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!

Sell Your Maryland House For Free (We Buy Houses All Cash)

It’s great to get something for nothing.  And some people just hate to pay REALTORs, or spend money on a house they are selling.

It’s even worse when they know they won’t be able to get as much for their house as they want, that maybe they could have gotten a few years ago.

Don’t want to clean and stage your house to make it appealing?

Don’t want to pay any REALTOR fees?

You are not alone.  (And the vultures are circling.)

Last week, someone told me proudly that he sold his house himself, with no Realtors involved.  He wouldn’t tell me the sales price.  The land records show that he sold it several hundred thousand dollars below market value.

If you know someone who would be happy to sell their house cheap, to avoid paying a stinking REALTOR, please call me immediately.   One of my investor clients will take it off their hands, with no fees.

Or, if you (or your friend) will invest a little time and money, to make more money, I’ll be happy to go to work for you, and help you increase your bottom line.

Call me today for all your Annapolis real estate needs.

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
