In a recent Forbes article, Baltimore metro area was ranked as the fourth most overpriced area in the United States. Francesca Levy of Forbes wrote a piece titled “Where U.S. homes are most overpriced.”
According to the December 3rd, 2009 Forbes article, the top ten overpriced metro areas in the U.S. are:
To read the original Forbes article and view the full list of the 40 most overpriced metro areas in the U.S. go here Forbes.com.
The table in the article goes on to rank the Baltimore metro area:
ninth (9th) when looking at Properties with Price Reductions
eight (8th) when considering List Price versus Absorbed Price
tenth (10th) in Days On Market
twenty-first (21st) on the Five Year Price Forecast
Basically, this determined that homes, here in Baltimore, were on the market longer and sold for less than the original list price. I am uncertain if that should or would be an accurate measure of how to be ranked. It is, however, certainly interesting information and could help explain quite a bit about our current market.

The much-anticipated extension to the home buyer tax credit has finally been approved. The Senate’s vote yesterday resulted in a 98-0 win and today it was passed in the house. The bill now moves to the President’s desk for a final signature.
First-time home buyers have been eligible for tax credits of up to $8,000 since last January as part of this year’s economic stimulus package. The newly backed program will expand the credit to include existing home owners.
Under the revised program, those who have owned a home for at least five years will be able to apply for tax credits of up to $6,500 when they purchase their next home. To qualify, buyers will have to sign a purchase agreement by April 30, 2010 and close by June 30.
The maximum purchase price on a home will be $800,000 with vacation homes not eligible. Income limitations are $125,000 for single tax payers and $225,000 for joint filers.
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) have been lobbying hard for the extension and expansion of the tax credit. NAR claims that so far, about 1.4 million first-time homebuyers have qualified for the program and they estimated that 350,000 of these buyers would not have otherwise purchased.
The tax credit is also set to be extended for another year for military personnel serving outside of the United States until June 30, 2011.
