anne arundel county maryland: Saving Money on Home Renovations is Easier Than You Think - 03/31/09 10:06 AM
Whether your home is located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, or Anywhere, USA, REALTORS agree that bathroom and kitchen updates will not only improve the salability of your home... they will also give you the most bang for the buck.
According to the Cost vs. Value Report 2008, bathroom and kitchen renovations return more than 75 cents on the dollar. But that's assuming you're paying their estimated price of nearly $16,000 for a mid-range bathroom and more than $56,000 for a mid-range kitchen. If you're a do-it-yourselfer, the cost is simply the supplies needed to do the job. Your investment … (11 comments)

anne arundel county maryland: Resources for Davidsonville Newbies - 08/08/08 11:14 AM
'Just bought a Davidsonville home, settlement is over, the moving truck has come and gone... now what?
Unpacking and putting things away seems like a good place to start, but procrastination rears its ugly head... So you're off to the store - 'Gotta find some new ways to organize your clutter. If you don't do it when you move in and put things away, when will you?
If only there were a Container Store nearby, but there's not. Target, Home Goods, K-Mart and Walmart are probably your best bet unless you're military and have access to shopping at Fort George G. Meade, the USNA, or Andrews AFB.

anne arundel county maryland: Real Estate Market Study February 2008 - Odenton, MD (21113) - 03/13/08 09:59 PM
Are you an Odenton home seller or buyer? The answer to that question will determine your perspective on today's real estate market in Odenton! Here's what buyers are saying (or should be):
A few years ago, the press couldn't say enough about what a great real estate market it was. That was true for sellers, but NOT for home buyers. Now the shoe is on the other foot, as the saying goes. The press is moaning about what a terrible market it is (and most home sellers would agree), but IT'S A GREAT MARKET FOR HOME BUYERS!

There's more to relocating than finding a home. If you're anything like me, finding nearby shopping is pretty high on the priority list, once your boxes are unpacked. Even though you moved all your household goods here, there will probably be things you need - perhaps new window coverings, shelving, closet organizers, and maybe you'll even make an unplanned purchase or two...

As we moved to different parts of the country, compliments of the U.S. Navy, I was very excited to experience life in a new places. But I really missed winter, as I knew it, and I was glad to settle back in Maryland when Larry was stationed at the U.S. Naval Academy as an instructor. I guess each of us grows accustomed to the seasons, whereever we live, and relocation may require some adjustments to our expectations and maybe even our wardrobe.

Did I tell you about the time when movers packed wet coffee grounds from my sink?
Or another time when my un-emptied kitchen trash can got packed? (Week-old banana peels are not a pleasant surprise when you're unpacking.)

First a little golf trivia...
As a golfer, I'm sure you're familiar with the customary RED TEES for women, WHITE TEES for men, and BLUE TEES for Championship play. This system was actually the brainchild of Frank Emmet, Director of the District of Columbia Golf Association's junior activities in the 1920's and a member of the USGA Junior Championship Committee. But Frank Emmet's legacy reached beyond this to many generations of golfers in this area with his mantra On the links, … (8 comments)
