Many people that know me well, know that Daffodils are my absolute favorite flower. Imagine my delight today, February 22nd, as I am driving towards Ellicott City from Catonsville on Frederick Road this Spring display adorned the landscape. Usually it is not until March, but due to the AWESOME Winter we have had, Spring is springing early- I knew I was not going to heed that groundhog this year!

We redefine the essence of service

The medium household income in Howard County is $101,771 which is really not too far behind the $103,010 of Fairfax County at #2.

To current residents it does not come as a surprise, yet many feel RICH in many other ways too because of where they have chosen to live. Howard County is wealthy in education, local amenities, location and cultural events to name but a few.

Howard County in Central Maryland is the 3rd richest County in the USA.

Home Residential Resale Statistics -- January 2012

January was a strong month for Columbia, with two out its three zip codes experiencing strong increases in sales.

21044 – 21044 was one of those zip codes. This portion of Columbia saw an increase in sales of almost 20%, over $1 million more than last year.  Average sold price was actually down by almost 9%, though five more homes were sold this month than the same time last year (21 versus 16).  What is worrying, though, was the increase in how long homes generally stayed on the market.  Last year, the average was 107 days.  This year, it jumped to 205, a 91% difference.  Seven homes were on the market for over 181 days, and only six sold in under 60.

21045 – In terms of total sales, 21045 was almost identical to last year with an increase of .25%.  Average sold price, once again, was down almost 9%, though two more homes were sold than in 2011.  Unlike 21044, the average days on the market here was virtually the same, with homes being sold on average three days less than last year.  With 26% less active listings than last year, and no home taking over 360 days to sell, 21045 saw a decent month.

21046 – 21046 saw a large increase in sales compared to 2011, $3,522,250 versus $2,173,500.  That’s an increase of over 60%.  Two factors played big roles:  the number of units sold was up by three units, or 37%, and the average sold price was up almost 18%.  In this segment of Columbia, the average days that homes were on the market was down 35%, 91 days in 2012 while the average was 140 days in 2011.  Like most of Howard County, the number of active listings is down, but Columbia as a whole saw a fairly strong month.
