Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County, Maryland - Market Update for the Week Ending October 31, 2009

Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County, Maryland - Market Update for the Week Ending October 31, 2009

Happy Halloween!! The Anne Arundel County real estate market is still seeing a welcome increase in sales and settlements over the past weeks, the sales are edging higher. Interest rates are still low. The home sales still aren't as swift as we would like to see, however, they are remaining fairly stable. The number of new listings has declined steadily over the past few weeks and we are seeing a slight increase in the number of homes going under contract and settling. Home prices are also remaining fairly stable as we move into the Thanksgiving Season. Now that fall is here to stay we'll see another spurt in activity before the winter hibernation. I'm surprised I'm not seeing more new home buyers making the decision to buy with so many great deals available. 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 but buyers need to hurry because the tax credit times are coming to an end soon.

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

Jim Craig's Allstate Office, Federal Hill, Baltimore City, MD

Jim Craig's Allstate Office

I met Jim Craig a few years ago at a Live Baltimore event in Baltimore City. We talked shop and he asked if he could compete for my business. At the time I was happy with my automobile insurer and the price was good. My insurance wasn't due to renew for 6 months. Five months later I got a call from Jim. He asked me a few questions and was able to save me over $100 on my car insurance. I had gotten a quote online on the companies website but that quote was much higher than Jim's. That was five years ago. My insurance has gone down every year. Then last week Lauren called me from Jim's office and they were doing a review of my file and found that I qualified for a new program that will reduce my insurance by 5% and in talking to her she found something else that reduced our insurance another $87

Over the years I have referred many clients to Jim Craig and they all have the same thing to say about the service they receive. And, my latest buyer got insurance for her flat roof row house from Jim too, when she wasn't able to get insurance elsewhere and it didn't cost her an arm and a leg.

Over the years Jim has continued to compete for my business in order to keep it. And, he will continue to compete for the business of my friends and clients.

Jim's office is located at 912 Light Street, Baltimore, MD 21230 in Federal Hill and you can reach Jim by phone at 410-752-1300. Jim always says that his goal is his customer's complete satisfaction. I am definitely a satisfied customer.
