So Your Ship Has Come In. Now Dock It at one of these High End Annapolis Waterfront Homes

In the previous post, I mentioned two of our most recent Annapolis waterfront listings – the more expensive of the two, 1134 River Bay Rd, priced at $1,725,000.

That’s not chump change in anyone’s book, but it’s also not the most expensive waterfront home that’s currently for sale in Annapolis – not by a nautical mile.

In fact, there are 46 others priced at or above the $1,725,000 mark (including one of our listings at 2992 West Friends Road in Cape St. John, pictured here.)

Topping the list at $11,900,000 is 1514 Whitehall Rd, a 40-acre waterfront estate on Whitehall Creek. If that’s stretching your budget, 1810 Lindamoor – a 3-acre estate with 250′ of frontage on the Severn – might be more your style.

Not surprisingly, homes in this price range don’t typically sell like hotcakes. The average days-on-market for these homes is 295. Currently, there are 4 homes in this price range under contract.

If you would care to preview any of these homes, please call me at 410-507-7222; we’d be happy to discuss your needs, make the arrangements and be your guide to the Annapolis waterfront market.

Join Us Sunday, March 21st, for a Close Up Look at this Lovely Waterfront Property

Late last month I wrote a post about a new waterfront listing we have in Shoreham Beach,3914 Bayside Drive.

Now that the weather is cooperating, we thought we’d hold our first open house at 3914 Bayside – and you’re cordially invited.

The list of features and hidden treasures – not to mention the killer water views – is impressive, so why don’t you stop in and have a look for yourself? Not only is it a gem of a waterfront home, with one of the largest lots in the community…but there’s a 36′ by 36′ suite of framed-but-unfinished rooms over the 3-car garage, where you can put your personal stamp and finish off as you please.

We hope to see you there.

Edgewater Townhomes $400K – $600K

Edgewater is known for some very nice townhome communities in and around the South River Colony area. Indeed, if you have between $400,000 and $600,000 to spend, you can find an awesome townhome with just about all the square footage any of the bells and whistles you might want.

Buying a townhome is largely a lifestyle choice: it’s the way to go if you like – or require – the lock-and-leave lifestyle. We sell lots of townhomes to busy couples and families, flight attendants, boaters who need a second home in the area, and professionals who travel often, among others.

Riva Trace is One of The Annapolis Area’s Best Kept Secrets. And Those Who Find It, Find It Hard to Leave

We should know: we’ve lived here 9 years. And though we have – on occasion – thought about moving from our lovely 3rd level condo, we’re not sure why.

We’re close to the action here, just a mile or two from the new Annapolis Towne Center. The mall is just a hop, skip and a jump. Routes 50 and 97 are a 5 minute drive….but it feels like we’re way out in the beautiful ‘burbs. The people are nice, the dogs friendly. What more could you ask for?

The Overall Picture

Having sold more than $7,000,000 worth of homes in Riva Trace, we know it well – the condos, town homes and single family homes.

As with elsewhere in the greater Annapolis area, home prices have taken a hit in the last year or so. Sales have slowed, as well, with many owners waiting to sell until they feel the market has stabilized or started to improve.

When owners stay in their homes longer, they tend to make improvements and updates – which bodes well for the general well-being of the community and future owners who are sure to find quality homes here at desirable prices.

Currently, there are 2 condos for rent, both 3rd floor, 2 level units. Another 3rd level unit just came to market this week at $345,000. One of our listings – a second floor, 2 bedroom condo – is under contract.

There are 4 active town home listings, at a high of $499,900 for an end unit on Gingerview…to a low of $359,900 on Cranes Crook.

You can find all the details here in the Riva Trace market report.

If you have questions about any of these listings or would like to schedule a showing, please contact my wife Bev at 410-353-2469. We’ll be happy to help.

A Crash Course for Active, Soon-to-Be or Wanna-Be Buyers and Sellers of Real Estate

1. If in doubt, paint it.

2. Buy below your means.

3. If you’re shopping for a million dollar plus home on the water in the Annapolis area, you’ll probably drive by many less-than-million-dollar homes to get there. Just the way it is.

4. Homes do not sell themselves, no matter how beautiful they are.

5. Buyers don’t care if you’ve already fixed, painted or repaired 98 items out of 100. They only care about the 2 you didn’t.

6. Buyers will over-estimate the cost of home repairs by a factor of 10. Do them yourself before you list your home and save 90%.

7. Everything you do right prior to selling your home will reduce your days on market by a factor of 10.

8. Hire a Realtor who will tell you what to do right.

9. If you’re a seller, or potential seller, we already know you’re not giving your home away.

10. If you’re a buyer, you should know that they’re not giving their home away.

11. Cosmic law: If you aren’t totally onboard with the sale of your home, The Universe will not bring a buyer. We’ve plenty of proof.

12. It’s only a good idea to hire your best friend or relative to sell your home if you have plenty of best friends and relatives to spare.

13. If you’re sitting back waiting for the market to rebound before you sell your home, you better have a very comfortable chair.

14. Smoking odor in your home is a seller death sentence.

15. Biggest, truest real estate cliche: The first offer is often the best.
