The State of Calvert County Real Estate

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

In this first issue of The State of Real Estate, lets discuss the activity and trends we’ve been seeing over the last several months. The chart below, presents a lot of data, but tells a few key stories. Some noteworthy points are:

  • While not a perfect trend, homes do appear to be selling quicker in the last 90 days.
  • If you’re selling a home, expect to offer your buyers some closing cost assistance to make the deal happen.
  • Homes are selling for about 80-90% of their tax assessed value, indicating tax bills in Calvert County may be getting more affordable in the near future.
