Market Update for Glen Burnie, MD - Week Ending April 26, 2008 - 04/28/08 07:26 AM
The market made some great increases this week with spring, with more buyers searching for their first or next home.  The number of new listings has increased and the number of homes going under contract has also increased.  The numbers boast an improvement in the housing market here in Maryland.  There is speculation though that this increase in market activity is just due to seasonal adjustments though rather than market conditions and the reduction in the federal lending rates.  It will be interesting to see how this all changes with the changes in the FHA and Jumbo loan limits and adjustments … (0 comments)

A Day Out with the Trains - Baltimore's B&O Museum - 04/21/08 07:33 AM
Do you like trains as much as we love trains?  Almost from birth my youngest son Liam (now almost 10) has loved trains.  In February 2003 we had record breaking snowfalls and the roof on the museum collapsed and damaged much of the display, he saw this on the news and cried and wouldn't rest until I put him in the car and drove down there so he could see for himself.  From the time he was 3 we have had a family membership to the museum and visit often. 
The museum is located on the site of the old Mt. … (1 comments)

Investors are in Hiding - 04/19/08 09:56 PM
I specialize in working with investors and have for quite a few years, they have been my bread and butter while I work with a few regular home buyers and sellers I prefer investors since they seem to be more logical and it's about the numbers not the color of the paint.
A number of my sellers purchase properties at tax sale and then foreclose on the properties and take the property to judgement and then sell the judgement with the new owner taking the property to deed.  A lot of the properties we sell at auction and occasionally they come … (4 comments)

Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County Market Update for week ending April 12, 2008 - 04/16/08 01:17 PM
The market has really been heating up with spring, with more buyers searching for their first or next home.  The number of new listings has increased and the number of homes going under contract has also increased.  The numbers boast an improvement in the housing market here in Maryland.  How much of this is just due to seasonal adjustments though rather than market conditions and the reduction in the federal lending rates.  It will be interesting to see how this all changes with the changes in the FHA and Jumbo loan limits and the drop in the rates.

Spring is in the air in Baltimore - 04/14/08 07:37 AM
I love spring in Baltimore. 
Baltimore City has over 200 distinct neighborhoods and each has it's own character and personality.  In the spring they come alive with rebirth.
Ednor Gardens (pictured here), is conveniently located close to the center of the city and the streets are tree lined and flower lined through the spring and into the summer.  The homes are typically row homes, some brick, some stone and in a few different architectural styles and most have off street parking.  This community is typically a stable home owner community and affordably priced.  The homes and gardens are well maintained and it's … (3 comments)

Help Build Communities - 04/07/08 10:46 AM
Today's real estate market holds many opportunities for homebuyers. And there's even more buyer appeal once they understand and visualize the potential in certain homes, whether it's a fixer-upper or a foreclosed property.  Greater Baltimore has some great opportunities for potential homeowners to rebuild communities and take a vested interest in their neighborhoods through buying homes that need fix up.  There are some great loan programs out there for homeowners willing to take that step.  Some of these include the FHA 203K program, Fannie Mae Homestyles and the Purchase & RenovateSM financing program from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. These programs provide the opportunity … (0 comments)
