Maryland Real Estate Market News
Maryland real estate builders are confident that the nation-wide housing crisis has climaxed and is now recovering. According to a recent quote by Standard Pacific Corp’s CEO Ken Campbell, “The real estate market is weak. I think it will recover, but it sure as heck is not clear when it’s going to recover.”
Although unemployment remains elevated, real estate buyers and investors are regaining confidence and motivation. Washington has taken decisive steps on Wednesday August 4th by finalizing a $26 billion bill that offers aid for new tenants and home builders.
Laurel, Maryland real estate expert Brien Berard states:
“Maryland real estate is different from the rest of the country. Sales in Washington D.C. and the Maryland suburbs of Montgomery and Prince Georges counties increased 8.2% this June over last June of 2009. The housing inventory decreased a whopping 21%! A big reason for this is declining home prices.”
Maryland Real Estate Listings Are Now Affordable For First Time Home Buyers
 Maryland Real Estate Incentives for First-Time Home Buyers The new September 30, 2010 tax credit extension Obama recently pushed helped thousands of new home buyers close this year. Due to conditions beyond the buyer’s control, the extension gives light to a steadily improving Maryland real estate market.
“Maryland real estate listings have become more affordable for first time home buyers,” says Berard. “It will be interesting to see how long the record low interest rates hold at their present position.”

Maryland Real Estate Press Release by Brien Berard
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 Maryland Real Estate Tax Credit Incentives MARYLAND – Throughout the United States, pending real estate sales declined in June. According to the National Association of Realtors, “The [pending] national real estate sale index fell 2.6% to 75.7% comparative to the 2009 level which was down over 18%.” Maryland real estate experts say this decline in home sales is directly associated to the expiration of the 2010 government legislated tax credit for new home buyers.
Home builder DR Horton, Inc. says “It is easy to think the [Maryland real estate] market might be finally recovering form four years of turmoil.”
Tax Credit Incentives for New Home Buyers in Maryland
The recently approved federal tax credit offered incentives of up to $8,000 for Maryland real estate listings. Although the number of interested buyers increased, many could not qualify for mortgages. Maryland real estate experts claim that this sudden burst of unqualified prospect buyers directly associated June’s dramatic drop in the housing market.
Maryland Real Estate Market Experiences Record-Low Mortgage Rates
Maryland real estate builders state that the reason prospective buyers fell dramatically in June was because of the Federal Tax Credit’s expiration. Although history set record-low mortgage rates and home ownership is more affordable than ever, the amount of people that closed homes in June set a record low. According July’s report from the National Association of Realtors, closings throughout the nation dropped 2.6%. This decline was preceded by a 30% plunge in May, thereby creating the second-lowest mortgage rate in history.
