As we look back on 2021, you might recall that we predicted another strong year following a record shattering 2020. This proved to be true! The continuation of shrinking inventory and strong demand created a competitive market for buyers like we have never experienced.  These conditions sent real estate values surging in 2021 and it remains an incredible time to be a seller! In fact, buyer demand continues to be high and there are currently only 12 properties for sale in Bethany Beach versus 23 at this time last year and 85 at the close of 2019!

In 2021, we were fortunate to participate in 30% of sales in the Bethany-Fenwick area, representing the buyer, seller or

It has been a busy week!  These beautiful beach homes settled just in time for the holidays and we are grateful to have worked with these buyers and/or sellers.

Our group hosted The Wags, Witches and Warlocks Halloween Festival in Bethany Beach on Saturday, October 30, 2021.  Families and pets participated in a day of fun which has raised more than $15,000 so far this year for the Brandywine Valley SPCA!   Funds raised will go towards a new state-of-the-art campus and ICU hospital for pets in Delaware.

Take a look at a few photos below to see highlights of this year's event. It is always a very special day and we are extremely grateful to our event sponsors and to the town businesses that support the festival.  We hope that you will join us next year!

As we reflect on the first three quarters of 2021, the momentum that started in 2020 with a surge in buyer demand carried well into 2021 and the outlook continues to be very strong for property owners!

In a typical year, we would expect some slow down as we head into the “off-season”, but there is nothing typical about this market. In fact, September sales outpaced August as 39 properties went under contract in Sept. versus 34 in August. Properties continue to sell very quickly (many within just a couple of days) and multiple offers continue to be the norm.  As of October 1, there were just 38 single family and condo/townhomes for sale in the Bethany-Fenwick area versus 43 at this time last year and 218 in 2019!
