the kickoff of a new football season and the vibrant canvas of trees changing color and eventually falling off in preparation for the long winter ahead.

But did you know that September is also the most popular month of the year to buy a new home? That's right, according to a study from our friends over at Zillow, there's no better time of year than right now to find great deals on residential properties.

So if you've been considering selling your family home, or perhaps your home is already on the market and you feel a price reduction may be in order, now's a great time to take action, as plenty of buyers remain in the

At the Oldfather Group, we work with a wide selection of valued clients on a daily basis. They come from many different backgrounds, but all have one very special thing in common - they're all either conducting, or hoping to conduct, real estate transactions here at the Delaware and Maryland beaches.

We're extremely proud of the fact that we're consistently ranked as one of the top local firms in terms of buyer represented sales, but a lot of our work is also focused on cultivating and taking excellent care of our clients who are wishing to sell their properties for one reason or another.

With 14 years of experience in the coastal Delaware, and now Maryland, marketplace, we've seen just about everything imaginable. Because of this, we can offer a

If you're like most of us, your home is one of the most valuable things that you own. So it stands to reason that taking care of it over the years is of utmost importance.

And that leads us to home improvements, which probably anyone who has ever owned a home has undertaken. Some are minor, like replacing wallpaper with a fresh coat of paint or ripping up your carpeting to expose or lay beautiful new hardware floors.

Others are more extensive, of course, and can range from upgrading your kitchen or bathroom with new fixtures to even something as major as adding a couple of new rooms to your home.

But did you know that some home improvements can significantly add value to your home, while others can be a bit of a "money pit?"

If you've ever sold a home or property, then you no doubt realize that it's a MUCH different experience than being on the buyer's end of the transaction.

Instead of being the ones roaming the area and looking at dozens of local properties, you're basically trying to make one property look as nice and inviting as you possibly can. And your real estate agent of choice is doing everything he or she can to get potential buyers in the door.

But speaking of potential buyers - do you ever wonder what's going in their heads? What makes them tick? Why do they do what they do?

It today's blog entry here on luxuryhomesdelaware.com, we're going to explore some of the more frequent issues that buyers often experience during the negotiation process, some of

So you've signed on the dotted line and sold your family home, ready to move on to the next stage in your life. That's great - we hope you got everything you wanted out of the selling process.

But now what? Well you're going to have to do what so many of us dread, and that's packing up all of your belongings and moving everything you own to a new location, most likely in a new town, city and/or community.

Hey, we understand this is not a process that most people look forward to. We get it, but we also know that it has to be done.

So today, we're going to at least make the chore a little bit easier by giving you some tips and ideas on the moving process. With a little homework and some due diligence, this process doesn't have to be as bad as it

Now that you've decided to put your home on the market, you may be thinking about going it alone, without the help of a licensed REALTOR. Many people consider this regularly, but it's almost always an unwise decision in the long run.

REALTORS are full-fledged members of the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) and take a pledge to live by a certain code of ethics. They are required to keep their clients needs in the forefront at all times and to never, under any circumstances, violate these ethical requirements.

In today's blog entry here on www.luxuryhomesdelaware.com, we're going to give you a few reasons why the input you receive along the way from a licensed REALTOR is invaluable, and why hiring the right agent to sell your home could be one

It's pretty well known around the region that Delaware features tax-free shopping, the only state in the mid-Atlantic and one of only five in the country that does. And we'll save you a Google search - Alaska, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon are the others.

But what's not well known are some of the other tax benefits of living in Delaware's southernmost county, though these advantages have been introduced to many more people in recent years.

I mean, there's a reason why Sussex is the fastest growing county in the state and why so many retirees and second homeowners have chosen to buy property here.

And that sentence should give you a hint - it's the low property taxes! 

But we're getting ahead of ourselves. In this blog entry, we're

If you've ever bought a home in Delaware, you're obviously well aware of a special little First State tax that gets charged whenever real estate changes hands here. But the funny thing about that tax is that most people have no idea what it is, where the money goes and what exactly it's used for.

Well, read this blog entry through to the end and we promise you'll have a much better idea of what this tax is. It won't keep you from having to pay it, of course, but at least you'll know where your money's going when you sign on the dotted line at the settlement table.

Okay, let's start our discussion off today by defining what a Delaware Real Estate Transfer Tax actually is. As defined in Title 30, Chapter 54 of the Delaware Code, a realty transfer
