Buy the Model home in Lewes, Delaware
By Kathy Sperl-BellNot ready to retire yet but you know where you want to live when you do? Do you want to buy a new home in Coastal Delaware with all the latest design features and conveniences for your retirement. Have you already started looking even though you still have a year or more to work until you can move?
Lease it back to the Builder!
Right now, we know of two opportunities to purchase the model home in very desirable communities in Lewes, Delaware. The builder is in the business of building homes, not owning them. When they sell the model they pay rent to continue to use it as a model for a period of time, generally one or two years. What are the benefits to you?
- Buy a home loaded with all the options at today’s “buyer market” price
- Take advantage of unbelievably low mortgage interest rates and lock in a fixed rate loan before rates rise
- Wait to list your home for sale until you’re ready to retire or prices recover in your market
Would you like to see some specific examples? (more…)

Universal Design doesn’t have to scream “Old People Live Here!”
By Kathy Sperl-BellFive years ago, the White House Conference on Aging was held, as were state conferences and mini-conferences that were sponsored by various organizations like the National Association of Home Builders and AARP. This only happens every 10 years and the focus of this decade’s conference was on Boomers.
The sheer magnitude of the numbers had government agencies in a near panic.
- 78 Million Baby Boomers began turning 60 in the year 2006!
- 10,000 Boomers turn 55 every day.
- A Boomer turns 50 every 7 seconds.
Stats are still flying and everyone is trying to figure out what Boomers will really be like as we age.

The Housing Boom
By Kathy Sperl-BellThe Housing Market has been the hot topic for the past two years. Sometimes it seems like the only thing the national news media ever talks about. Where will the next Housing Boom come from? That depends — all real estate is local and the local market I’m talking about today is Coastal Delaware. We are very fortunate. This is a desirable location, prices have come down and our recovery is in full swing. The situation may be different for you depending on where you live. Even here however, one town may be selling well while another has yet to see improvement. One community may be celebrating record sales while another sits vacant with tall grass blocking the stone entrance. This market recovery is “hyper-local” and the days of “build it and they will buy” are gone forever.
