Clarksburg-Boyds Housing Projects for 2014 in Montgomery County Maryland

Clarksburg-Boyds Housing Projects for 2014




There is a lot of money being being shuffle around by developers with the Montgomery County Council’s review of larger retail and housing projects around  the Ten Mile Creek watershed in the Clarksburg -Boyds area.

The Ten Mile Watershed near Clarksburg - Boyds area is the reason what the county Council has delayed the decision  to give new Construction developer Pulte Homes the OK to go ahead and build 1,000 residential units west of Interstate 270 in Boyds

The  Ten Mile Watershed near Clarksburg - Boyds is a creek that drain directly to Little Seneca Lake, an emergency backup water supply for our region during droughts.

"Opposition to the development of our area argue that water drainage from all of this new construction could pollute Little Seneca Lake and reduce the water supply capabilities for our area"

To compliment the new influx of residents to this new area in Clarksburg - Boyds; another company has also asked permission to build a mixed-use Tanger fashion outlet center with restaurants, offices and housing just right off east of I-270 exit #18.

village homes

The two Montgomery County Council’s review that will participate in giving the OK for these two major projects are the Planning, Housing, and Economic Development and the Transportation, Infrastructure, Energy & Environment committee.

They are set to meet in January 13th, 17th  and January 24th to make a decision if the projects pose an environmental threat to the Ten Mile Creek watershed

The major player that tends to gain a lot from all of this is Pulte Homes, They own the land and they have threatened to sue the County if they are rejected.

"Between Pulte Homes 1000 new housing units and the mixed-use Premium fashion outlet that has been proposed, our area in Clarksburg will grow tremendously in the next few years"

I can't argue about the environmental impact for this huge project being proposed, I don't have the facts and I trust our leaders will make the right decisions

I do however live in Clarksburg, and I know the impact that will be created by the increase of traffic in our area.
A priority in my opinion is that Clarksburg Town Center needs to go ahead and fulfill their promises to finish building their revised plan that consists of development of the center with a full-sized supermarket, county library and other amenities. .these were promises when they were given the original permission to build there.

Fact is that , 2014 and beyond promises an increase of traffic that will have to be addressed  by our county leaders.
Can I-270 take an additional  influx of 1000 families more?
When you also consider the addition of hundreds more for the areas in and around  Clarksburg Village ...there will many more residents coming to this area.?

The Clarksburg Master Plan (which governs the growth of the city) directly targets Clarksburg to become the single most northern active population center along the I-270 corridor. If you are considering a new place to live in Montgomery County Maryland. .despite of all the uncertainties . .The Clarksburg community still should be an easy choice for many reasons.

What a House Sold In My Neighborhood? for Maryland Homeowners

What a House Sold In My Neighborhood?

(For Maryland Homeowners)

Are you wondering "What a house sold for in your neighborhood?" 
As a broker for a real estate company, I hear this question most often. .
People want to know what are the values up to in their respective neighborhoods. 

Understanding that market value is the only relevant value once you are ready to sell. What other houses sold for inside your neighborhood may not truly indicate the real value for your own home


To estimate the market value of your home, outside of using a full appraisal that may cost you around the $500 range is to  use "comparables." 
This is how appraisers do it anyway. You must find someone that is willing to find at least three similar homes nearby that have sold within the last six months and obtain a value opinion from them

The experience of a real estate agent with access to the multiple listing service is paramount here. ..


"critical mistakes because of inexperience - being unfamiliar with the neighborhood could lead you to make the wrong  decisions if you want to sell or refinance your house"


Appraisals in our circles are known to be an inexact science. You may have two similar homes with different values just because of their location, their condition and the market condition at the time when the value is generated.

What a House Sold In my Neighborhood?


My advice is to better find a real estate agent on your own, and ask "How much is my house worth?" 
Find one that has experience and simply ask: if they can do a "market analysis" of your house value. 
Normally this is free, with the agent taking this opportunity and hoping to impress you and get your business in case you decide to sell your house soon after
But often-times we know that most people are just curious and just want to know. . . 

What a House Sold In Their Neighborhood?

Do what I do. .as a broker 
  • I want to keep the value of my own home in check. .
  • I want to know what houses are selling and what houses are not selling. ..
  • I want to know who is moving out and who is moving in
  • I want to know if any of my neighbors are selling their homes incognito as a short sale
  • I want to know if any of my neighbors have tried to sell and couldn't 
  • I want to have an idea of the value of my home to see if I should consider refinancing. .
For that, I do a simple thing. 
I subscribe t an email alert that sends me an automatic  message the minute someone has listed their home, has SOLD their home, has changes the price of their home or has put it under contract.
This system will generate a daily email only if there is something new to report for your neighborhood

I will be glad to do this for you. . 
Even if you do not  want to sell your house. .
This is a free service we provide to Maryland Homeowners so we provide a glimpse in the quality of our services. .
With no obligation. .and no hassle. .of course!

I just ask you for one thing. .just be fair to us. .
Give us a chance to COMPETE for your listing if you ever want to sell your home.
