To me this speaks of Maryland’s lack of ‘missing middle’ housing.”  Maryland Home Sales Continue to Drop Amidst Signs of Improvement in the February 2023 Maryland REALTOR® Housing Stats   ANNAPOLIS, MD—March 16, 2023—Maryland home sales dropped 27.9% to 4,268 units in February 2023 against 2022’s figure of 5,923 units, according to the latest Maryland REALTORS® Housing Statistics Report.

I am often asked what price can I get for my condo in Bakers Bay. What is my condo worth? First of all, there are so many different styles I will never say right off the top of my head. There are many other factors to be taken into consideration like condition and upgrades. Checking the last sales and active listing will give us a better perspective on just where the market is right now.  Before I do that research we set up an appointment for a meeting so I can inspect the unit. It is my professional opinion Bakers Bay Condos community is a very desirable place to live. Here are a few reasons why.  There are many activities for residents and the location is amazing. There is a guard on dutytwenty-four seven. This gated waterfront community has so much to offer.

The stats are out for the month of February, and the numbers reflect the uptick of a spring buying season.   The inventory declined 10% from last month but increased 79.4% over last year.  The inventory has not moved much since the beginning of the year. This data is courtesy of Joan Cox - House to Home, Inc. I track data daily for the Denver metro area, and the amount of price reductions have been hovering around 600-650 each week and homes returning to market have been around 225 per week.   The inventory this time of year is seasonally low, and is below 4,000 during the week, and pops up to a bit over 4,400 for the weekends.  (includes land up to high-end homes) See what homes are currently available - Active Homes for sale in Denver Buyers - If you have thought about buying a home t...

What Buyer Activity Tells Us About the Housing Market Though the housing market is no longer experiencing the frenzy of a year ago, buyers are showing their interest in purchasing a home. According to U.S. News: Housing markets have cooled slightly, but demand hasn't disappeared, and in many places remains strong largely due to the shortage of homes on the market. That activity can be seen in the latest ShowingTime Showing Index, which is a measure of buyers actively touring available homes (see graph below): The 62% jump in showings from December to January is one of the largest on record. There were also more showings in January than in any other month since last May. As you can see in the graph, its normal for showings to increase early in the year, but the jump this January was lar...
