We're continuing to see of the inventory of homes for sale in Frederick County decrease month after month.  Prices are stabilizing, hovering at about 5 - 7% below prices last year.  75% of the sales in Frederick County last month were under $300K, first-time buyer range.  With the current inventory around 1500 (less than 1300 residential) we have an absorption rate of about 4 -5 months, a balanced market. With just under half of the sales taking place in under 30 days, the market is showing signs of competition and health.  210 Pending sales is a very healthy number for this time of year.

With the extension and expansion of the First-time Homebuyer's Tax Credit, we expect to see a very healthy market continuing into next year.

About Chris & Karen Highland

We’re Chris and Karen Highland, The Highland Real Estate Group. We’ve lived in the Frederick area for over 18 years and are raising our 4 children here. We’ve seen many communities built where there once was farmland. We love the “small-city yet large-town” atmosphere of Frederick, the quality of life, and the affordability we’ve found here. I've been selling real estate in Central Maryland for almost 16 years. Karen has been helping me over the years in different capacities, as an assistant, then as a buyer’s agent. For a year, I managed an office and Karen took over the bulk of the business. It was a great experience for both of us. I managed 90+ agents and saw more contracts come over my desk than the previous 14 years combined! Now I'm back, running the business and Karen is running the office, and blogging and marketing. With each new year comes a different kind of market and new challenges. In this present market, we face many challenges with mortgage problems, distressed properties and the credit crunch. I've gotten a nationally recognized certification , CDPE, Certified Distressed Properties Expert, to equip me to help homeowners in distress. I'll be blogging about a lot of these issues and about all kinds of real estate topics. Karen and I always have something to say!
