Don't get fooled by the no sales tax in Delaware. You buy a car (or when you move to Delaware) you are taxed (or as they called it "processing fee") of 4.25%. So a car you already own and need to register you pay 4.25%. Buy a car you pay 4.25%.
That is the only "sales" tax - it is a one time charge. Compare that to say VA, In Virginia, car ownership fees include a 4.10% Motor Vehicle Sales and Use (SUT) Tax based on the vehicle's gross sales price or $75, whichever is greater1. An additional $64 fee applies to electric vehicles. Additionally, Virginia taxes automobiles every year as a property tax, which is 3% of the sale price. What does your state charge for car ownership?
As a Senior if you need healthcare look elsewhere. Most of the people in our community go out of state if they need anything more than a physical. Second rate doctors that make you wait weeks for appointments. 😮
It’s Slower Lower to all the locals & always has been. The Lower Slower trend didn’t start until someone wanted to make bumper stickers within the last 15-20 years.
@@MattLunden Nice! I think I found it. Corner of DuPont & Seashore Hwy across from a community college? Well I think that’s a “Clinic” only, but I just looked it up and looks like there’s a full “Medical Center” in Wilmington if needed. How’s Georgetown?
@rob41137 Georgetown is the seat of Sussex County. Covers quite a bit of area & has everything from “downtown” to more rural areas. About 30 mins from the beaches
I've visited Rehoboth Beach my entire life. It used to be idyllic. Unfortunately, Del beach areas are now horribly overpopulated, overpriced, and overbuilt with insufficient roads and infrastructure and laughable public transportation. You'll have to drive to Washington, Annapolis, or Baltimore for medical care. And there's a terrible shortage of doctors. You have to drive 2-3 hours to BWI to get on a flight. While the restaurants have been improving, they're overpriced and not comparable to other parts of the country. And the traffic and parking is miserable - everywhere. The main drag is full of tourists and repetitive vendors all selling pizza, fries, taffy, and tshirts. The new suburban neighborhoods of outer "Lewes" are nice but literally out in left field with stores and resources at least 20 minutes away. The zoning is simply horrible. And let's talk about flood risk, climate change, and sealevel rise. It's going to be a risky challenge to live in lower DE over the next 25 years. It's a nice place to visit, but...
Great video Matt! I would love to own a house in Delaware but we don't think we can afford it. Is there any option for new homeowners with no or very low deposit? Our money might go further but don't know. I work in transportation like truck driving and rideshare. My wife works at grocery stores. What do you think, I should do?
Seniors don't move to Coastal Delaware!! No matter what this guy says. We have the worst healthcare in the US. If you need healthcare that's more involved than a hangnail, you will need to be referred to either Baltimore, or Philadelphia. Most of the specialists are from Philadelphia, where their practices failed, due to botched care. Come to Delaware only to die!
I'm a summer seasonal in DE and I do make the ocassional trip in the winter. Delaware has beautiful vegetation; the trees are gorgeous
Great, Great Info as always! Thanks Matt! I will be calling you soon!😎👍
Look forward to it!

Yep!
Considering a move to Heritage Shore at Bridgeville. This helps. Thanks.
Hi we like your info on Delaware. We looked last year at Ingram point in Millsbo. Do u have info on this. Thanks
Hey! Shoot us an email - RUclips@Lunden.Group and we can get you squared away
You didn't mention traffic. Getting there is a nightmare usually one way in and one way out.
Not true

Come on, say it in the right order “lower slower Delaware “ LSD
We’re traveling through and just bought the bumper sticker LSD for the fun of it!
It’s Slower Lower to all the locals & always has been.

It’s slower lower Delaware
To be fair, a lot of the lower taxes are made-up for by road tolls.
I’d say it’s more of the transfer tax than the tolls
Is there a VA hospital nearby?
There is a VA hospital in Georgetown, DE

Delaware state housing authority has some programs with those that have limited down money that could be worth talking to a lender about
@MattLunden
Would I have to go to a lender in Delaware or would any lender know?
@ndg9367 it would need to be a lender licensed in Delaware
@@MattLunden
Ok, thanks!

That is the dumbest thing I have ever read!
I’ve lived here 10 years and strongly disagree. My spouse and I have fantastic health care providers here, both primary care and specialists.
The beaches are mediocre at best.
Hey! Which beaches do you prefer along the mid-Atlantic Coast?
