The results are in from the final calendar month of the 2018 housing market. We've compiled a stock of market reports in key locations within our realm of service. For further explanation of these reports, contact us and we'll be happy to help you.

If you'd like to stay up-to-date with our market reports, reach out and let us know - we can have these very detailed reports sent to you monthly, in addition to custom market reports even further drilled down by the city/town level - and even by subdivision.

While the market across most of the Delmarva Peninsula is stable overall, I predict we'll be seeing a minor shift as inventory levels begin to normalize and interest rates continue to climb. Thinking about buying or selling in 2019? Now would be the best time to begin the conversation revolving around: "When is the best time to take action?"

At Adventure Group of Long & Foster, we’re experts in residential home sales, but we also specialize in land sales. That means a lot of time spent in the great outdoors, trudging through woods, fields, and marsh, and encounters with some of nature’s most troublesome pests: mosquitoes, ticks, and chiggers.

We thought we’d take the opportunity just before summer to give you a few tips on how to survive the height of bug season on Delmarva.

Making the decision to sell your house can be difficult - so Adventure Group of Long and Foster is here to guide you through the selling process. Typically it takes approximately 30-60 days from contract acceptance to settlement. Here's how it works:

To begin, you’ll meet with one of our agents to discuss your goals and the property you’d like to sell. The agent can advise you on your house’s current market value, things you can do to make your house more marketable, and answer any questions you have about the process.

So you’re ready to buy your first home? Congrats! The process can seem intimidating, but the team at Adventure Group of Long and Foster is here to help you along every step of the way.

First, you’ll need to determine what you want and what you need from the house you’ll ultimately purchase. If you’re having trouble determining these things, one of our agents can give you some advice on things like neighborhoods, schools, and other factors that may influence your search.
