 Entrance to Clarksburg Town Center from Clarksburg Road
Clarksburg Town Center is seeing some changes. The pool is undergoing a major face-lift. They will be installing a slide and making the pool the appropriate size to hold competitive swimming events. Next summer should launch the first year of the Tiger Sharks Swim Team. I grew up participating in swimming and diving so I am excited for the kids and families of Clarksburg Town Center.
The building is continuing with the Michael Harris single family homes and the Craftstar townhomes. Of course there are some resale houses on the market which typically come . . . → Read More: Moving On in Town Center

 We are ready to go – 60 degrees at 8am.
On Saturday October 9, 2010 I was one of over 8,000 bicyclists to participate in the Sea Gull Century in Salisbury, MD. My riding group consisted of Joe, John and Phil Sabelhaus and Jeannie Greenwell. Only John Sabelhaus had completed a 100 mile event before, so the rest of us were more than a little apprehensive about being able to complete the whole course. The weather was perfect – not too hot, cold or windy – and the road was flat. There were four rest stops at 20 mile intervals throughout the . . . → Read More: 100 Miles

Here comes the big, bad media! We all know that negative news sells, so be prepared that we will all be bombarded with bad news about the national housing market in the next several months. Each upcoming month’s stats are going to be compared to a month where the tax credit stimulus was in full effect. So naturally, the sales numbers in volume alone will all be down significantly. Interestingly enough, our Washington DC area had a downturn in volume, but an overall increase in prices according to a recent Washington Business Journal article.

 Highlands at Clarksburg
Tucked nicely in the corner of Stringtown and Frederick Roads, you can find the Highlands at Clarksburg subdivision. This little gem of a community has escaped the dreaded proposed Clarksburg development districts and, unlike the larger neighboring subdivisions, is completely built out. It has a very nice mix of single family homes and townhouses as well as a small retail/office section. There have been 10 homes sold in 2010 year to date for an average close price of $451,590. That is close to all of the sales in 2009 which totaled 11 homes for an average close price of $430,545.
