Here are the real estate market statistics for Boyds Maryland for the month of July 2008.  Even though the average home price is down by about 27%, the dollar volume is only down a little over 6% from last year at this time.  I believe the short sales and foreclosures have affected the values.  The good part is that Boyds is a strong draw for sales because the actual volume is almost the same as last year this time.

I am positive that every single person that reads this entry has heard this mantra before, but I firmly believe that it's not what you make, it's what you spend!The Problem Over the past five years I have seen many real estate agents jump well into the six figure income bracket. A hot market is a breeding ground for a false sense of financial security for those who fail to plan. For a while, there was a new Mercedes, BMW or Lexus in the parking lot every week. Larger houses, lavish vacations, fancy dinners, jewelery and whatever else suits your fancy might not be the key to longevity in this sometimes volatile industry. Now that the gravy train has slowed many of those same agents are stuck in the quandry of finding a part-time job or getting out of the business all together. I am speak... 12/08/2007

I live and work in Boyds, MD in Kings Crossing. I have had the privilege of participating in 14 transactions in my neighborhood. There are many reasons that Kings Crossing is such an excellent place to live. All of the neighbors are friendly; there is an amazing pool facility with three pools including: a wade-in pool with fountains, a lap pool and a kiddie pool; there is a great playground in the community with a ball field and tons of equipment too; also several tot lots throughout the community. In addition to everything we have right here, about a mile or so away is the best recreation facility I have ever seen. It includes the Upcounty Soccer Complex with 22 or so soccer fields; the most incredible indoor swimming facility with slides, fountains, a spa and olympic diving platforms;... 12/04/2007
