Crofton real estate is not what it used to be, and home sellers are struggling right now,.  Yet most Crofton homeowners remain positive, confident in the desirability of our community and their own home.

Crofton is a unique place to live, so close to the two major cities of Baltimore and Washington, D.C., but it's a close-knit community with the ambiance of a small town.  Residents have a short commute to work, and they come home to their choice of two country clubs with golf courses, three pools (not counting the one at Crofton Village or the apartment complexes), and more organized activities than anyone has time to join.  American flags fly over Crofton Parkway, and the Crofton Village Green hosts free Sunday night concerts;  then, of course, there are the parades and special events like the Tour d'Crofton bike race and Santa's arrival by fire truck each year.

When you look at this chart of real estate activity, remember the positive - it's only a matter of time 'til the pent up demand for life in our community drives Prices back up and Days on Market back down.  In the meantime, here's how it looked for Crofton Real Estate last month:
