Is Now the Right Time to Buy?

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

A recent article in the Baltimore Sun says yes, now is the right time to buy. According to Christopher Thornberg, interests rates are continuing to come down and housing prices are at some of the lowest they’ve been. He says “affordability is at record levels” and “you have to be in long term.”

He also explains that we should start to see improvement in the housing market. Thornberg states, “We’ve burned up excess supply, foreclosures are starting to decline, income is starting to rise, jobs are starting to rise. Housing should start to turn the corner this year…”

Valuable information and very nice to see so many articles pointing to an improved housing market in 2012!

New Kids in Town

Monday, February 6th, 2012

You may notice some new additions to our website and that’s because Kaine Homes has expanded north! Get to know our new communities in Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties…

Maple Ridge is a beautiful community for the active adult in Anne Arundel County. These attached villas provide single-family living without all the yard maintenance. The first floor master bedrooms allow for easy living plus two bedrooms and a loft on the second floor give you plenty of room to spread out. Both floor plans allow for dual master suites or second floor master suites and all homes include a 2-car garage. The community offers three swimming pools, club house, fitness center, nature hiking and biking trails and playgrounds, making it ideal for someone looking to stay active or settle down and retire. In an Active Adult community, at least one permanent resident must be 55 years of age and no permanent residents under the age of 19 years of age are allowed to live in the home. We have purchased the final building in this established community and will finish the remaining seven homes.

Located just outside the Baltimore Beltway is Tameron Woods. We will be offering several new floor plans for Kaine Homes as well as some of your favorite Kaine plans. All of the homes offered in this community include four bedrooms and two and a half baths, 2-car garages, a stone water-table on the front. This community was well planned with wide streets, open spaces, and wooded back drops. Minutes from the beltway, shopping, and restaurants. We only have eight homesites remaining in this established community.

Want more information? Browse our website and chat with us or contact our models. Laura will be representing our two new locations and comes with great experience and an even better personality-be sure to stop in one of the communities and meet her!
