Housing Professionals Optimistic in Frederick Co.

We already know Frederick County is one of the fastest growing and most interesting counties in Maryland. But, real estate experts and professionals have even more reasons to feel hopeful about our county’s future. After evaluating the performance of the housing market last year, reports show that Frederick County did exceptionally well. According to the Frederick News-Post, home sales increased and overall numbers looked promising, leading many professionals to announce their optimism for 2014 and beyond.

Michael Kurtianyk, president of the Frederick County Association of Realtors, states that “interest rates are still low, and [Frederick County] could have a spring market arriving sooner than anticipated.” It’s easy to see why more homeowners are starting their ‘spring shopping season’ earlier in 2014. Like mentioned, mortgage rates are on a declining trend and home prices are perfectly positioned for home buying. Soon, more potential buyers will move into the market, increasing competition and possibly driving up prices. To get ahead, smart homebuyers are looking now and beginning the mortgage application process early.

But, aside from the favorable market conditions, communities like Villages of Urbana are also contributing to the overall growth of Frederick County. Villages of Urbana is a quickly developing, innovative and unique community that is drawing both first-time and veteran home shoppers.

The best-selling community in Frederick County, Villages of Urbana is a complete, extensive and mixed-use development that provides homeowners with everything they’ll ever need. The market district is tucked away in the heart of the community and is stocked-full of shops, restaurants and a grocery store for residents to use. Pools, playgrounds, tennis courts and walking trails are also featured throughout, promoting green space and outdoor play.

But best of all, the homes in our community are built by some of the best builders in the region: NVHomes, Ryan Homes, Main Street Homes and Parkwood Homes. Currently, both NVHomes and Ryan Homes are building their newest townhome models. These townhomes are increasingly popular and are ideal for both younger and older families. With how well the local economy and housing market is doing, who knows how long these beautiful homes will be available!
