Anne Arundel's housing market, by the year

I usually look at the region as a whole, but I know you're probably more interested in what's happening to a somewhat smaller housing market. Your neighborhood, say. Or at the very least, your county or city.

Over the next week or two, I'll share graphs that show the change in sales and prices in each of the six jurisdictions that make up the Baltimore area. First up: Anne Arundel County.

Here's a look at how the number of homes sold has changed in Anne Arundel since 1998 for the month of June, with data pulled from Metropolitan Regional Information Systems' RealEstate Business Intelligence arm:

And here's the same snapshot for average and median sale prices:

Anyone looking to buy -- or sell -- in Anne Arundel County? What are you seeing out there?

Do you think BRAC, the base realignment and closure process that's set to come to a close Sept. 15, has had any effect in this county?

I'm not sure how much the brac realignment really helped out the area as much as it was expected after all that hype. Most of the jobs are contracting jobs, the housing is in VA, PA & Howard Co, PG County & Baltimore Co. Because of the hurting ecomony the contractors are & aren't doing so well, the staffing agencies are doing great & the Baltimore City was left behind like all those projects next to the light rail.
