This holiday season, we wanted to do something to give back to the community. We're starting the Sweet Dreams Holiday Campaign! We will work with Head Start to give new pajamas to children in need.

We're asking our clients, friends, and family to consider donating a pair of new warm pajamas for children between the ages of three and five. The Head Start program serves local families, low-income families, and children with physical or developmental disabilities. This is a great opportunity to make a difference within Howard County.

There are a couple of ways you can donate. You can buy a pair of pajamas in that size range and bring them to our office, located at 8840 Columbia 100 Parkway, Suite 110. We're open Monday through Friday from 9 to 5. You can also order the pajamas online and ship them to our office address.


We need your donations by December 15th. That's our deadline. We need time to wrap and deliver the pajamas for the children before the holiday.

If you want to know what child you are helping specifically, give us a call at 410-964-2400. We can give you the name, age, and gender of the child you are helping. If you are feeling especially generous, you can shop for more than one child. We appreciate all the help and support we receive.

If you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email. There are so many drives going on to help our community. We want to do our part to help some nice children's dreams come true. From our family to yours, have a happy, healthy holiday season!

It's Mike Sloan with the Pat Hiban Group, and today I'll be giving you the latest stats from our local real estate market.

  • Through 2015, settlements are up by 20%
  • The average sales price increased to $477,390
  • 62% of all closings were between $200K and $500K
  • Only 3% of closings were above $1 million
  • There have been 559 transactions between $400K and $500K, and 639 between $300K and $400K

What does this mean for you? It means that if you have a home in the $200K to $500K range, then you should consider selling it right now because we have a lot of buyers looking to purchase within that range.


If you're buying outside of these price ranges, then you're going to have your pick of good homes. What's even better is that interest is still very low, and this allows you to save a lot of money over the lifetime of a loan.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us! It's a great time to get into the real estate market.
