We all hear economic and financial data from multiple sources. At the end of the day, we feel it is important to share both the sales data in the chart provided and also some perspective on what we are experiencing first-hand.

As we reflect on the last 6 months or so, we started to notice a difference in the temperature of the market in the March/April timeframe. None-the-less, through a rising interest rate environment and uncertainty in the financial markets, we continued to see, and we are still seeing properties sell very quickly. Seven of the last 10 properties that went under contract in Ocean View did so in under 2 weeks. These properties ranged in price from $245K to just under $1 million.

None-the-less, through a rising interest rate environment and uncertainty in the financial markets, we continued to see, and we are still seeing properties sell, just not at the frenzied pace we experienced early in the year. Three of the last five properties that went under contract in South Bethany did so in under 2 weeks and they all did so within a month.

As we reflect on the last 6 months or so, we started to notice a difference in the temperature of the market in the March/April timeframe. None-the-less, through a rising interest rate environment and uncertainty in the financial markets, we continued to see, and we are still seeing many properties sell very quickly. In September, 5 properties went under contract in Fenwick Island and 4 of the 5 went under contract in less than 1 week. These properties ranged in price from $370K to $3.6 million.

Warm sunny days, cool nights and light traffic make this our favorite time of the year at the beach and we hope that you are enjoying this season!  


We have been communicating for the last few months that the beach real estate market has slowed when compared to recent years and this trend continued through August.
