I recently visited a brand new community being developed in Lewes.  NV Homes is building single family homes and spacious villas in the community of Canary Creek.  During my visit, I was impressed with the quality of construction, the location of this community, the low-maintenance lifestyle being offered, and the affordability of the homes.  You can walk to shopping and dining in downtown Lewes, and you can bike to the beach and Cape Henlopen State Park.

For more information on this amazing opportunity,  give me a call.  Canary Creek has just what you are searching for.

NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM FUNDS AVAILABLE

Now is your chance to take advantage of the funds made available for home purchases through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.

What is Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP)?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) new Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) provides assistance to state and local governments to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities. The NSP provides grants to every state and certain local communities to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes and to rehabilitate, resell, or redevelop these homes in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of house values of neighboring homes. For the State of Delaware NSP, HUD provided $19.6 million to Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA). DSHA, in turn, has allocated funds from the $19.6 million to local jurisdictions through a competitive process based on need and on each applicant’s proposed impact statewide.

There are currently 37 properties in Sussex County that qualify for this program.  The properties range from $15,000 to $749,000 in price.  There are properties in The Peninsula, Lewes Beach, Rehoboth Beach, The Villages at Five Points and other areas.

If you have been waiting for a bargain, NOW IS THE TIME!!  Call Connie Cooper at Cooper Realty Associates 302 841-4185.  I am very knowledgeable about how this program works, and I can help you every step of the way.

ENJOY FESTIVE CHARGE AND TAX-FREE SHOPPING IN SOUTHERN DELAWARE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!!

Includes tax-free shopping, entertainment and hotel options in southern Delaware for the

2011 holiday shopping season.

As Americans struggle to emerge from the worst economic downturn in generations, money earmarked for holiday spending is expected to remain at lower than normal levels during the 2011 Christmas shopping season.

As such, consumers this year are again looking for ways to stretch their holiday budgets, and one of the best ways to do that is by saving money on each and every purchase by eliminating the (almost) always prevalent state sales tax. In the mid-Atlantic region, there’s only one state where that can happen – and that’s Delaware!

The day that many people in the Lewes area of Sussex County, DE have been waiting for is only 1 week away!  On November 18th, ABC will air the Thanksgiving episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition featuring the Dunning family’s Jusst Sooup Ranch.

Dale Dunning founded “Jusst Sooup Ministries”while she was in Bible College, starting off with a crock pot and a hot plate to make soup for her classmates after theology class.  Today, along with her husband Ken and son Brooks, wakes up at 2 a.m. every day to provide meals at 17 soup kitchens for those in need across the state of Delaware.  The Dunnings have been living in a rental home that is basically a converted storage facility for “Jusst Sooup”.  But they store massive amounts of food, and their small home can’t contain it all.  Their dream is to create the “Jusst Sooup Ranch,” which would be a house the Dunnings could move into and where they could run a large-scale kitchen to feed needy families across the state.  It would also be a place that provides shelter, food, and support for families in need, helping them get back on their feet, enabling them to then invite other families to take their place in micro-homes on the property.  Dale envisions “Jusst Sooup Ranch” having a garden, crops and a small farm to provide food.

Tune in on November 18th to learn more about this one of a kind project!!

24th Annual Beebe Ball

“Hollywood Glamour” was in the air as party goers danced the night away at the 24th Annual Beebe Ball last Saturday night.

Tommy (who is on the Beebe Medical Foundation Board) and I have enjoyed attending the Beebe Ball for several years.  However, this year’s event was extra special!!  Beebe supporters decorated the dinner tables with spectacular designs celebrating Hollywood’s famous 50′s and 60′s era movies, actors and actresses.  Our table was decorated as a Liberace theme.

The energizing sounds of Big City Band filled the room and kept the crowd dancing!  There were silent and live auctions featuring fabulous items donated by local businesses as well as amazing packaged trips.  Tommy bid on a beautiful leather vest for me, and he won!   The money raised at this year’s event will help with the completion of the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing at Beebe Medical Center.

It was definitely a night I will always remember!!   Author ~ Connie Cooper

The fourth quarter of the year can cause some sellers to worry if their home hasn’t sold yet. But according to Trulia.com, there is still time to sell.

Typically, many buyers are eager to move and get settled in before the school year and holidays begin but that doesn’t mean you should be discouraged. While the spring is considered a peak selling period, I recall looking for a home in the winter months and successfully closing just after the New Year.
