In a neighborhood not far from downtown Rehoboth, 2 houses for sale sit side by side, are essentially the same in exterior finishes, lot size, square footage, condition and age (the major criteria in selecting and pricing a home).   Yet, one house is offered at twice the amount the other house is.

How in the world as a prospective buyer of beach real estate does one make sense of this?  Sellers are motivated to sell their homes for different reasons – some are motivated by necessity and some are letting their emotions (and their wallets) guide them. 

If you’re out there and looking at real estate in today’s market, take a deep breath, keep your cool and remember everyone is motivated in different ways.
