Katie Landon Rehoboth REALTORS

Wow I am so happy that Spring has finally arrived. Although I have not place many SOLD signs this winter I have been rather busy with other things. I coached cheerleading at my daughter's High School this past Winter and loved it. The girls were so much fun, in addition I worked Part time in my friends Liquor Store (completely different from other jobs I have had in the past) And last but not I began attending classes at the local college to finally begin working on my degree again after many years of sabatical. I plan to take it slow to start, but hope to be finished sometime in the next 5-6 years. After being out of school for so long its takes alittle adjusting to get back into the habit of Homework and relearning things I had forgotten all about.

I am looking forward to the warmer weather that should be upon us in the next few weeks so I can get started on my garden (which I hope to stay in control of this year) and some much needed landscaping in my yard.

Sellers remember a pretty yard draws people to your home, so get the rakes, and shovels ready for upcoming weeks, mulch those flower beds and trim the trees. Fresh flowers on the tables in the kitchen, dining room and even bedrooms can warm up any room. The buyers are coming so get ready.

In the next few weeks the flowers will be blooming all over the Eastern Shore as well as in neighboring states. I know it has been a hard winter on so many people and we will all welcome the warmer temperatures. What a great place to be this time of year Sussex County, DE. You have 3 beaches to enjoy and something to do everyday. Lewes, Rehoboth and of course do not forget Dewey Beach. The seasonal spots have begun to get ready for the upcoming season. March 27-29 the annual Home Show in Rehoboth Beach, for more information go to www.rehobothbeach.com. Tips and tricks to spruce up your home.

Although many people do not believe we have hit the bottom yet I still believe it is a great time to buy. Prices are down and so are the mortgage rates! We have many homes, and condo's ready for you the consumer to purchase now and be here before the summer season begins. Townhouses, Condos, and Single Family all prices ready to sell.

Just a few of the elves with Ms. Claus! Deter, Abbie, Katie & Randy in front of the float. I must say being in the parade as opposed to being a spectator is a much different experience especially in the town you reside. It really is a big blurr. We had alot of fun and are looking forward to the next one in Lewes, DE saturday at 5pm. Many of my colleagues attend this one so I am sending out warm wishes in advance because I am sure (even with my glasses on) I will not see you.

I wanted to thank Lucille Johansen for all her hard work on our Elf costumes yes, they are all hand made hats and all. What fun. I guess if I am not making much money in Real Estate these days I can always call up Santa and ask for a job as an elf I am short enough.

Happy Holidays to all!!!!

It is officially the holiday season in Delaware! The lights are all hung and the parades have started here in our wonderful beach area. Each town as you may remember from past blogs has a Christmas parade with floats, marching bands and beauty pageant winners. We also have Mrs. Claus and the anticipated arrival of Santa Claus for the young and old. Yesterday Milton, DE kicked off the season with their parade at 2pm. Unfortunately for me I missed it but I will be attending the Georgetown and Lewes parades this year. We are participating in both with our friends @a new venture, located on Rte 9 in Milton on the way to the beach. And of course my husband's new venture in the unit right next door, we will be the elves with Mrs. Claus. This is the first time since living in Delaware we have participated we are usually spectators. I hoping for a balmy night not freezing as it has been. Pictures to follow....
