This week we've seen so much upheavle in the financial market that home buyer's and seller's alike seem to be paralyzed by fear.  Do we try to sell our house?  Do we try to hold on?  Do we buy now or wait?  So many choices to choose from.  Thoughts are straying to Halloween and the holidays after that.  The market remains fairly stable with some increases in sales with the drops in interest rates, and a few more buyers searching for their first or next home.  I'm surprised I'm not seeing more individuals making the decision to buy with some of the seller funded downpayment programs going away at the end of September and with the increasing number of down payment assistance programs available.  The weather has started to cool down with moderate days and cool nights and people are thinkin... 10/04/2008

Labor Day is past and the white shoes are in the back of the closet and thoughts are straying to Halloween and the holidays after that.  The market remains fairly stable with some increases in sales with the drops in interest rates, and a few more buyers searching for their first or next home.  I'm surprised I'm not seeing more individuals making the decision to buy with some of the seller funded downpayment programs going away at the end of September and with the increasing number of down payment assistance programs available.  The weather has started to cool down with moderate days and cool nights and people are thinking about the end of summer and back to school and I think this may be having some cooling effect on the number of home buyers looking for new homes.  The number of new l... 09/20/2008

The market remains stable with some normal seasonal adjustments, with a few more buyers searching for their first or next home.  The weather has started to cool down with moderate days and cool nights and people are thinking about the end of summer and back to school and I think this may be having some cooling effect on the number of home buyers looking for new homes.  The number of new listings has increased slightly and the number of homes going under contract has also increased.  The numbers show a slowing in the market over all compared to this time last year.    It will be interesting to see how this all changes with the changes in the FHA and Jumbo loan limits and adjustments in the interest rates.  Overall, it's still a great time to buy. These figures are taken directly from our... 08/11/2008

The market remains stable with some normal seasonal adjustments, with a few more buyers searching for their first or next home.  The weather has finally improved to summer heat and people are thinking about vacations and I think this may be having some effect on the number of home buyers looking for new homes.  The number of new listings has increased and the number of homes going under contract has also increased.  The numbers boast an improvement in the housing market here in Maryland.  There is speculation though that this increase in market activity is just due to seasonal adjustments though rather than market conditions and the reduction in the federal lending rates.  It will be interesting to see how this all changes with the changes in the FHA and Jumbo loan limits and adjustment... 08/02/2008

The market made some adjustments this week and remains stable with normal seasonal adjustments, with more buyers searching for their first or next home.  This week showed a jump in the number of homes listed.  This could be partly due to the fact that school is now out and folks are looking to move before the beginning of the next school year.  The weather has finally improved to summer heat but here in Maryland remains wet and I think this may be having some effect on the number of home buyers looking for new homes.  The number of new listings has increased and the number of homes going under contract has also increased.  The numbers boast an improvement in the housing market here in Maryland.  There is speculation though that this increase in market activity is just due to seasonal ad... 07/01/2008

The market stabilized some more t his week, with more buyers searching for their first or next home and fewer sellers listing their homes for sale.  This week is the first week where we've seen a huge decline in the number of home owners listing their homes for sale.  The weather has been very wet and I think this may be having some effect on the number of home buyers looking for new homes.  The number of new listings has increased and the number of homes going under contract has also increased.  The numbers boast an improvement in the housing market here in Maryland.  There is speculation though that this increase in market activity is just due to seasonal adjustments though rather than market conditions and the reduction in the federal lending rates.  It will be interesting to see how... 06/08/2008
