Crofton MD Real Estate - The Tiers Of Walden

Crofton MD Real Estate - Richard IarossiThere are condos and there are condos. The Crofton MD real estate area has several condo sub-divisions. One of the most unique condo buildings in Crofton are located at "The Tiers of Walden."

For Realtors, condos are mainly a form of ownership. In short, condominium ownership is from the walls in. From the walls out is owned by the condominium association. Not to complicate things too much but there are modified forms of condo ownership as well.

For buyers, condominiums could be something entirely different. I'm talking about style here.

We're all familiar with the "condo style" building. Multiple floors, possibly elevators, and the actual units looking more like apartments than anything else. Absolutely wonderful type of ownership if that's the style you prefer.

On the weekend there is nothing you need to do on the outside of the property. Nothing. It's all taken care of by the condo association who hires professionals to maintain the unit.

In Crofton, MD, there are several styles of condo buildings:

  • The "traditional" condo style building.
  • The "townhouse" condo style. You couldn't tell the difference by looking at these units that they aren't townhouses. The only telling difference is the form of ownership.
  • The "quad" condo style. Here in Crofton there is a sub-division of condos where the units are grouped in fours. Very unique, very different.

Crofton MD Real Estate - Richard IarossiOne of the unique condo style buildings in the Crofton MD real estate market is "The Tiers of Walden."

The Tiers of Walden is located in several buildings just off of Johns Hopkins road, near the intersection of Rt. 3.

In the past six months one condo unit has sold in the Tiers. One is currently under contract and four are currently active. The Tiers also has a pretty robust market as some of the units are owned by investors.

Prices in these condo units are in the $220,000 to $240,000 range. Unique to these condos are that the upper units also have garages at the back of the buildings. Units on the ground level are usually one bedroom while the second and third levels are two bedrooms and two baths. Some units also have a loft which could be a third bedroom.

Crofton MD Foreclosures

Crofton MD Real Estate - Richard IarossiForeclosed properties have a tremendous appeal to first time home buyers and investors.

The appeal is well deserved because there can be some great opportunities in purchasing a bank owned property. Like any other home purchase, precautions need to be taken when purchasing a foreclosure.

As a full time Realtor working in the Annapolis, Bowie and Crofton, MD real estate area, I frequently get asked about lists of foreclosed properties.

Anyone wanting a list of Crofton MD foreclosed properties, or any other surrounding area, can obtain one free of charge by emailing me at Rich@RichSellsHomes.com.

All you need to do is let me know what city or zip codes you’re interested in. That, and a return email address will get you a foreclosure property list.

Now, foreclosure lists aren’t very detailed. Basically, they just provide a property address and some minor details about the foreclosed property.

Once you get the foreclosure list, call me at 443-995-9595 and I can provide more detailed information on any of the bank owned properties. When a bank completes the foreclosure and retakes possession of the property, it is then listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), with a Real Estate Broker.

One thing to keep in mind is that bank owned properties are listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), with Real Estate Brokerages.

The family income in Davidsonville from the 2000 Census was over $104,000/family.

Most of Davidsonville homes are situated on parcels of land of over an acre. It retains a distinct rural feel, while being easily accessible to the Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington, DC employment markets. Davidsonville is nestled between Crofton and Annapolis, in Anne Arundel County, MD.

When you put your home on the market in Davidsonville, how long might it be on the market before it sells? This is sometimes called the attrition rate, or churn rate, or inventory turnover rate.

Let's keep it simple and look at all Davidsonville homes.

4 homes sold in June.

1 home sold in April.

This is the most recent data and more indicative of the current market in Davidsonville. Averaging 3 homes sold per month in the last three months. With 90 homes currently on the market, if no other homes get listed, there is over a two year supply of homes for sale in Davidsonville.

With a home inventory that high, it is clearly a buyer's market for Davidsonville homes. Sellers have to have a terrific home at a great price in order to break out of the pack of homes for sale.

Anne Arundel County MD Home Buyers - How Can You Find What School Your Children Will Attend?

Annapolis MD Real Estate - Richard IarossiOne of the more important questions that buyers of Anne Arundel County homes ask their Realtor is; "What schools will my children be attending?" Some agents are reluctant to answer the question because of potential liability issues. No problem, anyone with access to the internet can get the answer directly.

In some communities it's pretty easy answering that question, while in other, it's not. The surefire way to know is to visit the Anne Arundel County Schools website. This can help you locate the schools associated with any address in the county.

The graphic on the right shows the navigation menu for the Anne Arundel School System website. Just click the link that says, "Locate Your School," and you can easily follow the directions for entering an address, which will return the Elementary, Middle and High Schools.

You should always keep in mind that schools periodically get re-districted in order to provide the best utilization of space. This is most commonly done at the high school level but can also be done for Middle and Elementary schools in Anne Arundel County.

When I moved to Crofton, MD in 1991, all Crofton students attended Arundel High School. That's no longer the case and hasn't been for several years.

There are few issues that draw more parents out to meetings than discussion of school re-districting.

If you're looking to buy or sell a home in Anne Arundel County Maryland, I can help.
