An update on the real estate market in the Baltimore Metro area.

The "Baltimore Metro Area market watch" remains quite upbeat as the year comes to a close. In general the Counties surrounding Baltimore City and the City itself collectively are showing improvement in sales and inventory.

Out here in the trenches the well priced homes are getting a lot of activity and in some cases multiple offers. Days on Market seem to be decreasing and well qualified buyers are out searching for their new home. The regional job growth adds to the marketability of the area. A quote from Governor O'Malley yesterday on Facebook shows that Maryland is heading in the right direction.

Since the start of this year, we’ve added 27,000 jobs and our unemployment rate is now 6.9%--1.7% points below the national average. But we know that the most important job we create is the next job and we won't rest until every Marylander is back to work.

The growth of the region and job creation is also a huge factor as many new families arrive in the Central Maryland area. Rental prices have increased as supply and demand find an imbalance. Buying a home is by far a better option and in many cases substantially cheaper than renting.

For more information on housing options in the Metro Baltimore area contact me for an update.
