November Update to our 9 County Real Estate Sales Comparison Chart

published Friday, December 16th, 2011 at 9:54 am by

UPDATED December 13th, 2011. Our November 2011 Real Estate Price Trend Chart is a graph that compares the changes of average sold prices on a month-by-month basis for 9 central Maryland counties over the last 7+ years.   As with the other graphs, it is representative of all residential property types, e.g. it is a consolidation of condos, townhomes and detached single-family homes.  The graph was updated on December 13, and it now encompasses a date range from July 2004 thru the end of November 2011.  The chart is updated every month, usually by no later than the 15th, so you might want to bookmark the site (http://home-sweet-home.us) to keep current on sold pricing trends.

We’ve also updated the current Market Minute reports, which may be directly accessed here.  Once you arrive, you’ll be able to “drill down” into the data by county, town, zipcode, etc.

If you need to obtain an in-depth, personal analysis of specific real estate market data, you can always contact Art via email: associatebroker “at” home-sweet-home.us or call him directly at 443-812-2604.

PLEASE NOTE: you must have Adobe Reader installed on your computer in order to view the graph.

New HARP Refinance Video

published Friday, October 28th, 2011 at 10:07 am by

As I revealed in the previous post, “New HARP Refinancing Program for Underwater Homeowners”, you can obtain the latest description of the program by downloading the .pdf document direct from the government’s website.

For those folks who would rather view a video broadcast from a commercial television station, I’ve included one that I ran across below.

New HARP Refinancing Program for Underwater Homeowners

published Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 at 10:16 am by

As you probably know, the Administration has announced a new HARP refinancing program, designed to help homeowners whose mortgages exceed the value of their homes.  The program hasn’t yet launched, and is expected to on November 15, 2011.

To help you determine whether you might qualify for this HARP refinancing program, here is a direct link that will give you all the details of the plan:

FHFA HARP News Release: (Note: It’s a pdf file, so it will download to your computer!)
http://www.fhfa.gov/webfiles/22721/HARP_release_102411_Final.pdf

Please note that you must have Adobe Reader installed on your computer to read this announcement.

Also note that if you do not qualify, you are not alone.  Pundits have stated, and the government actually acknowledges in the announcement, that no one knows exactly how many homeowners may qualify.  In fact, this may just be a politically motivated move by the Administration to garner support.  However, there will be some people who actually do qualify, and as a result, you should at least read the document to see if that someone is YOU!
