towson house values: Baltimore Home Sales Down 19.4% in September 2010 - 10/20/10 08:36 AM
Like many areas of the country, Baltimore saw home sales slide in September 2010 as a whole.
There were a little over 1700 homes sold last month, compared to 2117 last year. Not surprisingly, much of this is attributed to the tax credit ending, as this point last year was the original deadline for settlement.
Baltimore County alone saw a drop of 25.7% in number of homes sold and a price drop of 1.4%, while Baltimore City PRICES dropped 26%, and number of homes sold 17%.
Two areas of Baltimore County bucked the trend, while another in between fell farther than … (4 comments)

towson house values: Towson Named One of Top 25 Affluent Cities for Singles - 07/28/10 01:52 PM
Towson, Maryland was named one of the top 25 affluent cities for singles to live in by CNNMoney last week.
Towson came in at #14.
This was based on income per single household in the cities, and the rate of singles to families. Towson's median family income is $102,302 with 34.5% of the households being individuals.
To live in Towson is to live in convenience, and many choose it for its' proximity to both Baltimore City, the Towson area colleges, and ease for travel to both the 695 Beltway and Interstate 95.
Located in Towson is the Towson Town Center, with … (1 comments)

towson house values: Old Towson Jail to Be New West Towson Pool - 06/15/09 03:33 PM
An old jail in my town of Towson, Maryland is going to have a new life as a pool, office space, and hopefully a cafe.
Placed on the National Historical Registry in 1991, the Warden's building, built in 1858, is being renovated to preserve the original details while providing modern amenities.
I am excited that this 1.8 acres is going to be something so useful to the community. Though the pool is going to be private, the public schools around and camps/etc will have access to use. The local senior center will be offered largely discounted memberships.
The best part for … (6 comments)

towson house values: More Towson Zestimates are Off -- one by more than $1.5 MILLION! - 05/25/09 06:43 PM
I realize I have written a lot about the Towson Zestimates and how much they have been off in my area.
It is not that I mean to harp, but as most of my family & friends know, I am an expert when it comes to house values in Towson.
Enter this weekend, with cookouts and family time galore. As usual, the discussion goes to real estate.
"I was passing this on the way to your house - how much is it on for?"
Of course, I am ready with that information:
"$2,495,000."
"How about the small one near Charles Street?" … (3 comments)

towson house values: Zillow Zestimates in Towson May be Misleading - 03/02/09 08:11 PM
After doing some research, I have found the reasons that the Zestimates on some properties may be very much off.
Baltimore County here in MD doesn't provide enough in the public records for the Zillow Zestimating calculations to work properly.
A listing I have currently is on the market in Hunt Valley for $550,000. The true market value is not too far off from that listing price. Zillow's Zestimates' basics are missing a half bath, hardwood floors, and a few other items. When "claiming" the home, and adding the "upgrades" it brings the price up to $667,000, which is certainly far … (3 comments)

towson house values: House in Towson Sells and I Rejoice! - 02/17/09 11:18 AM
Even though it is not my listing, I can't help but be happy that this house sold. For almost a year I have driven past its sign at least once a day, and was so excited to see the Under Contract sign yesterday morning.
What made it sell finally? Price, I am sure!
This was a cute cape cod, single family home with a great addition off the back, and fantastic curb appeal, this home was for sale much longer than expected. Yes, it has its drawbacks, namely the busy road, but it is also very conveniently located in close walking distance to … (0 comments)

towson house values: Baltimore Housing Market Gaining Strength - 02/11/09 05:53 PM
I posted a new blog on my website about the Baltimore Housing Market and how it seems to be picking up. People are calling about my withdrawn properties (pulled off to paint and stage) and contracts are beginning to flow at the office.
Contracts are starting to flow in & out of my Timonium Real Estate Office. Baltimore Real Estate buyers are starting to realize that they need to get in NOW while the prices AND interest rates are LOW.
So, yes, I am optimistic and excited. There is SO much opportunity in this Baltimore real estate market whether in the … (0 comments)

towson house values: Towson House Values - 02/09/09 10:54 AM
I posted a blog at my website about Towson House Values, Timonium House Values, and a success story of a home selling VERY QUICKLY in Timonium based on following pricing trends!
Are your sellers being more realistic now? Are they starting to price AHEAD of the market instead of chasing it? Or are they still overpricing based on what things sold for 4-5 months ago?
With an average of 9 months inventory in Baltimore County, two that I have listed sold in 30 days or less because they paid attention to the statistics and priced AHEAD of it.
Hoping your sellers … (0 comments)
