Jay Ferguson – Real Estate Market Update February 23
Post Deep Creek Dunk weekend update! The dunk was a HUGE success. The local version for GC school kids, the Cool Schools Dunk, raised over $42,000! That money stays here in Garrett County and will benefit special needs programs locally. We are in the middle of a nor’easter as I type this. Probably 7-8 inches of fresh powder on the ground, and it’s a winter wonderland outside right now….after 61 degrees temps last week. Welcome to Garrett County! The interest rate news today is that they are the lowest point since 2022 – average 6.09%. If you are in the market for a mortgage, our in-house lenders can help. The Ross Group at Intercoastal Mortgage is fantastic to work with – HIGHLY recommend! Inventory is starting to creep up again – it’s certainly that time of year. Keep in the loop with some of my buyer tools like auto email updates, custom searches, and disclosure files for ANY and EVERY listed property for sale. If you need information on anything real estate related, I’m your guy 🙂
