frederick county maryland real estate: January 2024 MARYLAND Housing Statistics - 03/02/24 09:41 AM

The spring market promises to be a strong one, with the dip in interest rates and overall economic strength, the climate is the brightest it has been in the past few years for those considering buying, selling, investing, or downsizing. 
 
While the number of transactions is below seasonal levels, the low number of new resale listings coming on the market is creating a shortage of available properties in many price ranges in our market area. Pending and sold numbers are down and with the low supply of inventory and the buyer demand in the more affordable and mid-price ranges, home prices are heading … (4 comments)

frederick county maryland real estate: NOVEMBER 2023 MARYLAND Housing Statistics - 12/27/23 11:45 AM
 
Prices remain high in our region because demand for homes continues to outpace the supply. Many first-time home buyers have been shut out of the market with mortgage rates that have more than doubled in the past two years increasing from around 3.1 percent to about 7 percent, making it that much pricier to purchase a home. However, the markets are currently obsessed with inflation and the future course of monetary policy. Therefore any news that reinforces the notion that inflation is subsiding and the Fed is done raising interest rates and they begin to fall is being received positively. The holiday season housing … (9 comments)

As we enter the holiday season the housing market is feeling the affects of a normal seasonal cycle with fewer transactions.

frederick county maryland real estate: The land mine in the back yard - 03/23/23 05:09 AM
Early in 2021, a young couple with three young boys looking for their first home was referred to me by a friend. They were living in their parent's small apartment in the Washington DC suburbs. The market had very limited inventory for entry-level purchasers as we were coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic period. We toured a number of properties throughout January and February many of which went under contract before the couple could decide if the home was right for their family. In mid-March a single family on a nice corner lot with a yard ideal for the boys to … (16 comments)
