Those of us who own Laurel real estate, got some good news recently. In Prince Georges County Maryland, more homes sold in April of 2009 than in April 2008. In fact, it was just over a ten percent increase.
Average sold price was down below $250,000 and so was the medium sold price. You can get more information on my Laurel real estate blog.
The bottom is in sight. The market will stabelize and then hopefully increase at normal rates. I believe this will happen some time in the next six months.
Falling prices, low interest rates and great government incentives have had a good impact on the market.

I have lived in Laurel Maryland for the last 18 years. In that time I have discovered some places in Laurel that I very much enjoy visiting. The following is a list of my current top five places I enjoy visiting in Laurel Maryland.
Ok, there it is my current top five spots in Laurel Maryland. This list is subject to change and many places that didn't make the top five are still pretty fun places to visit.

".....the nation was overtaken by a major economic crisis.......was compounded by many factors.....over expansion of credit....collapse of the export market....low price of imports....which forced American businesses to close....financial instability resulting from excessive expansion......and unsound policies of the.... Bank of the United States."
Any guess as to what time period this is from? The above quote is describing The Panic of 1819.
Will we ever learn?
One of the great things about living in Laurel MD is the activities in the community.
Today is Grandparents Day at Bond Mill Elementary School. This is the day all grandparents of students at Bond Mill get to visit their grandchildren during the school day. Sixth grade students greet all grandparents at the door and welcome them to the school. The students and their grandchildren engage in several activities together.
As usual, the day is well attended by the grandparents.
And if you don't have a local grandparent, someone else who is close to you may visit the school. This year a local friend of ours will be our daughters' grandparent. Both of them are excited about today.
Oh, don't forget the annual Spring Egg Hunt at West Laurel Community Center tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. sharp. The eggs go quickly, so get there early.
Have a great weekend.
