bethesda real estate: Bethesda 20816 February 2011 Market Report - 03/18/11 10:58 AM
Year to Date - 1st Quarter
 
Active inventory is counted one month in arrears but all the other numbers are current to date.
 
Overall days on market are up from last year by 35%. Visually it's hard to understand from that large spike in Feb of 2010 but the average DOM in 2010 were 26 and they are currently an average of 35. Buyers are moving very quickly on well priced properties in the condition they want but for anything that is priced where the market won't bear it, there will be a longer marketing time.

bethesda real estate: Mr. Seller - You are Invisible to Buyers - 12/13/10 05:16 PM
I met some great folks over the weekend who've been reading my website for a while and have seen me around the Internet. Pretty cool.
They are looking at one Bethesda neighborhood in particular so when a very low priced house came up they really knew to jump on it. But on a busy street, not quite in the neighborhood proper... Enough objections that price is still not quite good enough to just dive in.
There is one other house that has been on the market for 90 days or so and I suggested we go see it, so they can … (0 comments)

bethesda real estate: The Plight of the Condos - 06/24/10 10:56 AM
I recently had this breeze of a sale. We had scouted out every condo for sale in Bethesda and settled on Crescent Plaza, right in the heart of downtown Bethesda as a new investment condo. Price was fantastic. Sellers found a place to live fairly quickly. Listing agent was a dream to work with.... 
Enter havoc. About 10 days before settlement the lender, a Credit Union, sent a note that sent chills down my spine. Unwarrantable condo. Investor ratios are off, self managed and not enough in reserves. We had already asked these questions to ensure that the investor ratios would … (0 comments)

bethesda real estate: I'm Not Buying Your House - I'm Your Listing Agent - 05/24/10 09:56 AM
Some days I feel like banging my head against the wall.
I heard a friend say recently that she didn't understand why her neighbor's house had not sold. After all, they went with the Realtor who gave them the highest price.  Said just like that.  Never once crossed  her mind how inconsistent with success that was and she had no understanding whatsoever that her neighbor was likely "bought" with a too high price that the agent knew he couldn't bring in.
Thus the head banging.  How do I counter the assumption that people have that we as agents are going to … (37 comments)

bethesda real estate: Preview of 5009 Sangamore Road MC7322815- Bethesda Real Estate in Sumner - 05/03/10 09:18 PM
I personally preview every home for sale in Sumner so  that when buyers are looking for homes with certain features I know right away what might work well for them.   Because I see so many of the listings in the area I can also help sellers understand why one home might have commanded more than another.  While we can look at many, many pictures of homes on line there is nothing like being physically present in a house to understand how it will work as someone’s home.
If you would like me to put my neighborhood expertise and experience in Sumner … (0 comments)

bethesda real estate: Preview 6208 Newburn Drive, Bethesda, MD 20816 - 03/23/10 10:25 PM
MC7270785 I have been previewing a lot of Bethesda homes for sale this week.  This house had gone under contract quickly when it first came on but the buyer backed out  due to a slightly elevated radon reading.  The sellers agreed to remediate and it should have been a no brainer!  There is radon in our entire area and to think that you could find a home anywhere that didn't have radon currently or have the potential to have radon is really unrealistic.
Someone else will get the opportunity to own this really good Woodacres home with a two story addition … (1 comments)
