“The Mid-Atlantic real estate market has returned with a bang this summer, but homebuyers’ attitudes unquestionably have changed as a result of COVID-19,” said Brian Donnellan, President and CEO of Bright MLS. “With a return to on-premises schooling tentative this fall, many parents looking to buy are making home schooling capabilities a major consideration in their relocation plan."

Eric J. Carter
Featured Photographer
|
|
Eric Carter has always had an interest in photography, but recently he's started to delve deeper into it. When taking a photograph, he looks for an interesting focal point usually from the north shore of Rehoboth to the Cape. Carter tends to gravitate toward the local beach areas with exposed pilings and jetties that create intriguing points for viewings to follow. When asked about his favorite part of the photography process, he said that he enjoys the process as a whole. "The hunt for a location, getting there and working a composition, getting the image onto my computer, and bringing out the best of that image to create a final piece." His appreciation for the art form shines through his work.
Currently, he is featured in a co-op gallery called Sean Kelley Art & Friends on Penny Lane in Rehoboth. Any image posted online can be made into a print for your home gallery or personal collections. Carter can be found on Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr where he posts new images daily.

Furry Friends Needing a Forever Home
|
|
Roxy and Foxy are bonded 8-year-old Calico sisters. They were recently taken in as fosters to prevent their previous owner from surrendering them to a shelter and are ready to find their forever home. The two beauties are very shy at first but will take every opportunity to cuddle once they get to know you. They've been around dogs and kids and it isn't known how they are around other cats yet. Roxy is up to date on all of her shots until next year and Foxy has everything but her updated rabies.

Rehoboth Beach: No Such Thing as an Off-Season
Only in Delaware
|
|
|
Throughout the summer, Rehoboth Beach is a hotspot for tourists and locals alike. During the day, the beach is packed with families and individuals waiting to take a dip in the ocean or tanning under the sun. The shops and restaurants on the boardwalk are flooded with the smells of fresh pizza and salty fries. But once the sun sets, the boardwalk is transformed. Vendors and street performers come out to gain the interest of passersby and Funland fills the air with joyful screams. Even after summer ends and the tourists go home, it is said that the "local summer" starts up in September. Despite the Sea Witch Festival being canceled this year, fall is usually a bustling time for the beach town. Winter turns it into a ghost town until Santa's house and carolers arrive on the boardwalk. With spring comes sidewalk sales and the Dewey-Rehoboth Bacon Fest. Suffice it to say, Rehoboth Beach is a year-round beach town unlike any other.

Island Time B & B on Smith Island
Only in Maryland
|
|
|
As far as unique getaways go, the Island Time B & B on Smith Island, MD is among the most incredible. To Smith Island residents, it is known as "Miss Levy's" after the woman who was one of Rhodes Point's longest-living residents at age 99. Newly transformed by Betty Jo Tyler, this bed and breakfast was the first building on Smith Island to have electricity. It is so secluded that it can only be accessed by boat, allowing for a complete sense of withdrawal from society. With three stories and a 360-degree panoramic view of the island from the top floor, Island Time can be rented out room-by-room or in its entirety. For more information, check out their website and Facebook page. To view the pricing and availability, visit the airbnb page.
