If you are like me, you love yard sales and flea markets. On Saturday April 19, 2008 the Walmart at 2399 North Point Blvd in Dundalk will be holding their first of 2 annual Flea Markets. This is one of my favorite as there are always alot of tables set up with a huge variety of items for purchase-and most of the time at a great price!When Wal-Mart holds their Flea Market-it is set up in the parking lot between the Wal-Mart and the Plaza Flea Market. The location draws a huge crowd, so this flea market has become very popular.Vendors know that this market draws a large crowd so it attracts a wide variety of vendors-from the professional vendor to Mom & Dad just clearing the basement and the garage for spring cleaning. So if you have a little time Saturday between 7 am & 3 pm, come browse... 04/12/2008

Isn't it hard to believe that it is April already? It seems as I get older that time starts to move at a much faster pace, giving me less time to do some of the things I wanted to do. It also means that I must make quicker decisions when opportunities present themselves. Dundalk is presenting some great opportunities for the first time homebuyer AND the investor who utilizes a buy & hold strategy. Lets take a look at market performance in the 1st qtr of 2008.SOLD listings in Dundalk (21222) numbered 83 (actual closed sales in qtr) with a range of listing price from $79,900 to $287,900. The average list price of all homes sold was $170,201. Compare that to the actual sale prices of $78,000 to $280,000 with an average price of $166,912. Using the averages there is only a $3289 difference ... 04/06/2008

Working with investors is a segment of the job that a select number of Realtors do. I thoroughly enjoy working with the small residential investor or the larger commercial investors. Everyday is something new and exciting. Owning and operating a small business for several years, as well as partnering in larger commercial investments-like strip centers-allows my investors a wealth of experience not seen in many Realtors. That is the main reason that I specialize in the investment side of Real Estate.Keeping my eyes open to new opportunities for the entrepreneur is an aspect of my job that I take seriously. Starting my day with looking through 100's of listings for that perfect opportunity for the new or seasoned investor.Over the past week I have been discussing two such opportunities  i... 02/17/2008

 For many homeowners who bought when the market was high or took out equity with refinancing. Now find them selves up side down and need to sell to avoid foreclosure. A short sale is when the seller owes more then the home is currently worth. Some lender will approve of the sale of the lower amount then owed. It’s better for them to have the home be sold rather then foreclosed on. Feel free to call or email me if you have questions.Melissa Miller443-935-9966www.baltimorehomesmd.commelissa.miller@mris.com 07/30/2007

Is it not great that at anytime, the media can dig up an old segment on any industry at any time when they have nothing else to report on that is news worthy. Well, Paris Hilton is in jail and started eating again, so what else is there ?Lets go out and report on the media that spends nights hidden in places taking pictures and invading the privacy of eveyone and often times blowing things out of proportion and at times stating things that are not true. Well, it sure would look like that all news agencys are that way. Wouldn't it ? I know it is not true but that is the way it would look would it not? Here is an idea ABC, Lets find the good folks that are out there that chose real estate professionals or any industry for that matter, to represent them and that were HAPPY with them.

Lots of new homebuyers-especially first time homebuyers!Since Dundalk is still one of the most affordable communities in Baltimore County and with interest rates inching up very slightly-finding a new home or that first home is a task of choice for many! May started off with a bang and just kept going! For the 31 day period there were 67 homes sold or put under contract----this is up 34% over Aprils 50 sales!With 186 active listings as of June 4-there is only about 2.78 months worth of inventory on the market-this keeps Dundalk is a very solid sellers market.

Baltimore County Dundalk Maryland 21222 Home Search As a Realtor, I watch the local markets very close. Working Eastern Baltimore County, Dundalk is one of the local markets I keep an eye on. Dundalk, like the rest of the State, has a record amount of inventory on the market, but Dundalk is still showing STRONG sales! Every story that I have read talks about how we are in a strong BUYER'S MARKET-a buyer's market to me means that there is currently OVER 6 months inventory listed. In checking the numbers from the Metro Regional Information Systems (MRIS) for Dundalk:February 2007 statistics-54 Units SOLD-148 Units listed gives you an absorption rate of 3.97 months of inventory! Less than 3 months inventory still puts Dundalk in a SELLERS MARKET! Why is this, when most of the State is in a... 03/18/2007
