And the windows aren’t the only thing which open up the space – ceilings stand at a height of nine and a half feet.

In 1986, H&S Properties Development Corp purchased the tract in 1986.  Assistant development manager Christopher H. Janian says that “First and foremost, Harbor East was intended to be a self-sufficient neighborhood for native Baltimoreans, a multiuse development modeled after New York City-style streetscapes.”

New York in Baltimore? You heard right. Harbor East is small: the limits are Fleet to Lancaster streets and the harbor to Caroline Street, 70 acres in total which extend the Inner Harbor Promenade. However, the size only serves to intensify the access to the urban park: commerce, shopping, dining, art, tourism, entertainment, and living. Developers are questing to recapture the time when all existed symbiotically in one setting. It’s an absolutely ideal spot for young professionals to blend home, work, and fun.

Harbor East is most well-known for its nightlife – head here to check out amazing stores like Kashmir Imports or Urban Chic, grab a bite to eat at the fantastic Pazo Cinco, and settle down for a drink at the James Joyce or Kosmos Lounge. Or, check out the 7-screen art house theatre at Landmark Theatres, which features gourmet food and bar. Sweet.

Harbor East also features several new  residences, located right in the heart of this pulsing urban hotspot – some of the neatest are the condominiums 850 Aliceanna (great view, big windows, on same street as everything else!) and The Vue (a gorgeous tower residence, also an Aliceanna), and apartments at Spinnaker Bay.

Baltimore’s Inner Harbor continues to be the prime development area for people who want to enjoy living and working in the city, but live in a place where shopping, recreation, and waterfront lifestyle are at their front door. In fact, Baltimore’s Inner Harbor recently received the Urban Land Institute Heritage Award, which has only been given 8 times in the past 30 years. The award is given to those urban designs that are successful after 25 years and that are copied in other cities.

Living in the Inner Harbor is now very possible, as buyers have many Baltimore condos to choose from – and the Inner Harbor is one part of the city that consistently maintains value.

Take a look at these Inner Harbor condos:

Find out why CondoDomain is different from other real estate brokers.

Incentives for new condo buyers are increasing in many real estate markets. Everything from price cuts, free merchandise such as cars and appliances to a year’s free tuition are offered by anxious developers looking to get condo residences under contract and sold. In some markets, tax abatements are offered to new buyers. And then, of course, there is the $8000 tax credit incentive from the Federal government.

In Baltimore, tax abatements seem to be popular, especially in luxury developments. For new construction, the tax is figured on the basis of the price of the home. A Baltimore condo buyer who is downsizing from an existing home may have had their property taxes capped over a period of years, but when they buy new construction, the assessment of the tax starts all over – and is often much higher. With a tax abatement, new homeowners are able to phase in paying 100% of their property tax over several years.

The credit is up for renewal, and it is controversial. For many Baltimore condo buyers, it is a definite sweetener of the deal, and makes living in new construction preferable to other alternatives. There are some arguments to limit the credit to specific areas, or questioning whether the incentive to buy new construction (and thereby build new construction) is an effective use of city dollars.

But for the Baltimore condo buyer, it is a definite plus.

So what is the story with the stimulus and the tax credit for first time home buyers anyway? How different is it from the tax credit that already exists?

Originally, a $15,000 tax credit was discussed, one that would be open to all home buyers who had not purchased within the past three years. This would have carried a 19 billion price tag. Congress reduced it to $8000. But you still are eligible if you have not owned a home within the past three years.

Congress missed a great opportunity to stimulate many local housing markets. With lower prices, low interest rates, and a large tax credit, first time buyers and those starting over after three years could have had some leverage to enter the market and relieve the backlog of inventory. $8000 is not nearly so dramatic, especially since we’ve got a $7500 credit now. The main difference is that this credit does not have to be repaid. It is also not available to those in upper income brackets.

You can claim the $7500 credit on your taxes you will file for 2008. If you buy now, you can claim the credit on the tax return you file in 2010.

Of course, when you buy your Baltimore condo with us, you don’t have to wait to file your taxes for us to cut you our own “stimulus” – we cut you a check at closing. And our check might be larger than $8,000.

Let’s say you buy a Baltimore condo at Adagio or 850 Aliceanna for $500,000. The buyers commission that we collect from the seller will be around $15000. Commission rates and agreements are negotiable, and may vary. But our flat fee for representing you is only $5000. So we cut you a check at closing for the difference, which is $10,000.

But you’re in the price range for about $250K at Ashmore at Germantown. Well, same math. Assume our commission for representing you, the buyer, is around $7500. But our fee is still $5000, so you receive the difference at closing of $2500.

So lets see – we still have low interest rates for qualified buyers (that’s you) a lot of Baltimore condos on the market for the qualified buyer to choose from (again, that’s you having fun house shopping) and now if you are a first time home buyer you get an $8000 credit on your taxes next year (that’s you doing the happy dance in April 2010). AND WE GIVE YOU MONEY BACK AT CLOSING.

Give us a call, we’ll find the right Baltimore condo for lucky you!
