What a wonderful way to spend a lovely afternoon. The Lifestyles Committee at Heritage Shores hosted an afternoon tea in May. Neighbors and friends enjoyed delicious potato leek soup, scones, tea sandwiches & assorted desserts and teas. The flower exchange was a great success and everyone enjoyed the live music provide by Harpist Joy Slavens.

The inventory of existing homes at Heritage Shores is selling well. In 2011, 7 existing homes went to settlement. Some of those homes had been listed anywhere from 78 days to as many as 1466 days when we looked into the Real days on the market.
Comparing 2011 to 2012 so far, existing homes are now selling for a higher percentage of the List Price (LP) when the home sold than they did in 2011. What do I mean by that? Let’s say a home was originally listed by Agent A in February 2007 for $414,000 and did not sell. By the time is was listed by Agent C in March 2009 at $358,000, it ended up selling for $345,000. Therefore, it sold for 96% of LP at the time it sold, but only 83% of the original asking price.
Overall, homes that sold in 2011 sold for 94% of the LP but 83% of the Original List Price (OLP). In 2012, by comparison existing homes have sold for 97% of the LP and 85% of the OLP.
The average Sales Price has remained about the same – between $250,000 and $300,000. More single family homes than attached homes are selling, but there are more single family homes at Heritage Shores and there are no new attached homes being built.

The Heritage Shores Deadeyes held a rifle competition with the Woodbridge High School ROTC in the high school gymnasium. Using high powered BB guns they competed from three positions for firing – prone, kneeling and standing.

Last night we joined friends for a Cowboy Inspired Buffet and Live Entertainment provided by the Jr. Wilson Band at Heritage Shores. Linda Chick, one of our Agents, and her husband Jack live at Heritage Shores after moving here from Maryland 9 months ago. They are accomplished “hand dancers”. It’s very similar to the West Coast Swing or the Shag (beach dancing) I discovered as Jack taught me a few steps. Debbie Shearer, another transplant from Maryland, and her husband Joe, also live at Heritage Shores. When Debbie finishes some Delaware real estate training, she too will be joining Active Adults Realty.
We had a great time and I was really impressed with the band. These guys were good and their repertoire went from country to the Beatles. Take a look -
At the Easton Waterfowl Festival I enjoyed the Wine Tasting Tent! Tasted some wonderful local wines and picked up a brochure 
on the Chesapeake Wine Trail. If I am lucky enough to have a day free on a day as nice as yesterday, I know what I am going to do – ask Bill to drive and travel the Chesapeake Wine Trail.
I tasted some great wines from Dove Valley Winery and particularly liked the Pinot. They had a Holiday Barrel Tasting on December 3rd from 6 pm – 9 pm with Live Music. Sounds like a fun evening. I also enjoyed the wines offered by St. Michael’s Winery and look forward to a trip to see the vineyard.
New wineries are opening soon and I tasted some nice wines from Layton’s Chance Winery. Take a chance, find your designated driver and visit the wineries on the Chesapeake Wine Trail!

Great news! Golf carts are now allowed for use around the community! You have no idea how many of our clients have asked if they could bring their golf carts with them when they retire to Heritage Shores, Delaware’s Best Master Planned Community. A lot of those people are calling from The Villages or thought about retiring to Florida at one time.
Heritage Shores is the only active adult community in Delaware with its own Championship 18-hole Golf Course and now you can 
have your own golf cart! I wonder how the residents will customize their golf carts? We’ll look forward to bringing you photos as the new carts are spotted.
New golf course home sites with pond views have also been released and we have the details. Perfect for several models of new single family home styles, the location is fantastic. If you want a pond view and an affordable new home, now is the time to contact us for more information.
On Sunday, September 11th several hundred residents were privileged to attend a moving event at the clubhouse to recognize the residents that served in the military. Also included were the police, firemen/women and other service members that serve in Bridgeville. A very informative slide show was presented along with a great singing group that sang patriotic songs and a bagpiper that played taps. It was a very moving presentation and there were very few dry eyes in the room.
