Baltimore real estate: Guess that number

Baltimore-area home sale figures for March are expected out next week. A Wonk reader suggested a game to while away the time: Guess what some of the important numbers will be.

It's a good time for it, since spring begins in March -- many buyers get serious in spring.

So in the comments below, make a prediction: How many new (pending) contracts were signed last month in the Baltimore metro area? In February, it was 1,800. In March 2008, about 2,300. (Want more data? Go to Metropolitan Regional Information Systems.)
