Dundalk Real Estate Report

Taking a look at real estate trends in Dundalk.

How does Dundalk fair in the current real estate market?

In October of this year, 27 homes sold in the 21222 Dundalk zip code out of 267 active listings. Three of these sales were foreclosures and three were short sales, where the bank allows the owner to sell the house for less than owed on the mortgage. Fifteen of these were attached homes, townhouses or rowhomes, 12 of them were detached single family homes. Two-thirds sold in less than 120 days. These 27 sales account for 5.7 percent of the total homes sold in Baltimore County in October.

Most of these homes were purchased using Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured loans, a federal assistance option that originated in the 1930’s during the Great Depression and has recently gained popularity again due to poor economic times. Five of the homes were purchased with cash, which may indicate an increase of investors in the Dundalk area.
