Olney Area Supply and Demand Chart October 2009

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 October 2009. 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.

October of 2009 was another improving month over this last year and 2 years ago. Are we out of the woods? Not yet. Experts predict that there are still more foreclosures and short sales until 2012. However that doesn't necessarily mean that we will see a decline in property values across the board. The best advice is to get professional advice. RE/MAX Realty Centre has some of the industries finest agents.

Our office has added several CDPEs. These are Certified Distressed Property Experts. They are great agents who can help their clients navigate short sales and foreclosures.

Absorption Rates:

October 2009 16% absorption rate

October 2008 11% absorption rate

October 2007 9% absorption rate

Home owners and prospective home owners are closely watching the local residential real estate market. We email monthly statistics, but sometimes you need to have a detailed look at what is actually on the market for sale.

The following three reports show the properties that are active listings of homes for sale in the area. The properties are sorted by subdivisions. You may sort differently by clicking on the column headers.

The first report shows the 34 active listings excluding the lender owned (REO) homes and the short sale listings. Click the following URL to see the listings:

http://mrislistings.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?k=1135923XDLVP&p=DE-93143271-561

The second report shows the 12 short sale listings that are available. Short sales are transactions where the proceeds of the sale will not cover the outstanding mortgages. These are sometimes called pre-foreclosures. Click the following URL to see the listings:

http://mrislistings.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?k=1135923XDLVP&p=DE-93143297-591

The third report shows the 1 lender owned foreclosure (REO) property for sale. The lender owned properties are vacant and prices are reduced until they are sold by the highly motivated sellers. Click the following URL to see the listings:
