Frederica, Delaware

It does snow in Delaware I live here😜

Does Delaware offers Medicaid and snap benefit

Matt, thanks for the update. Ive just recently noticed the trend and im back to being interested as a potential buyer. You mention days on market being a driver for sellers. One thing ive seen in the homes going on and off the market. Listing in fall or spring, being removed for the summer (presumably because they can get rental income) and then listed again. Some condos and homes look like theyve been trying to sell for 1.5 years, and only now are the prices coming down a bit. Interesting development and im definitely tuned in.

Delaware in the building ✌️🇺🇸

I've already decided NOT to move to a 55+ community. Too many horror stories.

My family are true Sussex county natives.. Raised in Lewes. Got married, and moved to NCCo. I miss home so much!

what will the price range be for these homes in the 2 areas you mentioned

To me, the whole area is perfect for slow living and natural beauty. But if you want to travel, it's a long haul to the international airports in DC or Baltimore or Phil. As I mentioned, it's ridiculous to move there to save $ on real estate taxes because the whole market has eaten up those savings with higher base pricing of the homes . If you take a closer look at new home development, the so-called incentives don't amount to very much as they have raised their base prices by at least $25k or more over the last three years. Like in Florida, there's a surge in inventory. Maybe current buyers just don't care about the above, but I would.

Helpful info

Pay a regular high fee to other people so they can tell you what you can and can't do... that's rich!

Matt, as always, our hats are off to you for helping us resettle in Lewes from Southern California. Now, with a lifetime pass to Cape Henoplen State Park, with bikes and kayaks, what's not to love about slower lower Delaware? We appreciate your videos as always!

How about Milford? Do you think it will grow like Milton?

Thanks for the info very informative.

I live in a 55+ community and it is fantastic. one of my wisest decisions ever. Been here 7 years and hope I never have to leave

Do you do videos that show homes that can be bought and flipped along the Delaware beaches?

A big issue with floorplans is that these communities are not designed for aging in place. Sure - it may be a one floor design - but simple things like wheelchair accessibility is completely ignored. Things like 3 foot interior doors, kitchen design, bathroom design are not age friendly. For example, the toilet in the main bedroom needs to have a 3 foot clearance on one side or the other with a grab bar to enable people in wheelchairs to use them. Higher outlets and lower light switches are simple things that we don't ever see - but would not cost the builder anything extra. That's why they are all marketed as "active adult communities". If you are a married couple - how long can you live there until one or both of you have mobility or other issues? Also, a lot of the fees go to maintain things like pools, tennis courts, etc. So you are going to end up paying for facilities that you may not even use. Some of these places even have to maintain the roads. As the community ages - in addition to increasing fees - do the words "special assessment" mean anything to you? This is not to mean that most people would be very happy in such a place - but you have to realize that your "shelf life" there may be shorter than you were hoping because of the age in place shortcomings.

Having taken care of elderly relatives in "regular neighborhoods..." one of the big downsides is that retired neighbors are a FREAKING nosy nightmare.... Looking for any minor infraction and making it their cause celeb and their business... When my mother died the greatest feeling was knowing I could say "F.... OFF" to the previous nightmare neighbors....

I’ve been seeing Lennar homes everywhere. Makes me wonder if they are building a new city or something. But they are Are nice in my opinion. I love their open spaces.

When you say beach towns what exactly do you mean? For instance we own a home in Overbrook Shores on Red Mill Pond. We have a Milton address but we are closer to Lewes than Milton.

Great common sense info! Thanks for keeping us posted Matt! 😎👍

Matt, I am very interested in buying or beginning the discussion. How can I speak to you?

Wassup Matt my name is Devin I’m 19 and was born in Newark buh grew up in Bowers Beach, I now reside in San Antonio, Tx and I’m now starting my entrepreneur journey and is looking into Short Term Rentals. I was wondering if you can do a more in depth video on Short term rentals in the Sussex county by any chance

DR Horton is awful! Be careful before you make your decision when you purchase from DR Horton. They have very bad warranty services. They refuse to fix the problems coming from the construction. Very bad company.

I recently moved to coastal Delaware and I love it. I appreciate all your weekly videos as they are helping me settle in with better knowledge about Delaware. The two main problems 1) difficulty accessing physicians. It took almost six months to get an appointment with a primary care physician. I have had Pulmonary care in Tennessee and Virginia. When I attempted to make an appointment with a Pulmonologist in Lewes/Rehoboth area I wasn’t able to book an appointment without a referral from my former providers! Beebe Hospital has a great staff but the demand is growing and space limited. I think we need larger ER facilities and many more private patient rooms. 2) there is so much expansion going westward that highway 24 and 9 currently not meeting traffic and more construction will only compound the traffic backups. Perhaps you can address this in other videos?

Considering a move to Heritage Shore at Bridgeville. This helps. Thanks.

Matt, thanks so much for educating us; it's very helpful, especially for those of us who will be relocating to DE.

How about a video on the new Sussex County assessment? thanks!

New 2 Delaware!!!! Love it❤

Can’t get out of Florida!! We are now playing scratch off lottery tickets 😂😂😂

What about 550,000?

Is there anywhere close to the beaches where you can get a home on more than a measly 1/4 acre? Doesn’t have to be new construction. In fact it’s better if it’s not new.

Nice video.

Thank You!

I like this type of video! Even though the two homes you showed are way bigger then I need and out of my price range, I still liked this type of video! Thanks for all you do! 😎👍

Great info Matt. I agree with your analysis. If the homes priced right and marketed correctly it will sell. Thanks for all your help in our coastal DE home search.

Grottos’s pizza is frozen crust trash. Too greasy. Mama Maria’s or Mr. P’s is best.

Just do a quick search in Lewes. Tons of homes for sale, not to mention all the new builds in the works. Many homes in the DE beach areas are 2nd homes & are rentals. Many want to get out of rental business and are looking to sell. I don’t know what you’re reading, but the economy is not doing well & it’s only going to get worse. Look at personal debt. Many are living off their credit cards to meet their basic needs. You’re way off base telling people to buy now. No thanks, just a few yrs. ago you could buy a new house in DE for $400k and now it’s $700/$800k. You can go ahead & buy now, but not me!

With the rise in "cash only" sales, lots of foreclosures, layoffs and business shut downs, the Real Estate Agent I was working with to buy a home in Oregon told me straight out that the housing market IS about to crash. She said 4 co-worker agents in her office got outside jobs and left because they had not closed a sale in over 7 months.

Hey, I m from Eu and looking forward to move to Wilmington DE. Is a friendly city to move with my wife?

k. Hov does not allow a real estate agent at walk throughs... They are not pro buyers having real estate representation.

K. Hovnanian will not allow a private home inspection until after close and will only fix what is under warranty

Thank you

Honeys is awesome

Sounds like you’re gonna need MORE PARAMEDICS.

who are the builders in the new homes part

So much for being a small town. Why do you need the gigantic residential and business complex in every nice small town, Delaware? Yeah, you are going to make more money, but you are going to spend more than you make over the years with traffic, crime and road infrastructure.

That’s disgustingly expensive for retirees..so much for retiring down. Be ashamed of yourselves.

Again, your info helps all of us residents in lower slower DE. I support sustained local growth, but the local infrastructure must happen as well especially widening the roads. Thanks Matt!
