Home Sales Up In Baltimore

Tuesday, September 24th, 2013

More good news out of the Baltimore real estate market as the Baltimore Sun reports, “Sales of homes in metro Baltimore jumped nearly 17 percent in August from a year earlier.” According to the Sun, the median home price for homes sold in August was $252,000, which was 5 percent higher than in August 2012, and the highest level since 2008. In addition, for the past 5 consecutive months, the region saw double-digit percentage gains in sales and new listings.

 

However, August did see a slight dip in performance compared to July, as sales were down 6.7 percent and prices were down 4.6 percent. However, the dip isn’t altogether unexpected for this time of year. Corey Hart of RealEstate Business Intelligence was quoted in the Sun as saying that the July to August decreases are most likely due to seasonal market trends, as June and July typically see high sales numbers.

 

Counties in the Baltimore region also saw increases in year-over-year median sales prices, with the exception of Harford County, which saw a 4.3 percent decrease. Median sales prices in Howard County reached $400,100.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Joint Tenancy

Thursday, September 12th, 2013

Joint tenancy is one option you have when titling your home. By choosing joint tenancy, two or more names are on the title, meaning that they all own the property.

 

Joint Tenancy is commonly used among spouses who want both of their names to be on the title. The main advantage of joint tenancy for spouses is its simplicity. If one spouse dies, the ownership of the property automatically passes to the surviving spouse. The spouse does not need to engage in court proceedings or obtain approval from a judge. He or she need only show a death certificate in order to obtain sole ownership of the property.

 

However, there are disadvantages to joint tenancy. It is especially dangerous when one or more of the parties involved has significant debt, as creditors may force that owner to sell the whole property in order to pay for the debt. Additionally, joint tenancy supersedes the deceased tenants will, meaning it could disinherit children or others, regardless of the wishes of the former tenant. Any party in a joint tenancy can also change their interest in the property to tenancy-in-common, and then transfer or sell this interest as they wish.

 

These disadvantages are the main reason why joint tenancy is more popular among married couples, as trust can be a big issue in this type of tenancy. American Home Title Group can advise you as to the best way to title your home and give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your property is titled correctly.
