Anne Arundel Real Estate Market Statistics – October 2008

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.”

Here are some client reviews of Carlyn Lowery…

“Carlyn got us a quick sale above the asking price. She qualified prospects well, used a professional photographer for advertising photos, and provided expert advice during negotiations. Carlyn is what other Realtors aspire to be!”
– Paul Donnelly

“As first time home buyers, Carlyn Lowery was very attentive to our basic needs of walking us through each step of the home buying process from a novice standpoint. The long detailed list of items due at specific times from the start of the contract all the way through to the week of closing was greatly appreciated. It was great having an agent who took the time to clearly lay this all out for us. End result – a very smooth time at settlement. No surprises!”
– Ann Hannam

“We wanted a professional who would work with us to sell our home
quickly for a good price and protect our interests as sellers through the process.
Carlyn’s business acumen is her (and will be your) greatest asset.”
– Sue Bogard

“Carlyn was wonderful. She was organized, prepared, and knew the steps to take to sell our home quickly and used a wide array of marketing to get the job done. She gave great advice
during each of the phases, and in particular on the negotiation.”
– Michael Morgan
