If you have been following Focus On Frederick for any amount of time, you know that you can get your local market conditions updates here. Today, the Frederick News Post ran an article “More pulling homes off the Market to Rent.” You shouldn’t be surprised about the information, because it’s something that we talk about it here on a weekly basis.

Buzz Mackintosh, of Mackintosh Inc. Realtors, said some people are pulling their homes off the market.

“They are renting or will come back in the spring,” he said. ~ FNP Jan 29th

On Here…

I will say that the holidays have helped lower the inventory just a little, but I imagine that all the sellers that pulled out late this fall will try it again in the Spring. ~ FOF Dec 31st

And then we also talked about the inventory conditions in Frederick County…

“Until the buyers come out, prices will go down and the inventory up,” Wayne Six said. “It is supply and demand.” ~ FNP Jan 29th

On here…

Supply exceeds demand period ~ FOF Aug 7th 2007

Friday Foto in Frederick

 Frederick Area Cardinal

I had noticed about a half dozen Cardinals frolicking in the back yard the other day.  This isn’t anything new it seems like my back yard is the garden of eden for most of the local wild life.  I had my camera, of course, and thought I would try to get a good picture of the bright red birds. (technical term)

When I went through my pictures, I thought this picture was pretty good.   But the point of today’s picture isn’t the fact I shot a Cardinal…THE TREES ARE BUDDING!!!  We are not even half way through “winter.”  Click the picture to see a larger view.
Mother Nature…what’s going on here?

FCAR Cultural Diversity Committee is working on a new project

Project Access Cultural Diversity Committee Frederick MD

It’s a new year and we have the changing of the guard going on at the Frederick County Associations of REALTORS® last month, incomes Larry, out goes Terry. Over at the Cultural Diversity Committee, we have some changing going on too. We have focused on raising fair housing awareness in the past and will continue our mission. One of our biggest past projects has been the Annual Fair Housing calendar contest for MAR. We reach out to the local schools and have them show off their artistic skills. The children have great open minds and wonderful ability to display it with crayons, pastels and paint. This project still continues and we ask you to get your children involved. Entry forms can be picked up at the FCAR office. Another annual project is the Fair Housing Conference with the City of Frederick’s Fair Housing Commission. We will continue next year with these events.

We have decided to add a new project to our portfolio. We are in the process of fine tuning “Project Access”. Not only does fair housing have to do with the color of your skin, religion (et al), but your ability to get in the house. We thought it would be nice to get our hands dirty this year. We want to identify a Frederick County Resident that needs help gaining access to their home. We know it can be physically and financially challenging to gain access to their home.

The project is in it infancy, but we have big plans on making “Project Access” a success for FCAR and Frederick County. If you want to be a part of our committee, we are always looking for members. Your contribution is always welcomed. Here’s to another year rewarding year. Hope you are a part of it.

We are looking for sponsors. Please fill out Pledge form for Project Access and fax it back the FCAR office.

Thank you.
