The tide is rising for home sales in Delaware, up nearly 50% in the second half of 2020, including a continuing wave in 2021 at the beaches where the most expensive home listed for sale is over $10 million.
“It has been so, so busy. It’s amazing,” said Sandi Bisgood, a Realtor with Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty in Rehoboth Beach. “I have never started a year this strong in 22 years.”
Some people’s home buying decisions have been influenced by changes due to the coronavirus, said Bisgood, an at-large director for the Delaware Association of Realtors and past president of the Sussex County Association of Realtors.

Realtor Joan Baines has joined the Jack Lingo Realtor office in Millsboro.
Baines and her husband Gordon moved from New Jersey to the Plantation Lakes section of Millsboro two years ago to be near the beaches and live in a much more affordable area.
Baines came to Delaware with 40 years of residential real estate experience, which included marketing and selling new homes and resales as well as representing estates, first-time buyers, relocating buyers, sellers, downsizers and retirees. She became a Realtor in Delaware and went to work in a Bethany Beach office. She realized more knowledge of the area would be beneficial, so she took some time off while learning local geography.

When Dr. Vinay Hosmane, a physician and longtime Delaware resident, recognized the need for a state-of-the-art medical facility in Sussex County, he made the decision to develop his property on Savannah Road in Lewes.
Real estate development is not new for Hosmane. In the recent past, he saw the need for Indian fusion pan-Asian cuisine in Lewes and led the team that purchased the iconic Victorian home at 210 Savannah Road and opened the restaurant Raas in 2019.
