Anne Arundel County Real Estate Market Update December 2011

Here are the latest numbers on home sales, for November 2011 vs November 2010 for Anne Arundel County:

Average Discount Off Original Price: 9.62%

Average Days on the Market: 123 (up 4.24%)

Number of Homes for Sale: 2,941 (down 11.68%)

Total Sales: $125,812,587 (up 5.92%)

Average Sold Price: $349,479 (up 8.57%)

(Source: Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, Inc. – MLS Resale Data Copyright 2011 – Information deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed.)

The numbers show signs of market strength as compared to last year, with lower inventory, higher sales volume, and higher average sold price.  With those positives, most sellers don’t mind the higher average time on market!

The trend continues of many people choosing to stay in their current homes, and making home improvements while the contractors are less busy. (Let me know if you need an introduction to a good contractor.  I know lots of them, and they appreciate the referrals, too.)

Others are finding it’s a great time to take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate a good purchase on a new home.  Of course, it’s not as easy to sell.  Good staging and marketing make all the difference.

To beat the averages, get good advice as you plan your next move.

Annapolis Boat Shows and Homes for Rent

Annapolis Boat Show 2011

Annapolis Boat Show 2011

The boat shows were such fun, not only seeing the boats, also getting together with friends and clients!  Shopping for water front and water privileged homes around Annapolis, we found some nice buys.

I also really enjoyed touring the yachts including some of my favorites… Hinckleys, Shannons, Nordic Tugs, and Vicems! 

What was your favorite?

Some great new rental homes are available now.  The rental market has been booming lately, as more folks are buying rather than renting, or renting rather than selling.

Check out these Annapolis area houses for rent, and let me know if you know of someone that we might do business with.

Know of anyone with a vacant house in Anne Arundel County, that would like to earn some income from it? My Annapolis property management company is looking for more good homes in Anne Arundel County, as we have increasing demand from folks relocating to the area or looking for nicer homes.

Annapolis Boat Shows and Annapolis Waterfront Homes

The Annapolis Sailboat Show is coming up this weekend, and the Annapolis Powerboat Show will be next weekend.  The Annapolis Harbor and Spa Creek are already filling up with a variety of beautiful yachts, and the anticipation is building!

The official web site for United States Yacht Shows calls these “The United States Sailboat Show” and “The United States Powerboat Show.” Fancy names for what we locals usually just call “the boat show”. We will be welcoming about 150,000 guests to historic Annapolis over the next two weeks for these boat shows.   These shows offer a fun and easy way to explore a tremendous variety of yachts, have experts answer all your questions, and perhaps make a deal on the boat of your dreams.

For the sailboat show, trade, press, and VIP day is this Thursday October 6, 2011, 10-6, and general admission is Friday, Saturday and Sunday 10-630, and Monday 10-5.  When the show ends, don’t miss the tear-down party at Pussers Caribbean Grill at the Marriott Annapolis Waterfront, as the crews race to clear out the harbor as fast as possible, so that the powerboats can enter!

Then the powerboat show begins on Thursday October 13, 2011, for trade, press, and VIP day from 10-6, and then general admission Friday and Saturday 10-630, and Sunday 10-600.

And by the way, why stop with the dream yacht?  Beautiful jewelry and luxurious waterfront homes are also to be found!

Anne Arundel County Real Estate Market Update September 2011

To the surprise of many, and despite earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, Anne Arundel County homebuyers and sellers went about their business consistent with seasonal expectations in August.  Here are the latest numbers, comparing this August to last August:

Average Discount Off Original Price: 9.9%

Average Days on the Market: 115 (up 16.16%)

Number of Homes for Sale:  3,520 (down 7.32%)

Total Closed Sales: 445 (down 0.22%)

Average Sold Price: $349,735 (down 4.81%)

(Source: Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, Inc. – MLS Resale Data Copyright 2011 – Information deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed.)

In addition to higher days on market, and a lower average sold price, another pattern is emerging.  In August, 222 contingent contracts were made, versus only 86 last August, an increase of 158%.  While we are seeing more contracts made, as buyers and sellers work together, greater numbers of contracts are falling through due to the other properties not selling.

Here’s an opportunity.  Are you frustrated by the stock market, and thinking of moving some money? As you know, real estate prices are down, and sellers are eager for non-contingent cash buyers.  With the numbers of contracts falling through due to financing troubles and buyers who need to sell other homes, you can be in a very strong negotiating position if you arrange to buy with cash.

Would you like the numbers for a particular neighborhood, or price bracket? Let me know, and I will get them for you.

On another note, here’s a brand new listing this week.  It’s a nice property, and a reminder that you can ask whatever you want…

As you know, I’ll be happy to help you with this home, or any other real estate move, so don’t hesitate to get in touch any time!

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
