Dewey Market Watch 12/5/19 to 1/13/20

Happy 2020!!! I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season:) 2019 is in the books and 2020 is waiting to see what unfolds and with a little luck it’ll be a very prosperous new year. The overall market in the entire resorts as expected has slowed due to the holidays. The interest rates are great which should bring immediate activity now that the holidays are over. Expect an early spring selling season. Weather in the surrounding states has been relatively mild which in turn brings people to the beach. The traditional Valentines Day weekend typically kicks off the new spring season but the mild weather could get us started a little earlier this year. Need a work break? There’s lots to do in town so pack up your bags and stop in for a winter weekend getaway!!!

135 Chesapeake was a very nice 6bd/3ba, 2,552 sq’. The home was nicely updated and had lake views to die for. The 2nd beach block home was a Reho. By Th Sea leased land property. The older lease had 29 years remaining with an annual lease amount of $4,186. with minimal annual increases vs the newer leases that have a 3.5% annual increase. The property was on the market just shy of a year. I expected it to sell immediately. The new owner got a steal on this one!
