According to a recent Washington Post article in 2022 nearly a third of homes purchased last year in this country were cash transactions. An 8% increase from 2021 and the highest since 2014. The number of cash buyers has more than doubled since 2017. Frederick Maryland saw the highest increase in the rate of all-cash buyers.    In Frederick and Montgomery Counties in Maryland, nearly 2 of every 5 homes sold were as all-cash purchases last year. The purchaser who brought the offer with the least contingencies in many of the transactions where I represented either the buyers or sellers was accepted in 2022. Those offers many times were either all cash or had a substantial down payment with the buyers pre-approval letter from a local lender.   Who is buying with CA$H?; retirees, buyers who...

In the past few weeks, I have visited a number of cities that are all decked out for the holidays. The holiday season would not be complete without a trip to see the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center.     At the beginning of December, the Christkindmarkt takes over the old Bethlehem Steel Mill in Bethlehem, Pa. to celebrate the spirit of the holidays. While there I discovered this town is one of six featured on the Hallmark Channel's Christmas Cams.     My hometown of Frederick, Maryland for the past few years has allowed local businesses to raise funds for local charities by placing boats on Carroll Creek that will be "Sailing Through the Winter Solstice"   Another place to take in the holiday lights is on the Ellipse near the White House in Washington DC to see the National Christ...
