CLARKSBURG MD 20871 REAL ESTATE TREND INDICATOR
If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in zip code 20871, you should take a close look at the following report that compares the statistics for the past month with the same month last year. During the month, there were 106 active listings of homes for sale in 20871. There were 22 new listings in the area and 14 listings went to new pending contracts. There were 17 actual settlements as compared to 17 homes sold last year. The total sold dollar volume was down 13.3%. The average number of days on the market was 132 from 140 days last year. The average sale price was 92.68% of the average list price. The median sold price was $430,000. What does this mean? It is still a soft market which favors buyers. Buyers have the largest selection and the lowest prices that have been available for several years. First time home buyers have the benefit of the currently available $8,000 tax credit for settlements that take place before the end of November, 2009. The lenders still have a surplus inventory of foreclosures in Montgomery County and buyers are taking advantage of the bargains and the lowest interest rates in years. Many home buyers are taking advantage of the low 3.5% minimum cash requirement for FHA financing. The FHA Streamlined 203(k) loan allows borrowers to include up to $35,000 of home improvements in the mortgage amount. Many of the homes on the market have deferred maintenance issues. The Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC) is offering 100% financing for qualified first time buyers.
