Trash pickup schedule for Anne Arundel County residents to change in June, 2012

January 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Anne Arundel County SealThe era of two times a week trash collection is coming to an end in Anne Arundel County, MD. Beginning in June, 2012, trash pick-up will be reduced to one day a week. The day where trash and recycling will remain, and the day where trash only was picked up, will be eliminated.

Besides the savings, which is anticipated to be returned to taxpayers, the County also anticipates that recycling will also increase. It seems that many recycled items are thrown in the regular trash, on the trash only day. The County Executive expects that the current recycling rate of 40% will increase with the changes being made in the pick-up cycle.

The slight decrease in convenience for some County residents should be more than offset by the increase in efficiency and recycling.

Crofton, MD Active Listings at Lowest Point in 5 Years

January 8, 2012 By 1 Comment

Crofton remains one of the preferred destination points in Anne Arundel County, MD. We are perfectly situated between the large employment markets of Baltimore and Washington, DC. Ft. Meade, home of the NSA, and a growing military installation, is just minutes away.

I have to say though, unless the Active listings get replenished soon, sales could be affected. The market is robust right now and buyers are out looking. While the reduced inventory is good for sellers at the moment, I believe that most REALTORS® would like to see a few more Active listings added to the inventory.

If you’re looking for a home in Crofton, MD or the surrounding area…I can help. Call me on my cell at 443-995-9595.

Crofton MD Real Estate – Market Statistics for November, 2011

December 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The Crofton, MD real estate market had a pretty good November 2011, compared to last year, and last month. Two of the most important sales statistics, Sold Dollar Volume and Closed sales, increased nicely. The median sold price has dipped since last year, but this is affected greatly by the types of housing sold in any given month. Considering that Crofton, MD has homes in the $100K price range, and all the way up to $700K, a few extra sales in the lower price ranges affect the median and average sold prices.
Days on the market compared to October 2011 showed a pretty large increase of 41%…not particularly good news for sellers. The average for November is close to four months now.
Moving forward, this is a pretty interesting chart. In November, 2011 the pending contracts outpaced new listings. Pending contracts is an early indicator of future performance. The more pending contracts, the more sales in the coming months. With pending contracts up, and new listings down, this is an indication that the Crofton, MD inventory will shrink. Good news for current sellers, and a great motivator for buyers to get off the fence.

Crofton MD Real Estate–Homes for Sale in Crofton, MD, 11/23/11

November 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Crofton, MD continues to remain a destination community for buyers relocating into the area. This shouldn’t be a surprise since Crofton has excellent schools, a fantastic location, and a decent selection of single family homes, townhouses, and condos in all price ranges.

Buyers shouldn’t wait too long though since the number of listings has now dropped below 100, for the first time in a while. Despite that, there are still quite a number of opportunities for buyers to grab a deal on a Crofton home, while interest rates are still low.

The map below shows all Crofton, MD homes for sale. Click on any of the icons to get detailed information, and pictures, of all active listings.

I haven’t done my leaves yet…it can’t snow already

October 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

OK, I was just listening to the weather on TV and they’re forecasting the possibility of snow this weekend. Thankfully, they’re talking about no accumulations, and more than likely mixed with rain as well. I don’t know about you, but this is way too early to be talking about snow.

Rt. 3 intersection changes at Johns Hopkins and Waugh Chapel Road

October 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Technically, the changes that are being made are in Gambrills, but they certainly affect just about every Crofton, MD resident. The intersections of Johns Hopkins and Waugh Chapel roads where they intersect with Rt. 3 are changed forever.

No longer can you cross the highway at the light. If you find yourself at either of these intersections you will encounter the new traffic pattern which forces you to make a right turn only. At that point, you will be getting into the left lane if you want to change directions on the highway.

The whole process seems counter-intuitive to me, but I’m sure there is someone in MDOT that can show a savings. In any case, if you find yourself at either of these intersections, be aware of the new traffic patters, because they are confusing.

Crofton MD Real Estate–Crofton MD Rentals, October 26, 2011

October 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

crofton-300-picnik-copy

The Crofton MD rental market remains strong, and has been strong since the beginning of the year. This is primarily due to the fact that many of the employees coming into Ft. Meade, as a result of BRAC, are renting, rather than purchasing.

This has put continued pressure on the rental market in the entire area. As a result of the low inventory, you’re also seeing pretty heady prices as well. Today, rental prices range from $1,400/month for a 2 br, 1 ba condo, all the way to $3,200/month for a 5 br, 4 ba single family detached house.

The link below points to all of the current active Crofton, MD rentals, today October 26, 2011.
