[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The Delaware beach fan club just will never acknowledge that they’re not in a high end destination for 2nd homes - they’re the equivalent of the upper segment of the middle tier of NJ shore.. maybe they get up to being nearly like Stone Harbor...

You’ve got GIC, certain eastern shore enclaves, and VA horse country. Those are renowned destinations that attract part time residents from an expansive area. The only people buying in Rebobeth are from Philly, Baltimore, and DC.

I have literally never heard of any DMV family that has considered or bought a home in Virginia horse country, but I know several objectively wealthy families with homes in Bethany and Lewes.  There are many homes in my Bethany neighborhood that range from $6-9 million so I'm confused that you would believe that portions of the DE beaches are not a high end destination for second homes.[/quote]

I guess I don’t think of the DE beaches as being particularly elite areas because you don’t see 10,000 square foot homes on 3 acres like will happen on the Hamptons and sell for $100MM.

That said, I agree with you…I don’t hear anyone talking about elite VA horse country except Middleburg and don’t hear anyone mentioning elite Eastern shore areas.

It’s more like I bought on the Eastern shore because I could get a bigger house and land on the water for the same price of a Bethany beach house.[/quote]

NP here. That's because you don't know enough people, and that's ok. If you don't know elite ESMD areas then you're just not in the know. And plenty of people have zero interest in the Hamptons or a 10,000 square foot house (anywhere). Or Bethany.[/quote]

Nailed it.

Nothing captures the provincialism (ironically) of DC like the contingent who drive right past Talbot County and think they’re going to the Hamptons when they’re headed to Rehobeth. “We’re just like the UES because we live in Palisades and go “summer” in Rehobeth”.  Yeah ok.[/quote]
