Farmers Market in Olney MD

Farmers Market in Olney MDOlney Farmers Market Logo

Olney, MD is a great place to live for so many reasons! One of my favorite things is the Farmers Market in Olney MD which is held on Sundays from 9 ‘til 1; May 9th through November 7th. This year, the Farmers Market in Olney MD moved to the Montgomery General Hospital parking lot.

There's a wide variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs (who's Herb?), flowers, and plants. Everything is fresh and delicious, straight from local farms throughout Maryland. The prices are reasonable, there's plenty of convenient parking, and, since it's held at the super spacious Montgomery General Hospital lot, not overly crowded.

Terlingua picklesI always pick up fresh eggs and those amazing Terlingua pickles. They are spicy and sweet; once you've tried them you won't want to be without them...better pick up more than one jar!

All vendors will provide bags with purchase but why not be green? Remember to bring your own reusable shopping bag to the Farmers Market in Olney MD!

Olney Area Supply and Demand Chart June 2010

Joe Buffington, GRI, CDPE: Real Estate Brokerage in Olney, MD

Here is the Olney Area (Olney, Brookeville, Brinklow, Ashton, and Sandy Spring) supply and demand chart for June 2010. The Red lines are the active homes, blue under contract, and green are sold. The absorption rate is determined by the number of homes on the market and the number of homes selling that month.

This is the first time in a long time that the absorption rate has cracked 25%. Great news. We seem to have the right amount of inventory (homes) and interest (buyers).

I feel strongly that as long as the interest rates stay low we will have a steady market. And steady is good...

Absorption Rates:

June 2010 32.9% absorption rate

June 2009 23.2% absorption rate

June 2008 11.9% absorption rate
