Annapolis is surrounded by water and offers a huge expanse of waterfront living opportunities. From shallow wetlands to deep water and everything in between waterfront living in Annapolis is a huge part of living the Annapolis lifestyle.
Waterfront home sales increased in October to 14 from a low in September of 7!!. And compared to October of 2010 there was a 35% increase in the number of homes sold in October 2011. Low and high sale prices can fluctuate dramatically due to waterfront homes being unique to themselves. One large sale or even 1 low sale can send the numbers askew.
To see what's on the market for sale in waterfront, waterview and water priviledged homes
Yesterday a girlfriend invited me to go with her to visit the Rising Sun Inn which is located nine miles north of Annapolis on Generals Highway. This historic building was built in 1753 and was given to the Anne Arundel Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution (DAR) in 1916 by the then owner R. Thomas Williams with the understanding that it would be 'maintained as an historical spot and structure or museum'.
In 1980 the Anne Arundel Committee of the Maryland Historical Trust awarded DAR the Marjorie Murray Bridgeman Award for historical preservation in recognition of the Chapter's work in restoring and preserving the Rising Sun Inn. In 1985 the Rising Sun Inn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Over the years the Inn has been used as a private residence and as a tavern where the small tap room remains intact. Inside the family of Jonas Green bequeathed a doll house replica of the Jonas Green House which is on display. Outside in the gardens you can find boxwoods which are believed to have been planted back in the Revolutionary period.
November 13, 2011, the day we visited, was the 100th anniverasary of the Anne Arundel Chapter of The Daughters of the Revolution. Tea and desserts were served and the Annapolis Town Crier was present to open the ceremonies.
The Rising Sun Inn is open for tours on the 2nd Sunday of each month from 1-4pm. Their address is 1090 General's Highway in Crownsville. You may also rent the building for small private parties
Heritage Harbour saw 6 more homes sold in October over September. The low sales price dropped in October but the average sales price rose. The number of homes available for sale remained just about the same. Days on market rose from an average of 89 days in September to an average of 148 days in October. There are 11 homes under contract, down by 4 over September.

Please remember... when visiting an Open House the agent there is solely representing the Seller which is what I do when I hold an open house.
If you are already represented by an agent that should not be a problem as many open house agents honor that relationship. Just let them know when you arrive. HOWEVER if you do not have an agent and would like Buyer Representation when purchasing a home you just may want talk to an agent (like me) who can help you. I would be happy to discuss how Buyer Agency works and how it can help you in your purchase power when buying a home.
Other than my very own listings... I can represent you in the purchase of any home available for sale whether listed with my brokerage or another brokerage. As for my own listings... please know that I will always treat you fairly and ethically and share everything I know about the house itself.
If you would like Buyer Representation when buying a home give me a call. I will be happy to explain how it works and how I can help.
