All home buyers that plan to use mortgage financing should obtain pre-approval for financing as the first step in the purchase process. Investors should also follow this advice since investor financing is still difficult for many because of the lender limits on the number of financed properties.  Please ask us for a referral to a loan officer if you do not have an existing relationship with a mortgage lender.

Roy, your real estate market statistics are very detail, it seems like prices are down and more properties were sold than last year.

Good Friday morning, Kwee.  Thanks for your comments.  Prince George's County has experienced an unusually high number of foreclosures.  It will take some time before the market returns to normal.  In the meantime, there is no shortage of bargains for real estate investors and home buyers.

Good Morning Roy, we are looking for a real estate investment in Bowie, but I noticed there were none.  Is Bowie in a PG county bubble of sorts?  We are looking for the "M" area, which has lower end homes but great schools.  Thanks, Angela
