Piney Orchard Real Estate: More Sellers Needed!

The residential real estate market in Odenton, Maryland’s, Piney Orchard community has not been this slow in 30 years — all because there are not enough homes to purchase. Buyers are out there, however, and they are paying record prices for the few homes that are for sale.

The normally thriving residential real estate market centered around the U.S. military’s Fort Meade, Maryland, complex is currently stuck in the mud, thanks largely to elevated mortgage interest rates and a critically short supply of homes for sale.

The latest housing market figures for Odenton, Maryland, which borders Fort Meade, show that the number of closed sales and the number of newly listed homes is at a generational low. Many sellers who purchased homes in recent years were able to do so with mortgage interest rates in the 3% to 4% range. Now, they are reluctant to sell their properties and face buying a new home with a 7% to 8% mortgage.

The good news for home owners who live in Piney Orchard, one of Odenton’s most popular communities, is that sale prices are at an all-time high. In addition, buyers are snapping up for-sale properties in Piney Orchard as soon as they come on the market.

SOLD: The Piney Orchard Townhouse with the Perfect Lawn

The immaculate backyard of 2479 Warm Spring Way in Odenton, Maryland. The home was recently sold by Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.

Larry Rose puts a lot of love into everything he does. A long-time resident of Odenton’s Piney Orchard community, Larry recently decided to move down south to enjoy his retirement. That meant selling his impeccably kept, end-unit townhome in The Courts of Piney Orchard. To do so, Larry and his wife, Susan, chose Jerry Kline of Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland to help them.

Jerry met Larry several years ago when Larry was volunteering his time on The Courts Homeowners Association Board. Larry during his time on the Board worked tirelessly to improve his community, and in the process he forged many friendships with his neighbors. Even the neighbors who do not know Larry know his house. It is the handsome, brick-front colonial that stands out because of the immaculate yard.

Larry works on his yard every day. The grass is always thick, dark green and perfectly trimmed. The landscaping looks great, too. It’s literally impossible to find a single weed in the front, side or back lawn. Larry likes it that way.

Odenton’s 10 Most Unwanted Homes

Home for sale in Odenton

Buyers Aren’t Feeling the Love for These Long-Term Market Dwellers Near Fort Meade

Is it their price? Or their condition?

Or is it both?

Homes that linger on the for-sale market for extended periods do so because they don’t appeal to buyers. Usually, it’s because such homes don’t offer good value for money.

Real estate professionals know that any house will sell – even a dilapidated ruin next to a toxic waste dump. The question always comes down to price.

In Odenton – like any residential real estate market – some homes take longer to sell than others. In extreme cases, where price and condition combine to alienate buyers, homes can remain on the market for six months, nine months, or even a year or more.

Below is a list of 10 Odenton homes that have been on the market the longest – in this case, considerably longer than six months. It’s worth noting that the type and location of these properties varies widely, as do the potential reasons buyers might be avoiding them.
