Top 5 Must-See Open Houses ⚓🏴‍☠️
Ahoy, Neighbors!! 🏡🐾
Gumbo sniffed out the treasure. I charted the course. This week's haul came back heavy — five gems, every one a chest worth cracking open. Big water, big history, big b***y.
Grab a coffee, hoist the colors, and set sail 👇
🏴‍☠️ 1979 BALTIMORE ANNAPOLIS BLVD — ANNAPOLIS | $3,000,000
Five beds, two baths, 5,522 finished feet. Built in 1940 and still the loudest cannon in the harbor. The one you've sailed past your whole life and wondered about. Now the hatch is open. Go plunder in person.
Listed by Coldwell Banker Realty. MLS # MDAA2152854
⚓ 9600 OCEANVIEW LN — OCEAN CITY | $3,649,000
Five beds, four and a half baths, 6,486 feet. Ocean City done right — room for the whole crew and then some. This be the summer that never strikes sail. Bring the sunscreen and a serious offer, matey.
Listed by Meredith Fine Properties. MLS # MDWO2038310
🗺️ 245 LONG POINT RD — CROWNSVILLE | $1,999,900
Three beds, three and a half baths, 3,743 feet. Built in 1930, tucked away, quiet as a becalmed sea. Old bones, good bones — the kind of place that already knows how to keep a secret buried. Come dig up what she's holding.
Listed by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Homesale Realty. MLS # MDAA2139768
⚔️ 268 KING GEORGE ST — ANNAPOLIS | $1,575,000
Four beds, three and a half baths, 2,372 feet, built in 1918. Downtown Annapolis, walk-everywhere, history in the floorboards. You can't fake a berth like this and you can't build it either. They already did, a hundred years back.
Listed by Monument Sotheby's International Realty. MLS # MDAA2151574
🦜 405 QUAIL RUN DR — CENTREVILLE | $1,500,000
Four beds, three baths, 2,976 feet on the Eastern Shore. Room to breathe, room to roam, room to finally drop anchor. Cross the bridge and slow all the way down. This one's worth the voyage.
Listed by Benson & Mangold, LLC. MLS # MDQA2017880
And listen — treasure like this, you don't want to board alone and get the third degree from a stranger at the gangplank. That's where we come in. This crew's racked up 50-plus five-star reviews for one simple reason: we take care of people first, and the rest wor

🐾 Gumbo put his nose to the ground this week and dug up five fixer-uppers worth a hard look. Investors, sharpen your pencils.

🔨 3407 NEWTON ST, MOUNT RAINIER — listed at $249,900
A tired little bungalow with great bones, inside the Beltway and a stone's throw from DC. The neighbors already proved it out. Renovated homes on this same block are trading north of $600K. Gut it, pop the top, cash in. My favorite flip on the board.

🧱 74 N DUNDALK AVE, DUNDALK — listed under $100K
Read that again. Solid brick rowhome that needs the works, and the house right next door is hitting the market untouched for more than double. Flip it or fix-rent-refinance it and pull your money right back out. Numbers don't lie.

🛠️ 518 ARRINGTON RD, QUEENSTOWN — listed at $222,000
Eastern Shore charmer on a big lot. Lighter lift on this one, cosmetics not a gut job, so less surprise and more margin. Kent Island's calling.

🚪 7800 W SHORE RD, PASADENA — listed at $389,900
Big house, big yard, water-privileged Green Haven. Two front doors means two rent checks. Set it up as a duplex or a multi-gen and let it pay you every month. Room to grow on three-quarters of an acre.

🔑 5705 REDMOND ST, BROOKLYN PARK — listed at $279,900
Newest bones of the bunch. Cosmetic love only, kitchen and baths and paint, then hand the keys to a tenant. Rental-ready without the headaches.

Got a couple wildcards in my back pocket too, including an auction sleeper. These move fast and they don't wait around. You bring the vision, I'll bring the deal. Good bones, better upside, the kind of jam that builds while you work it. Let's talk. 📲

Top 5 Must-See Open Houses
Good Day, Neighbors!! 🏡🐾
Five open houses this weekend. Gumbo sniffed 'em out. I drove 'em. Between the two of us, we've got opinions.
Grab a coffee. Here's the lineup 👇
🌊 130 ARUNDEL BEACH RD — SEVERNA PARK | $2,000,000
Six bedrooms. Five and a half baths. 4,165 square feet of "honey, we are never moving again." Built in '97, kept in excellent shape, and sitting on one of the best-known roads in Severna Park. This one's the headliner. Big, quiet, expensive luxury — the good kind.
Listed by The KW Collective. MLS # MDAA2150660
🔨 1220 INDIAN LANDING RD — MILLERSVILLE | $1,650,000
Brand new. 2026 build. Five beds, four and a half baths, 4,918 finished feet. That new-construction smell is a real thing and it's undefeated. Proud to say this one's a Long & Foster listing.
Listed by Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc. MLS # MDAA2144624
⛵ 4958 LERCH DR — SHADY SIDE | $995,000
Three beds, two baths, 1,887 feet. Small house, big everything else. Shady Side is the Anne Arundel we all pretend we discovered first — crab shacks, slow boats, and neighbors who wave. Under a million and one day on the market. Move fast on this one.
Listed by Beam Realty Group, Inc. MLS # MDAA2146836
🏚️➡️🏡 1241 JOHNSON DR — SHADY SIDE | $750,000
Built in 1944 and still standing prouder than most things built last year. Three beds, two and a half baths, 2,176 feet, very good condition. Old bones, good bones. If you like a house with a little Wu-Tang in it — rough around the edges, timeless underneath — go see this one.
Listed by RE/MAX One. MLS # MDAA2151144
🌉 101 MARION QUIMBY DR — STEVENSVILLE | $399,000
Kent Island, just over the bridge. End-unit townhome, 1,184 feet, one bedroom and two full baths — so it's a weekend place, a downsize, or a "I'm done cutting grass" place. Simple as that.
Listed by Engel & Völkers Annapolis. MLS # MDQA2017960
And listen — you don't have to walk in alone and get the third degree from a stranger at the door. Text me. I'll meet you there. I'll tell you what I like about the house, and more importantly, what I don't. That part's free. Always take care of people first, and everything else work

Anne Arundel: Rates Went Up, But You've Got Room to Deal (July 2026)

Good Day, Vic & Gumbo Here.

Every headline out there is howling the same note this month. Rates are up. And yeah, they're right. The 30-year fixed climbed to about 6.55% on July 16, up from 6.49% the week before. A one-month high. Not exactly the song you want stuck in your head when you're trying to buy a house.

But a headline is a bumper sticker. It fits the whole truth about as well as Gumbo fits in that little Elvis jumpsuit. 🕺 Looks good on the poster. Leaves a lot out.

Here's what it leaves out, and it's the part that matters if you're looking around Annapolis, Severna Park, or the Broadneck side. More homes are hitting the market. Buyers have real choices again, and the mob that used to swarm every listing has thinned right out. That's leverage. And leverage is quiet money. It doesn't make the news, but it shows up at the closing table.

The rate story, minus the drama

They went up. Blame some overseas mess and inflation that won't take the hint. The folks who forecast this stuff, Fannie Mae included, figure the 30-year hangs around 6.4% through the end of the year, maybe eases a touch into 2027. Nobody serious is promising you those 3% pandemic rates are walking back through the door. I wish. They're gone. Down with that disease, as they say. 🎸

But rates are one instrument in the band. The other one is how many houses are for sale and how many people you're bidding against. Both of those just swung in the buyer's favor. So the market where you had to waive the inspection, throw forty grand over ask, and write a love letter to the seller's goldendoodle? That's loosened up. Not gone. Loosened.

What it looks like in our backyard

National numbers are the weather report. Your street is the actual climate.

Around Anne Arundel right now, prices are holding steady, maybe up a hair from last year. What changed is that homes sit a little longer and there's more of them to pick from. In Severna Park and Arnold, the well-priced stuff still moves. The overpriced stuff just sits there like a stale bag of chips, then chases the price down two weeks later anyway.

🍷🐾 Who's ready for a career change? Serious question: Who wants to buy a winery? 

Gumbo's been dreaming about this one. Ever pictured trading the commute for a tasting room? Pouring your own label, hosting weekends in the vineyard, your dog napping under the vines while the wine club checks in? It's more within reach than you'd think — and closer to home, too: 

🍇 Frederick, MD — turnkey boutique winery, event venue + Airbnb income on 20.5 mountain acres — $1.8M 
🍇 Waterford, VA — winery estate in Loudoun's famous wine corridor — $3.95M 
🍇 Waterford, VA — vineyard property in horse-and-wine country — $1.99M 
🍇 Natural Bridge, VA — winery with jaw-dropping Shenandoah views — $2.65M 

(Gumbo has personally sniff-rated all four. His notes: "smells like opportunity." 👃) 

And here's the kicker: these aren't just pretty land. They're businesses with multiple income streams — tastings, weddings, events, lodging, wine clubs. Maryland's wine industry has grown over 250% in the last decade, and good properties move FAST. Two others we were tracking this spring are already under contract. 🏃 

Want the full breakdown on any of these — the numbers, the acreage, what the business actually earns? That's literally what we do. Vic handles the spreadsheets. Gumbo handles morale. 

And yes — Gumbo has officially volunteered as your Chief Vineyard Patrol Officer. Duties include: guarding the grapes, greeting the wine club, and quality-testing every patch of shade on the property. Excellent nose, questionable work ethic, works exclusively for treats. 🦴
