The market has really started to heat up, with more buyers searching for their first or next home. The number of new listings has increased and the number of homes going under contract has also increased. The numbers boast an improvement in the housing market here in Maryland.
These figures are taken directly from our MRIS system and are believed to be accurate.
Glen Burnie, MD
New Listings 36 (increase of 15 from last week) Total 438
Under Contract 28 (increase of 9 from last week)
Settled Sales 7 (decrease of 10 from last week)
Anne Arundel County
New Listings 279 (increase of 50 from last week) Total 3854 (increase of 56 from last week)
Under Contract 218 (increase of 96 over last week)
Settled Sales 34 (decrease of 99 over last week)
Glen Burnie offers many affordable housing opportunities for those relocating to Ft. Meade and Annapolis. Glen Burnie is located north on 97 from rt 50 or north on Rt. 2 from Annapolis Naval Academy and east along 32 and north on 97 from Ft. Meade. It is a relatively easy commute from either base and only a couple short miles from the Curtis Bay Coast Guard Station too.
The spring market is actually heating up. And with all of the bad news in real estate nationally, here are two pieces of critical GOOD news:
1. Baltimore showed a net increase of 2.1% in prices for 2007 (according to Zillow)
2. Baltimore falls in tier 4 of the PMI Group's national assessment of Real Estate Economic Trends...which means there is only a 10-20% chance that real estate prices will fall lower in Baltimore in the coming year. There are many MSAs who would like to be able to say the same.
Baltimore, Maryland
New Listings - 403
Total Number of Active Listings - 5000+
Homes that went under contract - 153
Settled Sales - 105
I have been keeping an eye on the marketplace here in my office's home county. There has been an increase in activity, more calls, more buyers, more listings overall and more contracts being written and statistically shown here more sales settled this week. It's great for us as realtors and also shows an increase in people's confidence in the housing market.
These market numbers are taken directly from the MRIS system in Maryland.

I have been selling real estate for over 21 years. I have travelled extensively and have sold real estate in England, Canada and now in Maryland. My experience in moving around the corner and around the world has helped me work with many clients in coordinating their home sale and purchase. Nothing is more gratifying to me than seeing your face at settlement when you finish signing the paperwork and you get the keys to your new home.
I am the Office Manager with Advance Realty in Glen Burnie as well as serving a select few buyers and sellers in their real estate transactions. I manage an office of 
about 20 full and part time agents and assist them with their transactions and mentor and guide them to achieve their goals both in real estate and in their personal lives. I am actively recruiting agents who want to take their real estate career to the next level. If you are looking to make a change or just curious as to what we have to offer, give me a call and see if you are a good fit for our office. At Advance Realty we believe in the personal touch, you will be part of a team where everyone is successful. It's not about numbers, it's about individuals and individual growth and opportunities. You will be part of a small office where you will be coached and mentored to be as successful as you want to be.
I am e-Pro certified and have completed special training to work with military relocatees and Cartus referrals and have completed a background check. I completed the Champion Residential Investment Specialist (CRIS) program. I specialize in working with residential investment clients. I help clients identify their investment goals and help them realize their dreams. I will help you identify your next investment property but my services do not stop there, I will consult with you in order to renovate your property to meet what the market wants to purchase and I will help you sell that property for a profit and identify your next project. I have successfully negotiated many transactions for clients and clients have realized financial wealth with my teams assistance.
In 2006 we were awarded the Century 21 Ruby Masters Award for sales Excellence. In 2005 we were awarded the Century 21 Diamond Master's Award for sales excellence. We also received the Century 21 H. T. Brown Centurion award for sales excellence.
I have teamed up with Skip Roper and together we form the Charm City Home Team. We specialize in old and historic homes and have specific knowledge about historic tax credits and tips and techniques for restoring old homes to their former splendor. We also work extensively with Investors who purchase homes in need of restoration, renovate, then resell. We are also very familiar with rental investment properties and are eager to help you purchase just the right investment property for your growing portfolio.
Call us today and let us help make your dreams of home ownership a reality.
I have completed the Cartus Mobility programs to work with people who are relocating to the Baltimore area and also with people who are moving away. Having moved great distances myself my clients feel that I can identify with them and am able to help them prepare for their next move.
My background in archaeology has helped me in my real estate career. I love old houses and I love seeing them restored to their former glory using modern technology and new slants on old techniques. If you have an old house that you are thinking about restoring or perhaps thinking about selling please contact the Charm City Home Team and let them help you make connections to make your old house shine again.
I work with investors who are looking to grow wealth for retirement or to put their children through college. There are many avenues available to people wishing to grow wealth. I will help you identify your investment goals and point out avenues in which you can purchase property and gain financial growth through renovating and reselling or through rental income. I will help you calculate your return on investment on rental properties and grow your investment portfolio to realize your financial goals. There are many opportunities in Baltimore to realize both types of investment activity. The city has made it possible for investors to help bring Baltimore back to it's former splendor one home at a time. I am very well connected with people who buy and resell investment opportunities and I have access to all the technology and tools in order to help you find just the right investment opportunity.
When Antwon wanted to sell his investment property he came to The Charm City Home Team because "you are the best".
June made every step of our house hunting and purchase experience enjoyable. She returned calls and emails immediately. When we had questions she was always there to answer them and give advice. We would have never been able to purchase our first home had it not been for June. I believe June made a life altering experience an easy and fun one and without her we would have never moved out of our little apartment.
The Bodeis Jones, Home Buyers
June, Thank you for going the extra mile in providing support and feedback to other Realtors across the states. Realtors like you make my job even more enjoyable because it feels like there are truely dedicated teamplayers out there. You are knowledgable and on the ball! Any buyer would be lucky to have you as their Realtor. Thanks again Richelle Rosencrantz - Sales Associate, Express Realty - Edmond, Oklahoma
If we had known how easy it would be to buy a home, we would have done it years ago. June made it so easy for us to buy our first home. I always thought someone would try to take advantage of me so I never did it before. But, June guided us through the process and wouldn't have let anything bad happen to us.

It's really refreshing to work with a Realtor who truly understands investment properties.

I want to work with the June Piper-Brandon that sold that house on Lange Street in 7 days after someone else had had it on the market for 180 days.
