Good morning.  Thanks, Kristine, for sharing your beautiful photograph. We are having some hot weather in Maryland.  Real estate professionals need to keep a close eye on their clients to make sure they do not become ill in the heat.

 Blooming for you!

Hopefully June was a bit of an aberration in your area. Selling prices 10% or more below original asking price gives me some cause for concern. July should be better! Love the betterflies! Enjoy the day!

Good morning, Wayne.  Your observation on sold prices more than 10% below the original list price is correct.  That would normally mean a soft market that would be to the advantage of home buyers.  It has been a buyer's market in the area.

  Blooming for you!

It is sometimes good to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.

DYK? Mosquito Breeding Groundsmosquito
With all the rain we've been having, there are lots more potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Did you know that in order to breed, mosquitoes need a still water supply that's been around for about five to ten days? They don't breed in moving water or in places where standing water might evaporate in a day or two. You can interrupt that breeding process by dumping water every couple of days from birdbaths, pools, fishponds, unused flower pots, grill covers - anyplace around your property where water might accumulate. The City maintains a webpage with lots of information and helpful links about mosquitoes and the health risks they can present. Explore it all here.
