In this episode of the Let’s Move to Delaware Podcast, host Mark Ericson sits down with mortgage lender and housing advocate Johnnie Bazemore of True Home Solutions to break down what relocating to Delaware really looks like—especially from a financial perspective.

Johnnie shares how Delaware’s unique advantages—like low property taxes, strong location between major states, and a variety of lifestyle options across its three counties—are attracting homebuyers from across the region. He also dives into the realities of today’s housing market, including competitive bidding, new construction growth, and why buyers need to move quickly to secure a home.

The conversation goes deeper into what many relocators struggle with most: financing. From down payment assistance programs and first-time homebuyer tax breaks to creative financing strategies, Johnnie explains how buyers can navigate the process with clarity and confidence.

Listeners will also gain insight into:
How to choose the right Delaware county based on lifestyle (city, suburban, or beach living)
Why renting vs. owning is often closer in cost than people think
The role of homeownership in building generational wealth
Common challenges buyers face in today’s market—and how to overcome them

Johnnie also highlights the mission behind True Home Solutions, including community education, financial literacy, and support programs for first-time buyers, veterans, and seniors.
