Crofton Maryland Real Estate

Seasonal real estate for Maryland.  I can remember friends and agents from other areas asking me about the Crofton market and how it was affected by "moving season" and the "slow season" in Winter and thinking, that's just not us.  For the past 7 years we've had a very steady stream of buyers vying for a limited amount of homes for sale.  But, 2006 and now 2007 appear to be bringing Maryland and Anne Arundel County real estate back around to reality.   There are fewer buyers out there and by golly they have increased with the Spring season.  You have to take advantage of this seasonal influx by being over prepared when you go on the market.  Your home must be sparkling clean.  If your carpet is worn, replace it.  If your appliances are more than 10 years old replace them.  If your paint isn't picture perfect re-paint it.  (There are affordable ways to cover these items even if you don't have cash on hand).  And by all means stage that home to sell.  If you'd like more information on home staging feel free to contact us at www.TheRoskellyTeam.com.  We include home staging in our listing fee of 3%.  And we rank in the top 1% of county agents for days on market and sale price to asking price statistics.  Coincidence?  We think not.  Historically, staged homes sell faster and for more money.  It's a fact!
