About Anne Arundel County, MD

The first single family home new construction to hit the Crofton, MD real estate market in a long time, is available at Chaney's Grant. The Chaney's Grant site is home to 15 building lots right in the middle of Crofton, MD.

Crofton, MD is an ideal location for families relocating into the area because of it's proximity to Washington, DC, Baltimore and Annapolis, MD.

Prices at Chaney's Grant start at $550,000 for the Potomac I model and scale up to $675,000 for the 3,276 square foot Chester model.

The actual model house, The Severn, shown below is available for $675,000. This model is 3,182 square feet above ground. Granite counter-tops and a finshed basement are only two of the many upgrades in this home. Call Rich at 443-995-9595 to view the model, or any other home in the area.

If you're looking at purchasing a new home in the Crofton, MD area, I can help. Remember, when you go into a sales office at a new construction site, the agent on duty is representing the builder in any possible transaction. You should always consider buyer representation before going into any new construction. As a buyer, this representation is free to you. Call Rich Iarossi at 443-995-9595 if you're interested in buyer representation to help purchase your next home.

The market remains fairly stable despite record low interest rates and improvements in the stock market. The number of new listings has remained stable we are still seeing a similar number of homes going under contract and settling. I'm surprised I'm not seeing more individuals making the decision to buy with so many great deals available. The school year is coming to a close so hopefully, people will be on the move before the end of summer. Now with the economic stimulus changes (up to $8000 in tax credits) and low interest rates it will be interesting to see how this all changes. Overall, there has never been a better time to buy, than right now.

These figures are taken directly from our MRIS system and are believed to be accurate.
