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 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.

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.

Hello blistering heat

June 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

July and August like weather has hit Crofton, MD…and it’s only the first week of June. Today it’s already 95 and tomorrow is scheduled to be even hotter.

Air conditioners are buzzing, and plants are drooping.

If you have to be out in this weather, please be sure to take precautions. Keep hydrated, and make sure exercise is kept to a minimum. I know how inviting it is to exercise on Crofton Parkway because I live there. Today, however, it might be more prudent to wait until the sun goes down.

Fish…and win prizes in Maryland waters

June 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment

If you like fishing, and you like money, this could be the summer to make both of your dreams come true. For the seventh year in a row, Maryland has launched their annual fishing challenge.

Quietly, over the weekend, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources caught and tagged 200 rockfish, in Maryland fishing waters. There will be additional tagged rockfish release in July and August, as the contest continues.

The tagged fish include one “Diamond Jim,” and 199 impostors. If you catch June’s Diamond Jim, that fish is worth $10,000. The impostors are worth $500 each. June’s Diamond Jim magically turns into an impostor if he’s not caught by the end of the month, giving way to a new July’s Diamond Jim.

Don’t remove the Chartreuse tag if you catch Diamond Jim, or one of his impostors. Just call the number on the tag and a Maryland State employee will verify your win…and the amount.

For a good deal more information on this contest and additional citations you can win, visit the “Diamond Jim” website.
