Why a Finished Community Matters Here
The builders have sold their last homes here, so what you buy is a resale, and the choice is set by what owners put on the market.
No builder price list: there are no new homes to compare against. Price is set by recent resales in the community, which the August snapshot above tracks.
Two sections: the North section went up first, from 2009, and the South section is newer. The age and finishes of a home depend on which section it is in.
Older homes: the earliest homes are now more than 15 years old. Roofs, heat pumps and water heaters from the original build may be near the end of their life, so a home inspection matters.
Newer homes: homes in the South section built in the 2020s may still carry part of a builder warranty. Ask for the paperwork.
We will pull the build year and the section for any home you are considering before you write an offer.

The state picture: Delaware has no state sales tax, no estate tax and no inheritance tax, and Social Security is not taxed.
The local picture: the Villages at Red Mill Pond is outside the City of Lewes limits, in unincorporated Sussex County, so the property tax bill is county and school tax with no city tax on top.
