What’s happening with the Condos in Frederick now

Baker Park Bridge Frederick MD

You remember my post about the condos from last month. Well, it’s a new year and there has been some major drops in the over inventory. I wanted to see the impact it had on the condos. Frederick County dropped 200 homes from last month according to my tracking. As of today, there are active 1840 homes on the MRIS MLS today. (1/7/08)

There was a drop of 16 condos in the active column (about a 10% drop.) But they didn’t convert to sales or contracts. The sales were relatively the same. The listing either expired or they decided to withdraw from the market. The market overall on New Years day seen a 10% drop in inventory. I am guessing the listings all expired on 12/31/07.

There has been little or no movement in the pricing. The biggest drop has been at the Jefferson Chase Condos. They lowered the high-end. The new Condos out at Old Farm Station and Riverview II are still the fasted movers right now. Springridge is not too far behind. My guess is the prices is key for Old Farm Station while Brand New is a key selling point for Riverview II

  1. Bob: Ya gotta know I can’t speak to Condos with any authority except they are not doing well here unless very aggressively priced–and even then…! We overbuilt/rehabbed condos in this area and when sales fell they seemed to take the hardest hit.
