What's Happening
The Waldorf, Maryland housing market may be slow, but there seems to be a ton of buzz being generated by the local foreclosure real estate sales market! A quick check of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) shows that there are currently 31 vacant, bank owned (REO, or Real Estate Owned) homes for sale in Waldorf.
Here's what's unique about the Waldorf market: 5 of those 31 homes have been listed in the last 31 days. In that same 31 day period, 7 foreclosed homes in Waldorf were sold by banks. This means that more foreclosures were sold than were put on the market!
A Tipping Of The Scales?
It's a concept of supply and demand, and for the first time in over a year, demand is outstripping supply. Indicators like this are the early signs that we *might* be looking at the beginning of a balance returning to the real estate market.
You see, we need to see the sales volume out-pace the listing volume in order to balance the scales here. Smart buyers are seeing the value in a little bit of "sweat equity" and buying a foreclosure seems to be the "in" thing to do for some folks. Our foreclosure experts have been immensely successful in getting banks to cut their prices and make a deal with able buyers!
