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.

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.
