Dear Clients and Friends,

I want you to be the first to know about my new listing located in one of Baltimore's most hidden historic neighborhoods, Stone Hill.

712 Pacific Street is a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath semi-detached home built in 1846 and was home to mill workers back in the mid to late19th century. Truly a step back in time..

Yet it has been carefully renovated to today's living standards boasting new HVAC, stainless steel appliances & concrete countertops, recently insulated basement, new gutters, new roof on porch and bead board ceiling.
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, it makes this neighborhood and home a one-of-a-kind treasure. Priced at $315,000 it's a must see!

It's a Great Time to Buy!

The renting versus homeownership debate has taken center stage in the headlines lately.  Wall Street Journal columnist Brett Arends provided readers with 10 Reasons to Buy a Home. While readers were able to ponder those 10 reasons, the same week the Today Show featured a segment weighing the pros and cons of renting and buying.


All this information can be a lot to digest for many consumers, who are weighing whether to make the most significant financial commitment and investment of their lives. For some people, the decision to buy a home isn't so much about dollars and cents - it's more of an emotional decision based on the desire to have a home that they can call their own. Many people simply want to be their own landlord, with no worries about an expiring lease hanging over their heads.


Almost everyone expects their real estate agent to say:"It's a good time to buy!" Right now, there are several factors that make that statement especially true. Buyers have a wider selection of properties to choose from, at more attractive and affordable prices. Mortgage interest rates are historically low, helping to improve affordability even more. Additionally, homeowners can also save on taxes by deducting mortgage interest from income taxes.


Home prices have stabilized in most markets, and in the long run home values typically enjoy modest gains.  According to a recent survey by Fannie Mae, a majority of Americans still believe housing is a safe investment.
