$14,986,850 in homes sold in 21093, up 19.56% from $12,534,600 in December 2010. Average sales price was up as well, to $405,000 from $391,706 last year.

37 Timonium homes changed hands last month, versus 32 the December prior. Homes stayed on the market a bit longer, though, averaging 114 days to sell versus 81 days a year ago.

One home sold over $1M, so that could be a reason for the % to jump for many of the categories, but the good news is that the Timonium real estate market really seems to be stable, looking back at November Timonium home sales and much of last year.

14 homes came on the market last month, and there were a total of 137 homes for sale in 21093. 34 homes went under contract, which should hopefully show a strong January and February for Timonium home sales!

I’ve mentioned many times how Timonium and Lutherville homes are vastly different — neighborhood by neighborhood and often street by street.

There were 47% more sales — up  42.94% to $12,293,200 in homes changing hands, while last November had $8,600,150 in home change hands. The average sales price was only down very slightly (3.51%), to $307,330.

13 more homes changed hands than last year, with 40 settlements that happened.

An interesting statistic is that 23 detached homes sold, versus 9 last November. There are many small cape cod and rancher style homes that, in this market, are selling under $300,000, which could explain the large jump in sales, yet the slight drop in price.

Homes in Timonium are staying on the market a bit longer as well — 100 days on average for those that sold last month, versus 81 days last year. That’s almost an additional three weeks to sell your home in this real estate market! One of those 40 homes that sold, though, was on the market for almost two years, so that definitely skews the numbers. 13 of them actually sold in less than a month (5 within a week or 2 on the market!) So, it appears that if the houses are in good condition and priced well, there are many people who want to buy a home in Timonium!

47 homes went under contract, and 33 were newly listed for sale. That is a good sign! It means that the housing inventory in Timonium is dropping, with 180 available homes for Timonium homebuyers, and that homes are selling in the area!

As I have mentioned many times before, even within the 21093 zip code, there are many neighborhoods, each with their own characteristics and resale values. Sometimes these houses are just one street over from each other, but could have vastly different averages.

The average sales price was down 8.63% to $349,794, mostly due to the detached homes price which was down 18.39% from $428,953 last October to $350,060 this year. This tells me that most likely more of the smaller Lutherville cape cod, rancher, and split levels sold, rather than some of the larger single family homes.

56 new homes came on the market, while 37 homes went under contract, which a 44% increase over October of last year. A total of 214 homes are for sale in Timonium.

Here is a link to the detailed October 2011 Timonium home sale report.

As you can see from the numbers this month, more of the smaller detached homes sold, while the attached/townhouse numbers can be skewed because one of the nine sales was in the $600-799,000 range.

Keep in mind that each Timonium neighborhood is different. Contact me for your Timonium house value!

Average home sale price in Timonium was up 5.5% as well, up to $336,156 versus a low of $318,630 last September.

One more home sold this September, with 34 changing hands.

An interesting statistic (but not a good one), is that townhouse sales prices were down 18.22% to $250,692 while last year’s average was $306,542. It appears that there were a number of condos that sold, and they are used in the statistics. One sold for under $150,000, two for $150-200,000, and 4 in the $200-299,000 price range, which could explain the large drop in prices throughout the 21093 zip code.

At the same time, we had a price jump for detached homes, with average sales price rising to $389,062 over last September’s average of $325,538. Again, though, this number is skewed because there were FOUR sales in the $600-800,000 price range, which bring that average up tremendously and artificially.

What this really reminds me is that real estate is extremely local. Timonium real estate is no different. There are $800,000 neighborhoods that are adjacent to $275,000 ones. Each neighborhood, even each street, can hold different values. Contact me for your Lutherville neighborhood house value!

Total sold volume was up 134.17% from $8,953,500 in August 2010 to $20,966,275 last month. Average sold price was up a smidgen 4.54% to $374,398.

Total number of homes sold was up 124.00% to 56 over last year’s 25 homes sold in August.

The one number that was down is a good one — the number of days on average that it took to sell a home dropped 46.55% — on average, it has been taking 62 days to sell instead of the 116 days it was taking in the same period last year.

38 homes went under contract, and 59 new ones were listed. There were a total of 226 homes on the market in 21093.

This appears to be a continuation of the rise we saw in both June and July Timonium home sales.

Compared to much of the Baltimore real estate market, Timonium is really doing well.

As I have talked about many times before, each neighborhood, even within zip codes, can have different markets and statistics. Contact me for more details on your Timonium neighborhood house sales.

Taking over vacant space in the Seminary Crossings building, it is located right off Seminary Avenue in Lutherville across from the Royal Farm Store and near the lightrail crossing.

The Charm City Kids Club is a place with free play, classes, and good times for young kids.

There are cooking classes, art classes, movement, and music classes, and they are split up by age group — generally 18 months-3 years is one group, while 3-5 years old is the other group.

There is one cooking class that is for older kids — age 5-7, that is happening this fall, called “Culinary Creations”, which is for children older than the membership program and general classes/play groups are for. You don’t have to be a member of the Club to join this class.

The cost of the session of classes depends on the course and the intended age group. You can visit their website for more details.

What a great idea for children in Timonium. My son is in the upper age group, but that cooking class sounds really neat!

Charm City Kids Club is located at the corner of Seminary & Railroad Drive, (google map) 1500 Railroad Drive, Lutherville, MD 21093. Come see what it’s all about!

With 11 days of games, rides, livestock, concerts and more, the Maryland State Fair has something for everyone!

The big concerts this year are Blake Shelton, who many learned about when he was a coach on The Voice and when he married Miranda Lambert, Selena Gomez of Nickelodeon fame (and most recently made headlines dating the Maryland State Fair 2010 star show, Justin Bieber,) and the locally (TIMONIUM!) bred band, All Time Low, whose hit, “I Feel Like Dancing” has been in the top 100 for months!

Just like last year, the Timonium Farmers Market will be open each day to get fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat from local farmers.

Food Lion also again has a limited number of $5 off ride coupons for certain days.

Ride tickets generally cost $1 each, and rides take 1-6 tickets.

Admission is still $8 for adults and $3 for children 6-11. Children 5 & under are free.

Parking is $3 on site, but free at the Deereco Park & Ride. There are a number of private parking lots where you can pay for parking as well.

Come to Timonium and enjoy the Maryland State Fair! It will be a lot of fun!

The Maryland State Fairgrounds are located at 2200 York Road, Timonium, MD 21093.

Not only were sales up 56.54% over the same period last year, PRICES were up 8% as well.

Of course, this could be due to more of the larger Timonium single family homes selling versus townhouses, especially since 28 detached homes sold versus 15 last July. One number that did drop was the average sold price for attached homes (townhouses or Mays Chapel condos), down about 12% from $297,091 last year to $261,314 this year.

48 homes went under contract (that is DOUBLE last July), and 68 homes were listed last month.

This appears to be a continuation of the rise we saw in June Timonium home sales.

Compared to much of the Baltimore real estate market, Timonium is really doing well.

One fantastic Mays Chapel condo for sale is 12204 Burncourt Road #301.

This third floor unit is amazingly clean, well maintained, and loved. This building is one of the few that has front-to-back units, meaning you get trees and privacy in the back, plus you can have a cross breeze from the front!

Don’t miss this beautiful third floor Mays Chapel Condo with cathedral ceilings and private feel! 12204 Burncourt Rd #301 is superb!

Located in the old Timonium Superfresh, which closed recently, the space has been redesigned, updated, and refreshed. Even the parking lot has been repaved!

I was lucky enough to be able to go on the day of the grand opening. The staff was very helpful, and created a great first impression of the new grocery store.

I could only stop in briefly, but am looking forward to going back soon. It is just down the street from my Timonium real estate office!
