maryland: Appraisal Contingencies in Montgomery County, Maryland
- 08/27/13 07:32 AM
Why should someone use an appraisal contingency? It is a good idea to use an appraisal contingency when you are getting a loan. The buyer may still qualify for the loan, even if the house doesn't appraise and the buyer may be expected to use more cash than anticipated at settlement.
Buyers: Some people recommend to drop the appraisal contingency to be competitve in a multiple-offer situation; but make sure that you are willing to live with the consequences.
Sellers: If the buyer is counting on financing and doesn't have an appraisal contingency, be careful that you don't wait … (2 comments)
maryland: Blight in Montgomery County Maryland
- 08/26/13 02:18 AM
Neighboorhood Blight is unfortunate. Sometimes people loose their homes is an unfortunate consequence of the real estate market bubble everywhere in the country. There are many communities that have funds set asdie to buy and/or take care of homes or programs to assist the homeowners. Most often the banks that are letting homes languish on the market by not wanting to foreclose on them. Blighted homes are not good for communities or the house itself. They are the fault of a overheated market and circumstances that otherwise, would not lead to neglect. This particular home has the neighbors cutting the grass, but the weeds have grown … (1 comments)
maryland: Disclosure = Private Utility Assessments
- 08/23/13 01:50 PM
PRIVATE UTILITY ASSESSMENTS are growing in Montgomery County, Maryland as builders who are asked to fork over upfront funds for infrastructure development costs are creating these private utility assessments to push the cost onto buyers that is financed over many years. In Montgomery County, MD the seller is supposed to disclose these private utility company assessments, but sometimes they forget about it (even though there is an annual bill) or don't understand their relationship to the sale of their home. So how are we supposed to know if there is a private utility assessment on a property? There is no easy answer … (1 comments)

maryland: Planes, Trains, Automobiles and the Earthquake
- 08/23/11 08:56 AM
Many Government buildings and all the Monuments have been closed - and the National Cathedral. I am sad to report that one of the spikes of the National Cathedral (which I just looked at yesterday as I drove by) broke off. So sad, it is an area landmark - one of the tallest in the District of Columbia. The metro is operating, but has slowed down to less than 15 miles per hour. So it will be a long and slow ride for metro commuters. The government and many employers have let people go home early - which mean traffic jams. … (2 comments)
maryland: Earthquake vs. Cell Phones
- 08/23/11 08:43 AM
I would really like to know how the Earthquake in Virginia prevented our cell phones from working properly. I called and called and kept getting different people then the one I was calling. At first I thought I was losing my mind, but obviously it is not me. Many people reported their cell phones were not working at all or couldn't get any calls. The news says the cell phones are jammed. The polite rule is if you don't need to use your cell phone don't and let those who need to use it call. The positive news is that texts … (2 comments)

- 08/16/11 09:56 AM
Most parents, teachers, other school workers, and children in Montgomery County would love to have this little cheat sheet for Montgomery County School Schedule for 2011-2012.

This is also handy for commuters in the Montgomery County area, particularly the I270 corridor as traffic is always lighter when schools are closed.

- 09/07/10 04:23 PM
The secret to killing the SUPER stink bugs - outside the home Those of us who are living in states bordering Pennsylvania which is attributed to being the epi-center for the new "aggressive" stink bugs that are working their way into the United States are starting to see the populations build. What is really the horror is that not only do they come back every year, they will increase every year as they are spreading throughout the United States. What's a girl/guy to do? I've done more research than Active Rain blogging and talked to everyone from simple pest … (17 comments)

maryland: I don't need an agent because I'm buying a new home from a builder
- 08/29/10 02:26 AM
Buyers think that the nice builders will give the extra money to them. The builders have marketing buiilt into their bugets and the agents are marketing expenses. The agents know the questions to ask and the items that aren't really included in their "price", competing projects, and also the fact that they will need not one home inspection, but several. Even if you are paying the agent yourself, that amount of money is not much compared to the price of the house.
Get real! Why would I want to have an agent act as a middleman when I can … (5 comments)
maryland: Rosemont Recovers
- 07/26/10 09:04 AM
Was that a tornado? Apparently almost! According to some neighbors it was a bonafide tornado. The community which is in central Montgomery County, Maryland took quite a tumble yesterday, during a brief but powerful storm that literally ripped through the subdivision. The were literally dozens of trees down and uprooted, miscellaneous property damage, and telephone and powerlines down. However, power to the community at large was active as is typical during storms. "This community rarely loses power" said a neighbor. Another neighbor is quoted as saying "it literally took the tree up into the air swirling it around before it dumped … (3 comments)
