solomons real estate: Solomons, Maryland - Amazing Sunsets - 10/24/12 02:23 AM
Solomons, Maryland - Amazing Sunsets. When I came to my present broker, I knew that our location offered much to those selling or seeking waterfront properties in Southern Maryland. However, I didn't think very much at the time about the quality of life just being in the office would bring to me. I now have a collection of amazing photos from this beautiful spot. Here is one of many incredible sunsets on Solomons Island, Maryland:

solomons real estate: How’s the Market ? – Beware of Generalizations - 10/03/12 03:08 AM
How’s the Market ? – Beware of Generalizations.  As a Realtor, the one question that I am most often asked by friends and people I meet - foremost in people’s minds - is “How’s the Market?”.  Well, that question is one that I can always answer with some specifics about the Calvert and St. Mary’s counties real estate markets.
Calvert County median sales price YTD(August)
$280,000 vs. $278,000 in 2011, +.7%
 
St. Mary's County median sales price YTD(August)
 
$269,900 vs. $255,000 in 2011, +5.8%
 
 
However, that discussion evolves beyond the local markets as I feel that people … (4 comments)

solomons real estate: Calvert County, MD - I Know, I Know - Who Wants to Read Blogs About Market Stats? - 08/13/12 03:40 AM
Calvert County, MD - I Know, I Know - Who Wants to Read Blogs About Market Stats?- - Stats are dry. Stats are boring. I know, but if they are analyzed in a meaningful way and applied to your specific situation, however tempted you might be to snooze, they can be a valuable tool. 
Notice I use the word tool. Many times several tools have to be used to complete a job. When the job is formulating a sound real estate decision, stats are a tool - a piece of the puzzle, and can be a very helpful one at that.

I Wish We Had/I'm Glad We Did - In this day when so many buyers are still hesitant to pull the trigger it makes me wonder how many of them will have regrets at some point or, on the flip side, how many will have overwhelmingly positive feelings about the real estate decisions they have made should they decide to buy in this market that offers incredible opportunity.

 
Having sold and bought a home in 2006, at the height of the market as well as the turning point of the market (in our area at the time), today I … (2 comments)

solomons real estate: Enjoy a Spring Staycation on Maryland's Eastern Shore - - 03/14/12 11:55 PM
Just had to share Margaret Woda's blog on the great getaway opportunities on the Eastern Shore. Maryland offers many "staycation" opportunities. Living in Solomons, I'm a bit partial to Southern Maryland, but I have spent a lot of time on the Eastern Shore and in Western Maryland  which are great places for a getaway close to home. Maryland offers a lot of getaway variety and is located perfectly on the mid-atlantic providing opportunity for those traveling on the East Coast.
 
Take a ride across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and enjoy a "staycation" on Maryland's Eastern Shore during the coming weeks and months.

solomons real estate: Questions to Ask When Buying a Condo - 03/06/12 03:05 AM
Questions to Ask When Buying a Condo - For those who have considered buying a condo, there usually are additional questions they will want to have answered that are specific to condominium ownership as opposed to owning a single family home. Owning a condominium provides many benefits with buyers pursuing this option in many cases to eliminate exterior maintenance of a home creating more spare time for relaxation and freedom from concerns about how the ongoing maintenance a home requires is going to get done.
    
 However, there are things condominium buyers will want to get information and clarification on to ensure … (0 comments)
