crofton homes: Showings Are "Hot" in The Summer - Is Your Home the "Cool" One? - 06/09/10 08:30 AM
That extra living space in your yard or on your porch is a real bonus when it comes to showing and selling your home. It's a selling point that few Crofton area home buyers consider during the winter months. So...
Help your prospective buyer imagine themselves living and entertaining in and outside your home by following these suggestions from Leesa Finley, The Wake Forest House Chick:

crofton homes: Crofton MD Real Estate - Market Report for July 2007 - 08/10/07 11:31 AM
CROFTON MD 21114
Crofton home prices dropped in July, putting her in good company with communities across the nation (although the number of homes sold in July 2007 exceeded those in 2006). The news is particularly discouraging, given that the current mortgage market debacle is not reflected in last month's statistics. Given the downward direction in prices for July, continually expanding inventory, and now the tightening of mortgage criteria, sellers and buyers alike could be in for some tough times for the remainder of the year.
Yet, as you can see from this chart, the difference in Crofton's average sold price from last year has not … (4 comments)

crofton homes: ActiveRain vs. Blogger - 06/16/07 07:08 AM
Several months ago, I received an email from Carolyn Nelson, offering to help me get started with blogging. Her timing was perfect, following within days the warnings from my son, Steve, that I would be left in the real estate dust if I didn't start blogging. (Moment of motherly pride here: He is the founder of a very successful online business, buySAFE.com, and he knows a lot about consumer expectations.)
So I accepted Carolyn's offer, and she immediately set up an account for me with Blogger. I will always be eternally grateful to Carolyn for giving me a headstart on this - I … (17 comments)

crofton homes: Crofton MD - Market Report for May 2007 - 06/10/07 12:16 PM
CROFTON MD 21114
Each month, when new sales statistics are published by the Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, Inc. (MRIS) - the multiple listing service for Crofton (21114) - the first thing I look at is the Total New Listings (76) and the Total New Contracts (41). If these numbers are not close, then I can predict the future. How, you might ask? Well, it's a case of Supply and Demand.
If 76 property owners in Crofton put their homes on the market in a month when only 41 homebuyers elect to purchase a home, the inventory of homes for sale continues to grow. … (0 comments)

crofton homes: Home buyers, this is no time to beware! - 05/20/07 07:45 AM
After spending a few hours online to post local sales statistics today, I can't believe the market isn't FLOODED with home buyers! We real estate agents must not be communicating to buyers exactly how great a time it is to get out there and buy a home.
Interest rates are still very low, job security (in the DC-Baltimore region) is great, home prices are down, and home sellers are often giving away everything including a brand new kitchen sink! Sellers are taking huge price reductions, offering incentives such as country club memberships or a year's worth of condo fees, paying buyer's closing costs... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING … (4 comments)

crofton homes: Crofton MD - Market Report for April 2007 - 05/20/07 06:24 AM
CROFTON MD 21114
Yikes! 93 new listings and 31 listings sold! Three times as many new listings as sales in the month of April in the Crofton (21114) zipcode. Now THAT is something to be concerned about. During my 33 years in Crofton real estate, it has never been more important for home sellers to choose an experienced real estate agent who knows how to get results in a "buyer's market".
Okay, let's be more objective now and look at the facts (comparing April 2007 with April 2006):
Total sold dollar volume: DOWN 16.29%Average sold price: UP .12%Median sold price: DOWN 5.05%Total units sold: … (0 comments)

Crofton, Maryland - It's a Wonderful Place to Live!
Crofton residents enjoy the cherry tree-lined streets in Spring, a crafts fair and Boy Scout-sponsored chicken barbeque at the Village Green in Fall, the annual Christmas tree lighting in front of Crofton Country Club, plus lots of organizations and year-round activities for every age group from kids to seniors.

crofton homes: Don't shoot the messenger! - 04/21/07 10:18 AM
Are you worried that your prospective seller won't like the truth, and it could cost you the listing? In other words, if they don't like the message, they might "shoot the messenger" -
How do you handle it when you walk into a prospective seller's home and your reaction is something to the effect of...
Whew, this house stinks! I can't breathe! I need fresh air! This place looks like an annex to the city dump! Has your bathtub ever been cleaned since you moved in (15 years ago)? You want how much for this house? You've got to be kidding! One, two, three, four, five, … (41 comments)

crofton homes: Anne Arundel County MD - Market Report for March 2007 - 04/11/07 07:37 AM
ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY MD
MRIS, the regional multiple listing service for 25 local Associations/Boards of Realtors in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, D.C. and West Virginia, has just released sales statistics for March 2007. It's not surprising to anyone working in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, to see that everything is down EXCEPT days on market, when compared with last year. What is surprising is the fact that it's barely down - the sales figures are really almost stable. I'm certain that agents in other markets around the country would be very pleased to have numbers like these:
Total sold dollar volume is down 2.91% from March 2006 … (0 comments)

crofton homes: Where in the world is Crofton, MD? - 04/10/07 09:09 AM
CROFTON MD 21114
Who says that online marketing doesn't work? Well, its effectiveness depends on two primary factors: Target marketing - i.e. appropriate marketing for the online venue - and follow-up. Let's talk about TARGET MARKETING online for now, and leave follow-up for another day.
When you list a home, you probably give some thought to the best way of reaching likely buyers and target market accordingly. Let's use mailings as an example: In the case of a starter home, you might decide to send photo postcards to a nearby rental community. When you list a waterfront home, you might send mailers to people who live in … (1 comments)
