I was intrigued by the Washington Post’s article (7/4/09) called Bargains by the Beach, being a Delaware Beach REALTOR myself.
The article focuses on distressed homes as the “bargains”, but darling let’s be SERIOUS! How much of a bargain is it when you are spending time replacing the decrepid stove in your “fixer-upper” when instead you could have your toes in the sand, book in hand?
I can tell you the REAL deals here at the moment are in new construction. What you would spend to purchase and rehab a fixer-upper (time AND money) could easily buy you a brand new place at the beach!
So don’t come to Delaware and drive into the new communities – give me a call! Seriously. You want an agent to have your back – even when you buy a brand new home. The person in that sales office is working for the builder, baby, not for you. And my services don’t cost you, the buyer, a dime. I’ve helped buyers purchase in several new home communities (one development I’ve sold three homes in) and each time the deals get better and better.
So cancel the power tools you have on layaway and focus instead on the SPF. Let’s get our priorities straight.
