THE REAL ESTATE FARMER-I've done real estate before I became a Real Estate Agent. Yesterday I wrote a blog called

THE REAL ESTATE FARMER-Where did the name come from?. I won't talk about it,I'll let you read it yourself. But while writing the blog,I realized something. In a way I have done real estate before I became a Real Estate Agent. While working on my father's farm,me along with a couple of my cousins would go to the lake and go fetch water. The water would be used to mix the dirt that will make the bricks to built the small houses. The houses would be where we would stay to either first eat breakfast before we began working on the farm,lunch/break(Some of my brothers and family members slept on the farm once)and to stay in case in started raining.

I guess my old man said why pay somebody to do something when you could do it yourself? We built I believe two small houses by ourselves. They will make bricks and let them dry for about two days or so. Then they we will start building the house. We even built a poultry for my father's 40 pigs. It might have been more. That was pretty impressive considering none of us had knowledge,skills or experience in building homes.

Maybe I should become a home builder. I hear those guys make some really good money. But on second thought,I should stick to my day job and help the home builders sell their PG County MD New Construction Homes. So if you are looking to buy a new construction home in Prince George's County MD,Charles County MD,St.Mary's Country,Baltimore County MD,Montgomery County MD or Washington DC,please give me a call. I don't help build houses anymore,I am trying to help home builders sell them.

Maryland's Back to School Tax Free Week starts today 8/8/2010 and runs until 8/14/2010.

Now is your chance to stock up on all the new back to school fashions and uniforms for the kids (and yourself).

    Prince George's County Maryland Real Estate Market Report for June 2010. People are buying and selling homes for sale in Prince George's County MD. Anybody who is talking NOT THINKING-(There is a difference)about buying or selling a house should always review Real Estate Market Reports in your area of interest.

    Local PG County MD Real Estate Market Reports is a good barometer to aid you in making your home buying or selling decision. Just like Investors and Foreign Investors study the NASDAQ,AMEX,NIKKEI 225 (Japenese Stock Market) and S&P500 charts to determine whether they should buy,sell or hold a stock,the same applies to the Real Estate Market. This is a great time to buy a house in PG County MD.

   In June 2010,867 homes for sale in Prince George's County MD SOLD compared to 536 homes that were sold in June 2009. That is a 61.75% increase. Out of the 867 homes for sale that sold in June 2010,161 of them were Cash. That is 18.5%. Average days of a house on the market in PG County MD now is 91 days. Last year the average days on the market was 137 days. There are a lot of Prince George's County MD Cash home buyers and investors who are looking for houses to buy in Prince George's County MD 

That is good in this Real Estate Market. Some of the things I think may have contributed to the 867 PG County MD SOLD Homes in June 2010 can be                                               

• Home buyer's tax credit-People didn't want to miss out on a chance to earn the $8,000 home buyer tax credit so like many people when they want something,they did what they had to do to get and weren't dragging their feet unlike some home buyers who are still sitting on the fence and waiting until they will be able to buy a house for nothing. Just because most of the inventory on the market IN PG County MD are Short Sales and Foreclosures doesn't mean that homeowners are giving away their houses.
  
• Income tax credit-Some people like to invest their money wisely on a reasonable sound investment instead of an outfit you probably won't be able to fit into two months from now. (NOTE: If anyone is offended,I APOLOGIZE. Please forgive me. My intent wasn't to offend anyone but no that an great investment like a real estate property will only appreciate in value in due time.)
• Selling months-June,July and August  are three of the busiest home selling months in the year. A lot of things are happening during this time that may make someone want to sell their house: Ex:Military family relocating to another duty station,kids going to another high school,kids going off to college,someone getting another job in another city.

Also home buyers who are talking about buying a house now can get a  home buyer grant for up to $7,500.
