Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County, Maryland - Market Update for the Week Ending September 5, 2009

Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County, Maryland - Market Update for the Week Ending September 5, 2009

The market has been seeing a welcome increase in sales and settlements this week, the sales are edging higher from a huge dip 3 weeks ago. Interest rates dropped a little last week and improvements in the stock market it still isn't as swift as we would like to see. The welcome news this week for many sellers (and agents) was the increase in prices in many areas of Maryland. The number of new listings has remained stable we are seeing a slight increase in the number of homes going under contract and settling. Now that fall is on it's way we'll see another spurt in activity before the winter hibernation. I'm surprised I'm not seeing more individuals 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.

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

Boy Scouts of America - Do you have a school age son?

Were you a boy scout? Or a girl scout when you were a kid? I was a girl scout and loved it, I loved the activities, the games, the crafts, the trips, the camping trips and all the cool stuff I learned.

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.

For nearly a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes - and, through nearly a century of experience, knows - that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.

Now that school is back in session so is boy scouts. From age 6 through 10 boys participate in cub scouts. Starting the journey as a Tiger, through Wolves, then Bears and into Webelos before bridging over to boy scouts. If your child attends Lutherville Laboratory School you will see Andy Engel at the back to school night. Andy was our cub master when my son, Liam, was in cub scouts. Liam had a blast participating in the Raingutter Regata, the Rocket Derby and Pinewood Derby, carolling, camping and all the day trips they did.

Last year Liam bridged over to boy scouts and is now in Boy Scout Troop 340. Troop 340 meets on Friday evenings at 7:30 at St. John's Methodist Church at 216 W. Seminary Ave., in Lutherville. The meetings generally last until 9:00 pm. If you have a son aged 11 or older this might be a great opportunity for him to get involved in a great organization, learn some great skills and participate in some great camping or hiking trips. This year the group has a bike ride on the NCR trail planned along with a Ski trip, hiking on the Appalachian Trail, kayaking and summer camp at Broad Creek. Troop 340 has a large number of Eagle Scouts that still partipate with the troop and attend the trips and camping expeditions. If you have a son that might be interested in joining Troop 340 you should call Jim Barton 443-573-2542 for more information. The court of honor is on September 12, at which time the boys will earn their rank advancements and be awarded the merit badges they have earned thus far. The boys are developing life long friendships with other boys who share common interests and common opportunities while they have a great time.
