Price improvement! Take a video tour of this 11306 Hessong Bridge Rd in Thurmont.

Now offered at $450,000 (down from $475,000), this mid-century modern ranch sits on a beautifully landscaped corner lot at the base of the Catoctin Mountains — quiet country living just 10 minutes from downtown Frederick.

Inside, you'll find an oversized living room with a fireplace and picture windows, gorgeous hardwood floors, and classic wood trim throughout. A separate accessory apartment with its own kitchenette, bathroom, and private entrance makes this one a standout. The finished lower level brings fun, retro mid-century charm, and major system updates (Generac generator, new roof, new furnace, water treatment system) mean peace of mind from day one.

If buying a house is still on your radar for 2026, keep the week of September 27 – October 3 in mind!

Nationally, late September and early October are the best times to buy. This seasonal shift is largely due to school schedules and weather patterns, but there are also predictable market trends:

More choices: Typically, the fall brings about 20% more listings than the start of the year, plus homes tend to stay on the market
almost 2 weeks longer, giving buyers more time and opportunity.

Better pricing: Realtor.com says that during this week, home prices could drop about $14,000 lower in price compared to the summer peak.

Less competition: Buyer demand is, historically, 30% less compared to its peak.

Thinking about a move this fall? Let's connect!

Celebrating that Cristi and Aric closed on their first home!

We met with Cristi and Aric last December, and they expressed that they were looking to move from Tennessee back to the Westminster area to be closer to family and plant roots. From there, it was a virtual home search until the right house came along and their offer was accepted. We were even able to negotiate seller credit toward their closing costs.

Here's what Aric had to say:
"Bret and his team were with us every step of the way. The peace of mind we had by having Bret on our side made things so much easier. We are so happy with our purchase and would recommend the team in any stage of their buyer journey!"

Congratulations, Cristi and Aric! We're so happy for you both.

The average U.S. homeowner with a mortgage now holds about $310,500 in equity — roughly five times what homeowners held 15 years ago. For a lot of people, it's the biggest asset they own and the one they think about least.

There are two main ways to use that equity: borrow against it with a home equity loan or line of credit, without touching the mortgage rate you already have, or sell and put that equity toward the next place.

If it's been a while since you checked your home's value, that's usually the first question worth answering.

Open house this Saturday from 1-3pm! Come see 2702 Rainbow Dr in Westminster in person — there's a lot to love here.

Inside, the 2024 remodeled kitchen opens right into the main living space, so there's always room to gather. Upstairs, a bonus room above the garage (hello, sliding barn door) gives you flexible space for movie nights, hobbies, or a hangout spot.

Outside, the covered and screened porch overlooks a fully fenced backyard with an open deck. And with easy access to MD-97, MD-32, and downtown Westminster, you're never far from where you need to be.
