Jerry Kline Helps Piney Orchard Renters Become Piney Orchard Home Owners!

Jerry Kline (left), realtor with Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, celebrates the new home purchase of Andrew & Jennifer Sasai.

When they met realtor Jerry Kline for the first time, Andrew & Jennifer Sasai already knew which community they wanted to buy a home in — they were already living in that community in a rental home! Having helped scores of clients buy and sell homes in that community — Odenton’s Piney Orchard neighborhood — Jerry Kline made the Sasai’s transition to a new home a particularly easy one. The couple purchased a lovely, updated townhome just a quarter mile from where they were renting.

The Piney Orchard home purchased by Andrew & Jennifer Sasai, with the help of Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.

The home has a gorgeous, open floor plan with hardwood flooring, an updated kitchen with island and eating area, and a large, fully finished basement. The home also features a large deck and a fenced backyard. But best of all, the home sits just across the street from a beautiful community pool. Summers will be SO fun!

In Odenton, Career Day at Waugh Chapel Elementary School!

Jerry Kline, Realtor with Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, near Fort Meade, recently spoke about his profession to students at Waugh Chapel Elementary School Career Day. 

What does a realtor do? How does a realtor spend his days? And most important of all – at least to a third grader – does a realtor have to be good at math?

I answered all of these questions and more when I recently visited Waugh Chapel Elementary School in Odenton, Maryland, for its annual Career Day exposition. Moms, dads and other family members like me spoke to students about the various kinds of careers kids might want to consider when they grow up.

A warm thank you from the students at Waugh Chapel Elementary School who welcomed me to their recent Career Day event!

As I explained to 3rd graders in Ms. Kyte’s class, 1st graders in Ms. Hill’s class and several other groups of students, as with any job, being a realtor has advantages and disadvantages.

Yes, you do need good math skills to be a successful real estate agent. But technology can be a really big help with this!

The kids clearly liked that realtors usually are their own boss, they have flexible work hours, and realtors can be well compensated. But the kids frowned and groaned when they found out realtors have to work on weekends, spend hours on the phone and computer and do a ton of paperwork.

Yes, real estate agents do travel a lot as part of their work. But we can often be reimbursed for the mileage we drive.

Still, in learning about what realtors do, the kids were attracted to the overriding theme of helping people in need – which is the most fulfilling aspect of the job for me.

Many heartfelt thanks to Principal Cheryl Cox and all the kids and staff at Waugh Chapel Elementary School for inviting me to participate in your event! Your school is a wonderful environment for learning, and I hope to help each and every one of you find a home some day!

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.
