There are some great homes for sale throughout the town of Milton Delaware and on First Sunday, many of them are open for your inspection. There are new homes in Cannery Village and Chestnut Crossing and historic homes on Chestnut Street, Federal Street, Union Street and others in the Historic District.

Start at 422 Chestnut Street at the corner of Poplar Street

422 Chestnut Street

and pick up a list of all the homes for sale in town. Milton, Delaware, is a great place to live and First Sunday is a perfect time to see if it might be right for you.

The town of Milton holds its annual townwide yard sale this Saturday, May 2, 2009. From one end of town to the other, in church parking lots and private driveways, the town is full of great steals and even some valuable antiques.

Get here early and wear comfortable shoes. Yard Sales – one of the perfect pasttimes in Sussex County, Delaware, and it all begins in Milton this weekend.

Despite the rain, the Milton Chamber helped Schell Brothers “cut the ribbon” at their new community Heritage Creek in Milton, Delaware. Preston Schell, President of Schell Brothers and his brother Chris Schell, President of Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty are pictured to the left in the picture below. They are flanked by Georgia Dalzell, Executive Director of the Chamber, to Preston’s left, and Mike Clark, President of the Chamber, to Chris’s right.

Next is John Potocki, owner of Salon Milton and member of the Board. Then there I am in the green jacket; I was just recently elected to serve on the Board of the Milton Chamber of Commerce.

We were all very impressed with the two new model homes that are being introduced this week. This community, as well all Schell Brothers communities in Delaware, cooperate fully with Real Estate Agents and your Buyer Agent.

The email header read -

“OUR MOST RECENT BUYER TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS SPECIAL, WHY SHOULDN’T YOUR CLIENT?”

This email was sent by the Community Sales Manager of Heritage Creek to Realtors in Sussex County, Delaware. That recent buyer is one of our clients. They were able to take advantage of a great opportunity by being in the right place at the right time.

New Home Site

Because we work with all of the new home communities and active adult communities throughout the area, we stay informed about any special offers.

If you are ready and able to buy, we know how to ask the right questions and how to evaluate the different offers. The offers change rapidly and yet the best deals fall into one of two categories:

1. Inventory Homes – the result of a builder getting too far ahead of the market. The longer they sit, the better the deal. Most builders are only building to sales these days but there are occasional inventory homes for sale at a really great price.
2. The Next Buyer – or what I like to call the “one deal at a time” specials. Until a builder feels that the traffic and sales are where they should be, they will offer a special deal that helps them as well. For example, if there is one lot left on the main steet, that might be the “Special” deal. Not the lot in the back of Phase II, but this one he wants to build on next.

Some deals are not really new deals at all. Some builders have so many special offers in their advertising and marketing but they all boil down to the same thing. You need to know what works for you and you need to be represented by a knowledgeable Buyer Agent who knows what the real deals are and how to negotiate on your behalf.

This was the headline in our local paper and then I looked at the photo. It looked like Amy Felker, the owner of The Lewes Bake Shoppe and Notting Hill Roastery on Second Street in Lewes. It’s right down the street from my office and I must get lunch from Amy at least twice a week. Now I find out she can SING! Not only that, she is teamed up with Stuart Vining, a local singer, songwriter and guitarist who we have seen in other very popular groups with the Boomer crowd – Big Hat No Cattle and Vinyl Shockley and Friends.

Charity Case

Bill and I will be going and I’m sure the Theatre will be booked with fans of Amy from both Lewes and Milton. Tickets for the event are only $8 and can be purchased at the door or by calling the Milton Theatre at 302-684-3400. The Theatre is online at www.miltontheatre.org for more information about this and other upcoming performances.

The Milton Theatre offers up some a great variety of entertainment, from live theatre to performances by local and touring professional musicians. Most small towns don’t have such a beautiful venue, they tend to hold concerts and plays in the high school gym or the church hall.
