Today on DelmarvaLife –
We all know it…a little help goes a long way. That’s safe to say for every situation life throws your way, right? Score Mid and Lower Shore wants to be and is that support for our area’s small businesses.
Remember last week when the weather was unbearably hot and it felt like we were just spending everyday waiting for the heat wave to end? It’s a similar, more long term situation with the way the current housing market is..buyers, sellers, and the realtors, agents, and brokers in the middle continue to sort through the chaos, and that takes patience.
Pam Price of Remax Coast and Country says she’s seeing happenings throughout the process she never thought she would.
She sat down with DelmarvaLife’s Katie Zarrilli to give us an honest look into what the market is like.
The housing market remains hectic. Buyers are getting repeatedly beat out for homes they hope for, and sellers making money off their homes are stuck without someplace to go. That might make you wonder- what’s going on in the world of finance? Good news- it’s still strong. So, while it may be a tough task to get a home, it’s a great time to get a loan. DelmarvaLife’s Katie Zarrilli sat down with Dan Premo of “The Premo Team at Meridian Bank” to learn more.
Dr. Maninder Singh from TidalHealth is here to discuss cardiology with us!

What You’ll Need
- 2 ripe avocados, cut in half, pitted, and peeled
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Test Kitchen Tip
- To help prevent this from turning black, make sure you cover it with plastic wrap and press the plastic wrap down so it sticks to the guacamole. This reduces exposure to air which helps keep it nice and green.
- Guacamole is a great dip for a wide variety of things! You can dip your favorite veggies or chips, or even slather it on some toast, which is pretty trendy right now!
