MIDDLETOWN MD 21769 REAL ESTATE TREND INDICATOR

MIDDLETOWN MD 21769 REAL ESTATE TREND INDICATOR

If you are planning to purchase or sell a home in Middletown, you will want to know the trends of the market. The following report is for the past month and the statistics are compared with the same month last year. There were 84 active listings of homes for sale on MRIS during the month. There were 27 new listings and 13 went to pending new contracts. The sold dollar volume was down 46.94% from last year. The number of homes sold was 7 from 10 last year. The average days on the market was 125 days from 207 days last year. The average sale price was 90/51% of the average list price. The median sold price was $285,000. The market is still soft which means that it favors buyers. Foreclosures and short sales listings still influence the area market. Buyers are finding it more difficult to qualify for mortgage financing and the trend is to the use of FHA financing which has a minimum cash requirement of 3.5% of the purchase price. FHA Streamlined 203(k) financing allows borrowers to include up to $35,000 of home improvements in the mortgage amount. First time buyers have the benefit of the currently available $8,000 federal tax credit for purchases completed before the end of November. All prospective buyers are advised to obtain pre-approval for mortgage financing before submitting an offer. More investors are buying because the prices on lender owned foreclosures are the lowest in several years.
