With an ever-growing number of households throughout the U.S., homebuyer activity has highlighted the housing shortage across the U.S. in 2021 – in particular for homes at entry- and mid-level price ranges. With supply chain issues, labor shortages and regulatory practices further slowing new home construction, houses aren’t being built fast enough to meet demand, and home prices are rising fast as a result.

One of the best things about living in Delaware is how close everything is. You can drive from the very top of the state to the very bottom in around two hours, which isn't too bad compared to how long it takes to get from one town to the next in a larger state like Texas or California. What makes it even better is that these rural spots that may be a bit further tend to be worth the drive. Spots like Trap Pond State Park ad Assawoman Bay are included on this full list of local spots to check out.

We had the pleasure to work with Sandy on a purchase of a new home at the Delaware Beach. That meant we had to sell our existing beach house. We listed our home just prior to the pandemic hitting. We did not know what to expect. Sandy developed a professional marketing plan with photographs, brochures, drone footage, and an aggressive open house schedule. Our house sold! She led us through the coordination both transactions (mortgage, title, inspections, etc.). Sandy knows the shore and its communities. I would highly recommend her for the purchase or sale of any real estate. Besides being a top-notch Realtor; she also bakes a pretty darn good loaf of sourdough bread!

Miyagi Ramen Bar
Featured Restaurant
|
|
Miyagi Ramen Bar in Rehoboth started as a simple conversation between two friends with a passion for ramen. Their main goal was "to bring non-processed home-cooked meals with fresh ingredients to the Delaware beaches," something they strive for every day. Miyagi's name comes from Miyagi Prefecture in Japan, a Sister State to Delaware that was hit by a major earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Small businesses like Miyagi helped selflessly with the relief and rebuilding efforts, giving their name an even greater meaning. If you're looking for a warm atmosphere offering authentic and fusion ramen filled with freshly made noodles every day, look no further than Miyagi Ramen Bar.
