On the first Thursday in May the Bethesda Garden Club has a Plant Sale. This is the club's major fund raiser event. The club sponsors numerous organizations and this year it added a scholarship to a Botany student at Montgomery College.
Our members dig out plants in the Fall from their gardens and/or those of friends and relatives who volunteer their plants.
If you are interested in donating plants or are willing to have our members dig some of your crowded plants, please contact me at Simone@BercuHomes.com or call me at 240 506 2370.
Your garden will look better and you would be doing a good deed, too. You might even want to join us at our monthly meetings on the 3rd Wednesday of each month September through June.
| There are 295 homes in Ayrlawn. Half the homes have over 2000 sq. ft. of living space. The largest one has over 5600 sq.ft. The rest are smaller homes of 1100-1700 sq. ft. Presently, there are seven large homes listed for sale in MRIS the Regional Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Five are new and two are resales that were completed less than two years ago. The asking price for these homes range from $1,189,000 to $1,499,000. Four homes have gone under contract in the last 30 days. Dividing 7 (Active)/4 (under Contract) we get an Absorption Rate of 1.7 months. The good news is that the Absorption Rate for Ayrlawn is only 1.7 month. The Absorption Rate on May 1, 2008, for Bethesda's single family homes is 1.95 months, and 2.96 months for homes priced over one million dollar. A supply of over 6 months of homes for sale, is considered a Buyer's Market. A supply of 5-6 months is a Normal Market. Based on above market with a supply of under two months, Bethesda has a Seller's Market. |
The unique community of Oakmont comprises of two streets Oak Place and Oakmont Avenue. Both run from Old Georgetown Road to the Ayrlawn YMCA and the Ayrlawn Park (the former Ayrlawn farm) There are 57 homes in this special tax district community. Most lots are around 7500 sq. ft. and the largest is 24,456 sq. ft. One of the good aspects of living in such a community must be first that the owners know each other, unlike other neighborhoods; and that the board and residents have some control over the use of their tax money.
