bowie maryland real estate: Bowie MD - Is the Real Estate Market Improving Yet? - 06/17/10 11:37 PM
The real estate market in Belair at Bowie (zip code 20715) has gone through some rough times in the past year, with way too many foreclosures, short sales and unsold homes.
The Bowie real estate statistics for May contained some good news, however, probably the result of sales prior to the tax credit expiring on April 30, 2010.
Median Sale Prices and Average Sale Prices - Both UP over May 2009 AND the previous month, April 2010.
Units Sold - UP compared to May 2009 AND the exact same as April 2010. (These are closings of contracts written in previous weeks … (7 comments)

bowie maryland real estate: An ActiveRain Referral That Made EVERYONE Happy! - 07/29/08 12:41 PM
Jim and Ellen Crawford, of RE/MAX Greater Atlanta, contacted me a few months ago about a prospective listing in Bowie, Maryland. We kept in touch, as weeks went by, since the seller wasn't quite ready to make the commitment to sell her home of 40 years.
Finally, the "okay" came, and I contacted the seller and her daughter, a friend of Jim and Ellen's who was helping her mother prepare for relocation to North Carolina. My husband and I went by a few days before the scheduled listing appointment so I could take some exterior photos and we were pleasantly surprised … (52 comments)

bowie maryland real estate: A Happy Beginning - At Last! - 06/03/08 08:36 AM
Over the past few months you may have seen my blogs about unfortunate housing experiences my son and his family have faced recently. If you missed them, here are the links:
House # 1 - Tenants Faced With Foreclosure - Lives Turned Upside Down House # 2 - When Your House Bleeds Sewage - Insurance & Warranty Provide Relief
Last weekend, when tornado warnings were announced for the area, we all knew the likelihood was great that my son's next house - scheduled for move-in on June 1 - would surely be hit, based on their recent experiences. Fortunately, no tornado materialized. So … (18 comments)

bowie maryland real estate: When Your House Bleeds Sewage - Insurance & Warranty Provide Relief - 04/17/08 03:44 PM
BOWIE MARYLAND HOME BLEEDS SEWAGE
An eye-catching title or living a nightmare, depending on whether it's your house or someone else's.
The same people I introduced to you a few weeks ago in another blog - Tenants Faced With Foreclosure - Lives Turned Upside Down - are now renting a nearby home in Bowie, Maryland, that is literally bleeding sewage: Sewage seeping up between the planks of wood flooring, sewage coming out of the walls, sewage backing up through the toilets and drains, sewage seeping outside between the slab foundation and structure of the house.
So much for the hoped-for blog about everything turning out fine … (19 comments)

bowie maryland real estate: Belair at Bowie - A Levitt and Sons Community - 04/04/08 08:28 PM
Relocating to the Washington-Baltimore area from another part of the country? You may notice that many Bowie homes are similar to other neighborhoods in Maryland including nearby Crofton, Largo, Laurel, Columbia and Wheaton.
In fact, Belair at Bowie may resemble a place you previously lived in New York or New Jersey, Virginia or Pennsylvania - literally hundreds of communities, with many of the same floorplans and architectural designs, were built in hundreds of communities by Levitt and Sons. In fact, the company is still in business as Levitt Corporation, 36 years after the family company was sold.
Few current Bowie residents are old enough to remember Pete Seeger's hit recording in 1963, Little Boxes, but … (3 comments)

bowie maryland real estate: Bowie Maryland Real Estate Market Update - February 2008 - 03/24/08 09:20 PM
If you're thinking of selling your Bowie home any time soon, you have a lot of competition in the 20715 zipcode - there are 199 homes currently for sale. Of those, 181 are detached homes ranging from $239,500 for an Ardsley model (Levitt cape cod) to newer large homes in the $900,000's. Since only 13 homes sold during February in the 20715 zipcode, that's an inventory that could take 15 months to sell, assuming no new listings come on the market.
It's an understatement to say it's never been more important to have your home priced right, in GREAT condition, and listed with an experienced agent.
Here's a breakdown … (5 comments)

bowie maryland real estate: Tenants Faced With Foreclosure - Lives Turned Upside Down - 03/05/08 08:34 AM
What happens to tenants when their landlord fails to make the mortage payment? One of my clients is learning the answer to this question the hard way. He's living through it.
Let's back up two years to March 2006, when I rented a nice 4-bedroom colonial in Bowie, Maryland, to Tom and his family. After two years in a townhome, this family of five was no less excited about their new home than any homebuyer. This wonderful home gave them a yard, a home office, a playroom, and an updated kitchen. The commute to work was shorter, the schools were good, and they could enjoy the security of a … (29 comments)
