Jerry Kline (right), realtor with Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, celebrates with first-time home buyers, Richard & Lexi.

Richard and Lexi had enough of rising rents and their lengthy commutes to work. So, they contacted Jerry Kline, realtor with Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, to help them buy their first home. The couple recently settled on the purchase of a fabulous condo in Odenton, Maryland, which cut Lexi’s commuting time to work from one hour to 10 minutes. What a relief!

The condo is located in Odenton’s Town Center Commons community, which was built a few years ago directly adjacent to the MARC Commuter Rail Station in Odenton. Within two minutes, the couple can board a commuter train to Union Station in the heart of Washington, D.C. or to Baltimore’s Penn Station. In addition, the U.S. military’s Fort Meade – one of the state’s largest employers -- is located just a five-minute drive from their new home.

The couple’s new condo is a real stunner – the builder’s model home, in fact. It features all of the premium upgrades the builder was offering, including a kitchen with Wyoming Cherry Spice cabinets, a tasteful tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances and sleek granite counters. The main level of the home offers hardwood flooring and a wide-open entertaining area. The upper level of the home includes plush carpeting, an expansive primary bedroom with a tray ceiling, and a primary bath with a deep soaking tub and a double sink vanity.

Odenton’s Supply of Homes for Sale is Critically Low

Odenton homes for sale

A Strong Market for Odenton Home Sellers Pushed Prices Up More than 10 Percent Last Month

The average price of a home sold in Odenton last month rose more than 10 percent from the same time a year ago, according to new market data released by RealEstate Business Intelligence (RBI).

The increase in home prices stems in large part from an acute shortage of for-sale housing in Odenton, as the number of available homes for sale there dropped 37 percent from last year.

The shortage of available homes for sale was particularly notable in Odenton’s popular Piney Orchard community. The number of homes actively listed for sale in Piney Orchard (20) dropped 47 percent in February over the same time in 2016.

In Odenton’s Seven Oaks community, the number of available homes for sale in February (19) held steady from the previous year.

The “months of supply” of available homes for sale in Odenton remains critically low at 1.5 months, indicating an extremely strong market for home sellers. Anecdotal evidence shared by local realtors supports this data, with very active buyer-showing and open-house activity and multiple-bid scenarios involving many available Odenton properties.

Specifically, 24 townhomes, duplexes and condominiums sold in Odenton last month for an average price ($291,846) that was 10.29 percent higher than in the previous February. Six single-family detached homes sold in Odenton last month for an average price ($414,983) that was 10.21 percent higher than last year.
