Friday Foto is for Flying over Frederick

I had the opportunity to take a helicopter ride over our lovely city. The experience was far from what I remember when I was in the service flying in the back of a Chinook at tree top heights around Germany.  I am not the fondest of heights, but I was over taken by excitement to get up and take some aerial photos of the city.  It was more like flying... [Read more of this review]

Frederick, what is going on in this market?

It has been pretty busy last couple weeks for me, showing property around Frederick County and around Gettysburg.  I haven’t had the chance to pull very many numbers, until now.

Sales are picking up and so are the prices

For most of the spring market, it seems that the magic number was $250,000.  Everything that had seen go under contract in Frederick County was at or below $250,000.  My best guess was these are the first time home buyers trying to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit.  With them removing the starter homes, the next natural step is for the upgrade... [Read more of this review]

Impact Fees in Frederick County are going up

I just read on the county website a notice of the increase.  It looks like about 4% across the board for all new homes.  Just one more little hurdle the Builders get over and pass on to the consumer.   New homes activity has been picking up slightly across the county. If you are interested in looking a new homes, it is in your best interest to... [Read more of this review]
