la plata: Wal-Mart Supercenter Annexation Approved in La Plata, MD - 09/29/11 03:18 PM
Last night the La Plata town council approved, 3-2, the motion to annex the land proposed for use in building a new Wal-Mart Supercenter in La Plata, MD.
I already hate shopping at Wal-Mart, and a supercenter isn't going to make me hate it less. (Look honey, this is where small businesses used to be until Wal-Mart ran them out of business!) Do we need a supercenter in La Plata? Do we even WANT one?
The La Plata town council seems to think so, as does the Mayor Roy Hale, who cast the tie-breaking vote. This isn't the final word as … (2 comments)

la plata: Looking for a Short Sale Expert in Southern Maryland? Here's What You Need To Know! - 11/02/10 12:35 PM
A lot of people in Southern Maryland are facing some very hard decisions right now. Being Foreclosed on is a process that can be embarrassing, humiliating, it destroys good credit records, and is often a very traumatic experience for good people swallowed up by bad loans. There are options to avoid situations like this if you find you are behind on your mortgage, however, and one of those options is to consider doing a Short Sale. A Short Sale is a process by which the homeowner agrees to sell their home prior to foreclosure at a price that is less than … (0 comments)

la plata: Selling a Short Sale in Southern Maryland? The Art of the Hardship Letter - 11/14/08 01:16 AM
There's been a huge increase in Southern Maryland Short Sales over the last year thanks to the ongoing housing crisis. More often than not, they end up as foreclosures, many times because the path to negotiating is at best, murky. When working with a lender to get a short sale agreement, there are several things that they are going to ask for, including tax returns, financial statements, investment records, etc. They're also going to ask for a hardship letter.
So what is a "Hardship Letter", exactly? It's essentially a personal letter to the bank explaining why you can't possibly afford to … (0 comments)

la plata: Charles County Home Sales Report for October, 2008 - 11/04/08 01:13 AM

Real estate sales in Charles County, MD have been on a roller coaster ride recently. Unfortunately, the last year has been more of a plunge than a climb. It's left a lot of homeowners asking "what happened?" and just as many buyers waiting for the market to bottom out. We could talk for hours about the market, but here's the gist of what's happening:
Average time on market, which is the amount of time it takes a home to sell, is up to almost 160 days. This is a record high, and is likely to climb as we head into … (0 comments)

la plata: Are Sellers in your area "Cat Juggling"? (Video Included) - 08/27/08 05:19 AM
Why are so many homes sitting on the Southern Maryland real estate market without a buyer? The answer is simple: The sellers are cat juggling!

Remember the Steve Martin movie "The Jerk"? Father Carlos Las Vegas De Cordoba shows Navin Johnson (Martin) an absurd video clip of cat juggling and Martin proceeds to cut a big fat check to Father Carlos to combat the evil cat jugglers. It's funny because the idea of cat juggling is absurd, and paying a church to stop it is even dumber.
Overpricing your home in a buyers market is a lot like cat juggling. … (0 comments)

     When Charles County started the Rosewick Road project, the budget for Phase 2 was supposed to total $5.7 million dollars.  Add an extra $432,000 to that, and don't forget that the project was due for completion in April of LAST YEAR.  They are estimating that April of 2009 will be the targeted completion date with the unanticipated cost overruns.

    It's amazing how much commercial growth is happening in La Plata, MD, and Charles County in general.  Rosewick Crossing is the latest addition to La Plata's shopping choices.  As you may or may not know, Lowe's hardware store has already opened, and construction on the Giant grocery store is wrapping up as I speak type.

la plata: Charles County is a great place to get ahead! - 04/26/08 04:13 AM
     Even Forbes Magazine thinks so!  Forbes recently listed Charles County, MD as one of it's top 10 places to "get ahead" in the United States!      Forbes listed Charles County as #5 on their list because:
...economic activity in Charles County has been on the upswing since 2000. Jobs have climbed a modest 2.3% a year, and incomes are up 29%, to $80,179. The combination of rapid income growth and slow job growth suggests that economic gains from D.C. commuters moving to the area have affected the data.

la plata: The first step to selling your home: Finding A Price ~Part 2 of the Savvy Seller Series~ - 04/24/08 06:12 AM
    The Real Estate Market in Charles County is tough right now, period.  Even experienced tried and true agents are seeing less sales, less showings, less of everything but listings!  It underscores how hard it is for people who are in the process of selling their home, or getting ready to put their home on the market.
    People often think that their home is the nicest one on the block(it's a natural bias), and it can be difficult to examine their home critically.  It's important to understand that this is a natural feeling, but selling a home is … (1 comments)
