Baltimore-area housing market in March
You can check out today's story about how home sales and prices fared in the Baltimore metro area last month, or you can chew on these stats -- or, better yet, both:
4 percent: The drop in average sale prices between March 2009 and March 2010
17 percent: The increase in the number of homes sold, year over year
1,808: Homes sold last month
3,648: Homes sold in March 2005, pre-bust
39 percent: The increase in the number of contracts signed, year over year
Also the share of homes in Baltimore City bought entirely with cash
12 percent: The all-cash share in the 'burbs
4/30: The deadline to sign a contract to qualify for the $8,000 first-time buyer tax credit or the $6,500 repeat-buyer credit
