Resale Comments: My independent MRIS research shows that there are currently 225 homes on the market in the 20854 zip code. Most of these homes are overpriced or are in less than ideal condition that do not attract buyers and just sit on the market. The average day’s on the market for these active properties is 180. There currently are 76 properties under-contract. These buyers have found and are expecting and getting a great value-a good home at a good price and with all the competition for their attention, they have a lot of choices. These buyers are really picky. There were 65 properties that sold in the last 60-days. The average day’s on the market was 98. Buyers have a sense of what’s fair market value and what’s not and they just won’t show up if sellers are not in the ballpark. There is currently 5 months of inventory on the market in 20854 zip code. It’s very important that sellers price their home correctly and competitively. Buyers are looking for value pricing and if sellers don’t meet these expectations, they’ll be overpriced and overlooked.

September - Foreclosure Activity
 

“Bank repossessions, or REOs, jumped 21 percent from the second quarter to the third quarter, corresponding to jumps in defaults and scheduled auctions in the previous two quarters,” said James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. “REO activity increased from the previous quarter in all but two states and the District of Columbia, indicating that lenders may be starting to work through some of the pent-up foreclosure inventory caused by legislative delays, loan modification efforts and high volumes of distressed properties.”
