Anne Arundel Real Estate Market Statistics – October 2008
October 10th, 2008
Categories: Home Buying, Home Selling, Investing, Market Statistics
The National Association of REALTORS reported in late September that recent sales for existing homes declined slightly, to an estimated annual volume of 4.91 million units for 2008. Recent tightening in mortgage lending has created challenges for some of today’s home buyers. According to Freddie Mac, the thirty year fixed rate mortgage hovered around 6.5 percent during the month of August, up slightly from the month before.
Officials are hoping that recent actions taken by the Federal government will create stability in the housing market. Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of REALTORS, says, “With higher loan limits and a beefing up of the FHA program, all the mechanisms have been falling into place to increase mortgage availability.”

The Tao of Annapolis Real Estate
October 10th, 2008
Categories: Home Buying, Home Selling, Investing, Living in Annapolis
When will the local real estate market hit bottom and values resume their upward climb? What will be the impact of the federal bailout? Whose opinion should you listen to? Said Lao Tzu, “Those who have knowledge, don’t predict. Those who predict, don’t have knowledge.”
While we may not know when the market will turn, we do know that today offers tremendous buying opportunities – low interest rates, lots of inventory, and motivated sellers. And we live in a great place to own real estate, near our nation’s capital, paradise by the Chesapeake Bay.
If your long-term financial plan includes acquiring more real estate, observe the yin and yang – the dark chaos is accompanied by tremendous opportunity. Are you focused on the gloom or present to the opportunity?
Don’t miss the moment.
Some of our clients are now negotiating great deals to acquire properties with 100% owner financing and with lease-options, some are leverage existing assets to create down payments and getting great rates with bank financing. And many are waiting.
They diligently practice it.
When the average type of men hear Tao,
They half believe in it.
When the lowest type of men hear Tao,
They laugh heartily at it.
Without the laugh, there is no Tao.”
- Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu

How On Earth Can I Sell My House in Maryland Today?
September 18th, 2008
Categories: Home Buying, Home Selling, Investing
With the national and global financial markets in chaos, and consumer uncertainty at a record-high level, lots of people are wondering how they can make the move they want to make, especially if they have a house to sell.

Anne Arundel County Maryland Real Estate Market Statistics – August 2008
August 19th, 2008
Categories: Home Buying, Home Selling, Market Statistics
Despite the decrease, REALTORS® are reporting activity in all regions across the country. NAR president Richard F. Gaylord explains, “Timing the market can be very tricky, which is why home buyers should always have a long-term view to build wealth.”
|
To stimulate market activity, the Federal Housing Administration has increased loan limit guarantees for 2008. FHA programs are available with a modest 3 percent down payment, and allow borrowers more buying options when purchasing a home. The national median existing home price was reported at $215,100 in June, down from a year ago when the median price was $229,000 for all housing types.

How to Find The Best Contractors and Service Providers in and Around Annapolis Maryland
July 29th, 2008
Categories: Home Buying, Home Selling
As you may guess, my team and I receive many requests from friends and associates for referrals to professional trades and services in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County – everything from painters to attorneys.
Because we receive such a large number of requests, and because we operate our own business by referral, we have decided to commit some of our time and resources to compiling a Referral Directory that lists the finest individuals and companies serving our community.
With this in mind, we want your input! Chances are you know contractors, home repair persons, CPAs, doctors, attorneys, window cleaners, auto mechanics, etc. whose services have been exceptional and extremely valuable to you and your family. Speaking of people who do an excellent job, perhaps you provide a service you would like us to include in this Directory, which will be distributed to all our clients, friends and associates.
In any case, we will be mailing a questionnaire to the people who are in our Client Appreciation Program. When it arrives, please complete it and return it to us. Or, if you prefer, email us with your recommendations, as well as the referrals you will be needing in the next twelve months. If you are not in our Client Appreciation Program, and would like to be, please let us know! This is a great program where we keep in touch about real estate, send out regular mailings, and have fun events.
This Directory will list the most reliable and professional people we can find. We look forward to your input and plan to publish the Referral Directory within the next three or four months. We know it will be of great value to you and all our friends and clients.
Once again, we thank you for your business in the past, present, and future, and we look forward to providing you and the people you refer to us with the highest quality of service in the purchase, rental, or sale of real estate.

Anne Arundel County Maryland Real Estate Market Statistics – July 2008
July 29th, 2008
Categories: Home Buying, Home Selling, Market Statistics
The national median home price was reported at $208,600 in May. According to NAR President Richard Gaylord, “Home buyers are starting to get off the fence and into the market, drawn by drops in home prices in many areas and armed with greater access to affordable mortgages,” he said. “Today’s buyer plans to stay in a home for 10 years, which is a good strategy for building long-term wealth.”
|
Freddie Mac reported the national average 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.04 percent in May, up from 5.92 percent in April. Despite the recent increase, overall mortgage rates are down from 6.27 percent, available May 2007.
Existing home inventory is reported at 4.49 million units. According to Lawrence Yun, chief NAR economist, “The large supply of homes on the market clearly favors buyers, and it should take several months to draw the inventory down. Stabilization in home prices can only occur with buyers returning to the market, so we are encouraged by rising home sales, particularly in distressed markets.”
A number of areas nationally are experiencing increased activity over May 2007, including Sacramento, the San Fernando Valley and Monterey County in California; Sarasota, Florida, and Battle Creek, Michigan.
