Listed and SOLD - Green Holly Terrace in Silver Spring, MD

When you have a spacious town home, backing to a vacant space and a little ways up from a small creek, and you are just a few blocks outside the beltway, it's prescription for a quick sale. Couple that with a fresh coat of paint and some tender loving care. 

But pricing it right is another thing. With the present interest rates at such low levels, the monthly payment is at an extremely low level, relative to other times in our real estate market.  

If you have any questions...either for buying or selling or even for help in getting someone moved, please give me a call. Always glad to help.

And another Home has been SOLD in Chevy Chase, MD

And SOLD.

On the other side of the postcard, I have this note:

Want to know what is going on in the real estate market in your neighborhood?

Looking over the recent sales and the competition is an art, not a science. It takes experience and insight to know what features homebuyers are paying extra for and what causes them to pay less for a property.

If it was easy, property-evaluator websites like Zillow.com would be accurate, which they are not.

I am in the market observing the thought process of buyers and sellers every day and I can help you evaluate the value of your home in today’s market.

Give me a call, I'm happy to help. Please like or share if you know of someone who might be interested...

There used to be a castle in Chevy Chase!

Located in, what is now called, the Town of Chevy Chase on East Woodbine Street (near Beach Drive), this castle overlooked Rock Creek Park.  It was called Rossdhu Castle or Calhoun Castle.

The Washington Post described this castle as a replica of the 12^th century, Scottish ancestral castle of Clan Colquhoun from Loch Lomond. (February 1, 1975)

(Click for picture and more of the story by William Duvall, from TownofChevyChase.org)

Today, what is left of the castle is the turreted five-bedroom gatehouse and the small "moat" in front.  

However, in the subdivision below the Rossdhu Castle, the even numbered homes on nearby streets all share a stone retaining wall in their rear yards, one of the last graceful remnants of the landscaping of the 100 acre site.

Welcome Back!

After a great class with Brian Buffini recently, I have decided to go back to the wonderful items of value he offers on a monthly basis. I will be sending these out to my best friends and clients. You could be one of them. If you think of someone who might benefit from these mailings or my services or both, please let me know. I'll be glad to send these informational pieces along and always glad to help your best referrals.

My daugther Meagan has agreed to help me these days and I welcome her assistance. She is a graphic designer and a willing worker who has helpe me immeasurably in gaining a foothold in the cyber world. This new world offers many opportunities to agents, intent on staying in touch with a moving marketplace, the better to serve and assist.

Interest rates are still amazingly low...in the 5% range for conforming money ($417,000) When we bought our house in 1983, the general market rate for fixed rate, 30 year mortgages was 12.625% down from 17%, the previous year.

We refinanced when it went down to 9.5%, then again when it went to 7.5% then again when it went to 5.5%.

One footnote from Brian Buffini's seminar: Opportunity never shows itself with no risks.
