Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,

Happy New Year!  Maybe 2015 will bring some fresh snow with it rather than just freezing temperatures.  Be careful what I wish for, right?  The cold weather we are having today makes conditions ripe for snowmaking at Wisp, though.

Greetings from DCL...Casselman & Stage Wisp...Tax Tips...Ski-In/Out Homes

Looking to sightsee this winter?  Take a drive to Grantsville, MD to see the historic Casselman River Bridge.  While you’re there, enjoy a home cooked meal at Penn Alps and shop at Spruce Forest Artisan Village.

Weekly updates by Betsy Spiker Holcomb of Taylor-Made vacations and Sales. Lights, camera, action!  The snow guns are on in preparation for Wisp Resort’s official opening day – this Saturday, December 13th.  The up-and-down weather we’ve had has made it quite challenging to open but the colder temperatures this week along with the dusting of fresh snow we’re getting should make for well-groomed trails.  The picture below was taken from our office window.  You can see that they are also preparing a base for the snow tubing area.  It is indeed time to wax your skis & snowboards and give your lungs a fresh workout in the crisp, cool air!

Deep Creek was recently featured in the Baltimore Sun.  The article touched on the real estate market, the history of the area, what to do and why to visit.  Another interesting tidbit I learned today from the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce is that our county has had the highest increase in visitors across the state for 2012 & 2013 year, beating out Ocean City and Baltimore.  http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/chesapeake-home/ph-mg-cl-deep-creek-20141119-story.html

The November Real Estate stats have been released and you can see that solds & contracts are up compared to the 5-year average and the average days on market (DOM) is down.  These 3 indicators all point to a healthy climate for both buyers and sellers.  2014 is finishing up strong and what we’ve seen over the last year is an environment where sellers are getting a fair price for their properties (when compared to today’s value) and buyers have been able to negotiate to a number where they feel comfortable settling.  For more detailed statistics on a particular segment of the market just shoot me an email, text or call.
