Rockville, MD Real Estate News

Today Freddie Mac and Fannie May were taken over by the government. This is a milestone, in the current housing situation and hints at many more changes to come.  Namely, does this signify the bottom of the housing market? Many think so. Mortgages rates dropped almost a 1/2 percent today for home buyers. I think the most interesting questions in our area markets is; the upper echelons of the housing markets in the D.C. metro areas are doing quite fine. How will this affect our market? The government taking over these two firms will positively effect our market in a great way. There will be more money to lend and it will be easier to obtain a loan, for qualified buyers. If you are in the market to buy a home, or if you are considering to buy a home; seriously think about purchasing by th...

What is the Inter-County Connector? The intercounty connector otherwise known as the ICC project is moving swiftly along and giving homebuyers (albeit not home sellers) a sense of relief as the areas where it is being built are becoming much more obvious.  This road is a major east-west toll highway being built in Montgomery County, Maryland from Interstate I270 (at the intersection of I370) and extending to meet I95 and end slightly beyond in Prince George's County.  This controversial project has been on the books for more than 50 years - yet in the recent hot real estate market - many home buyers who gave up their rights to review the master plan had no idea....and unfortunately, many of the "hey it is really easy to sell real estate" new agents - didn't know either.  I won't rant on...

ROCKVILLE MD HISTORY and why we need to preserve it.  Important to many residents of towns with a long and strong history, county and town planners will do well to preserve the old as well as manage the new.  Towns in Montgomery County would quickly lose much of their charm and vitality if the priceless Victorian homes, the historical train stations, the popular shops located in the original areas of town were replaced with just new construction.  Local towns in Maryland and Northern Virginia almost always preserve the MARC Train Stations.  These stations are along the original rail road lines upon which many of our most important towns were founded.  Commerce thrived along these rail ways just as they now thrive in close proximity to International airports.           TYPICAL MARC STATI...
