This is the time of year when we like to calculate absorption rates in order to understand whether we are trending in the direction of a buyer’s or seller’s market. We compare the pace of sales over the previous 12 months to determine how many Months Supply of Inventory is for sale.

Generally, a balanced market would have 7 months of inventory while more would be a buyer’s market and less a seller’s market. At this time, Bear Trap continues to be well under a balanced market, staying in a seller’s market due to good buyer activity and at the present time, zero inventory of properties available for sale.

If you would like to discuss the market in more detail as a buyer or a seller, please call our Bear Trap Specialist.

This is the time of year when we calculate absorption rates in order to understand whether we are trending in the direction of a buyer’s or seller’s market at the beach. We compare the pace of sales over the previous 12 months to determine how many Months Supply of Inventory is for sale.

Generally, a balanced market would have 7 months of inventory while more would be a buyer’s market and less a seller’s market. Both Sea Colony East and West continue to stay well under a balanced market due to good buyer activity. While inventory is growing (especially on the East), it remains a seller’s market.

If you would like to discuss the market in more detail as a buyer or a seller, please call our Sea Colony Specialists.

Generally, a balanced market would have 7 months of inventory while more would be a buyer’s market and less a seller’s market. The market is clearly shifting as all areas moved in a favorable direction for buyers. We continue to stay in a seller’s market from North Bethany to South Bethany, but growing inventory in Fenwick Island has shifted that area into a buyer’s market.

A new pedestrian pathway was recently constructed in Bethany Beach along Collins Street, a portion of Kent Avenue and Wellington Parkway. While the project took approximately three months to be completed, many years of Bethany Beach Town Council discussions and subsequent planning were required to bring this new passageway for pedestrians and cyclists to life.

Bethany Beach Town Council Member Mickey Hinman is a strong advocate of the recently completed project, and he says this is just one of many steps he and other members of the town council hope will improve overall pedestrian safety in Bethany.

The recent improvements to the corridor allow cyclists and pedestrians to be separated from traffic, which

The summer season is upon us, and we have enjoyed seeing so many of you enjoying Bear Trap Dunes over the last few weeks! During the month of May, just 1 property went under contract in Bear Trap. This compares to 1 at the same time last year and 2 in May of 2022. While there is vulnerability in the market, the continuation of low inventory in Bear Trap has kept values elevated (currently there are no properties for sale in the community).

If you have any questions about the market in general or any specific property, please call our Bear Trap Expert:

The summer season is upon us, and we have enjoyed seeing so many of you enjoying the area over the last few weeks! During the month of May, 3 properties went under contract in the community of Bayside.   This compares to 4 properties at the same time last year, and 4 in May of 2022. There is some softening of values, particularly for single family homes where we have seen a notable rise in inventory (13 properties for sale vs. 6 at this time in 2023). However, there is still a plethora of buyers waiting for specific properties to be listed for sale, especially condos/townhomes where there are now 2 properties for sale, vs. 4 at this time last year.

If you have any questions about the market or any specific property, please call our Bayside
