belair market status: REO - Take Everything That's Not Nailed Down (and some things that are)? - 08/21/08 10:29 PM
REO - Remove Every Option?
I had to write about this one today. 
Unless you've been living in a cave, you're well aware of the housing crisis in most parts of the country.  Here in lovely Bel Air, Maryland and surrounds, many of the houses currently on the market are foreclosures/bank-owned properties or as we pros like to call ‘em -
Real Estate Owned (REO). 
These are properties where the owners have defaulted on their loans and the bank has foreclosed. The bank now owns the home.  However, lately, I've personally been calling them Remove Every Option(s).
Why, you ask? 
Because … (7 comments)

belair market status: The Buyers Are Here! - 06/27/08 03:44 PM
In April, I talked about the fact that Buyers seemed to be very prevalent in the market place.  They were no longer sitting on the fence and the deals they were getting were exceptional.
 
Well 2 months later, I'm still the town crier as I run around Bel Air, enthusiastically yelling ",The Buyers are here, The Buyers are here!"
 
Now is truly an exceptional time in real estate history.  In my many years in the business, I've never seen so many incredible deals for Buyers.  Yep, in case you haven't heard the news, it's a Buyers Market.

belair market status: I See Another Addendum Coming - 04/03/08 07:25 AM
I'm psychic -- my husband might say I'm psycho, but that's a whole different post.
I'm like, um, Carnac the Magnificent (am I dating myself, or what?) because I see yet another Addendum being added to our already overwhelming Residential Contract of Sale.
Let's see, we already have upwards of 30 plus pages (contract and assorted addendae) that we need to explain in detail to our deer-in-the-headlights-looking clients and now it'll be 30 plus plus.
 
Did you hear about the buyer that is suing the seller of an Arizona home the buyer bought nearly three years ago because the buyer felt the … (60 comments)

belair market status: Soooo..How's The Market? - 03/17/08 08:25 PM
So, how's the market?
I hear this question at least once a day and I'm happy to answer it each and every time. 
Moreover, although it seems to be the obligatory question asked as soon as anyone knows I'm a REALTOR (and I have no idea how they find out since I tell everybody I meet w/in seconds of meeting them-HaHaHa!), it just never gets old (O.K., I'm stretching a little here).
So, how's the market?  These days, I'm answering the question thusly--
The market's insane!  If you're a buyer and you're still sitting on the fence, you'd better get the hell … (6 comments)

belair market status: NOTE TO BUYERS: You'll Get Some Nasty Splinters Sitting On That Fence... - 01/08/08 12:53 PM
 
...And A Few Other Reasons It's a Good Tme To Buy Your Next Home
 
Choices.  There are a lot of great properties to choose from. In Bel Air, there's a record 9 months worth of inventory alone. The possibilities for a good deal seem endless right now. Prices.  Because of the tremendous inventory of homes for sale, home sellers are looking for an edge over the competition and the possibility of a home buyer snagging a great deal is very high right now. Cost.  Mortgage interest rates are at a great low.  That's right, they are low and that … (3 comments)

belair market status: The Tax Man Cometh - 01/05/08 02:16 PM
Just got my new Assessment Notice in the mail the other day from our wonderful Department of Assessments and Taxation.
 
 Funny as HELL...
No, seriously, I had a good laugh at the ridiculous figure that Maryland's Department of Assessments and Taxation (DAT) thought represented the "New Market Value" of our home.
Yeah, O.K., ya'll over at the DAT are about a day late and a dollar long, IMHO. I would've have been able to work with you and this asininely overinflated figure about a year and a half ago, but it ain't flying today.
The assessed value is more than … (6 comments)
