Darnestown, MD

I have a new listing in Darnestown, Maryland, that was the family home and we have been getting it ready to put on the market. I was found as a direct result of Active Rain - I will post about that later. I have never met the "owner" of this house.

As I have gone through the house with the Seller's sons, we have worked removing a lifetime worth of memories and personality from the house to get it ready for today's market. Most items have been removed, but it is interesting as I have moved and gone through the house, I feel like I know the owner.

I would like to tell you about her just from the things I have discovered in her home. First off she was a style maven for sure. Baker, Henderdon, and custom draperies throughout. Most items have now been removed, but it was top quality through out.

She was a girlie girl to be sure. In a box, while looking for staging items, my stager and I found gloves, clutch purses of every color to match the shoes with the belts that all went together in her day. Table lines, china, aprons. They are fabulous.

Beautiful suits hang in her closet that we will probably donate to women going on job interviews that cannot afford the suits. I found an old mink coat in the hall closet (right next to the shot gun), it was THE fashion accessory back in the day.

While staging I bought some of the small lamp shades to go on the chandeliers and dress up the sconces in the bathrooms. For the powder room I got the kind with the crystals on the edge. I showed them to her son and daughter in law. The daughter in law said she would love all of the things that the stager and I have done to the house, which made us happy.

I had put a big basket on the hearth of the fireplace and thought I would go into the garage to find some books to put in the basket. I was moving a box when I discovered the photo you see here. Instantly I fell in love with her. It looks like a ballet or dance costume. If you can't tell, she has a crown with a star on the front with her wand with it's star to match. Then to round out the outfit her tulle outfit has wings and stars all over it. I just fell in love with her all over again. She is my kind of girl, I can't say it enough.

Real Estate, for me, is all about my clients and I am glad in a way I got to know this homeowner. I will be taking photos of the home today and putting it on the market. I have worked hard to live up to her standards as I can tell, her's was the gold standard.

November home buyers are closely watching the inventory of lender owned foreclosures for bargain prices. Due to the surge in foreclosures, the lenders have a surplus inventory of owned properties and are highly motivated to sell them as quickly as possible. The prices are reduced until the homes are under contract.

Contact us for client reports on lender owned homes in Montgomery County and Frederick County, MD. We represent buyers as their exclusive agents. Buyers do need to have a pre-qualification letter in hand when they submit a contract. Ask us for a referral if you do not have a relationship with a mortgage lender. roykelley@mris.com

This is an example of one of the many fine homes that are currently available for purchase.

As many people already may know; The Government has agreed to bailout all troubled assets, within corporations on Wall St, mainly. This certainly affects us, both good and bad.

This most important thing to realize is, it was inevitable. This had to happen or our situations would be worst than that of the depression era.

Mortgage rates have gone down and will continue to drop a little more even, to stay somewhere just under 6%, for the time being. This will help 'kickstart' the housing sector somewhat.

Regrettably, we are all left holding the bag, as taxpayers. With, what some say to be, upwards of 1 Trillion dollars in deficit in 1 year; taxes will have to be raised. None of us are immune. Both the little guy and the big will be paying for this. Lets just hope it is worth it. Hey....We had to do it no matter what.

Today Freddie Mac and Fannie May were taken over by the government. This is a milestone, in the current housing situation and hints at many more changes to come.

Namely, does this signify the bottom of the housing market? Many think so.

Mortgages rates dropped almost a 1/2 percent today for home buyers.

I think the most interesting questions in our area markets is; the upper echelons of the housing markets in the D.C. metro areas are doing quite fine. How will this affect our market?

The government taking over these two firms will positively effect our market in a great way. There will be more money to lend and it will be easier to obtain a loan, for qualified buyers.

If you are in the market to buy a home, or if you are considering to buy a home; seriously think about purchasing by the end of the year before you miss the boat.

I have a great 10 step information guide on how to buy a home and what expect. Just go to www.luxurySalesGroup.com or email me at Realtorpro@aol.com to request your FREE guide. There are also many other guides to choose from on the website.
