What a Beautiful Sunday to Look at Open Houses in Rodgers Forge!

19 homes on the market at this writing and there are open houses all over the neighborhood today! Buyers are plenty! I have had 2 listings go under contract in the last 7 days. Second Spring is here and buyers are loving Rodgers Forge at back-to-school season!

I still have buyers looking for specific houses in the neighborhood.  If you know of anyone who is thinking of selling let me know.

Don't miss 228 Stanmore Road! Open today 11:30-1:30! Great extra lot with parking and more!

Rodgers Forge September Housing Update

September is here and the kids are back to school! In real estate we consider September "second Spring" because we traditionally see a flurry of activity after vacation season. We had several open houses yesterday that were very well attended even with a Ravens game competing with people's time. So second Spring is off and running and I expect to see many homes go under contract in the next few weeks in the neighborhood. Want to know how to insure that your home sells within a week?

Did You Know Your Water Line and Sewer Line Replacement can be Covered??

Driving through Rodger Forge, the tell-tale sign of an expensive pipe replacement is the mound of dirt that has been piled high to access and replace a worn out water main or sewer main line. The City of Baltimore has now partnered with HomeServe to offer homeowners in 21212 coverage plans that can protect you from the expense and inconvenience of such repairs. Click or copy and paste this link to check out the insurance plans available at a very affordable rate for Rodgers Forge home owners: http://www.homeserveusa.com/coverage/21212. Some plans are as little as $3.99 per month. If your pipes have not yet been replaced, this may be the right price for peace of mind! Check it out!
Thanks to Kim Moayedi, a neighbor on Dunkirk Road who brought this plan to our attention!

Rodgers Forge February Housing Market Update

Looks like we have an early Spring market in The Forge!! Buyers have been out there looking and buying--yes, even with snow mountains all over the neighborhood and no place to park! I have 3 homes under contract right now. One home was sold before we even listed it, the other two were sold in under 5 days. If you are waiting for the Spring market to sell your home--it's here! Don't wait. take advantage of the low inventory in the neighborhood. Get out ahead of the competition and list your home now. There are only 9 homes out of 2,000 that are for sale in our neighborhood right now! There are more homes under contract than there are for sale. That is a good indicator of a very dynamic market!  If you are thinking of selling your home, now may be just the right time.
I have agents asking me all the time about the homes available in Rodgers Forge. They have buyers ready to buy.  
Be sure to come by and see us at the Rodgers Forge Easter Egg Hunt on March 19. We will have plenty of coffee and donuts.  And we will be happy to talk about real estate. We will have up-to-the-minute information about the market for you.
