Deputy Mayor Resigns, Speculation Emerges

Bethany Clark — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:24:04 +0000

While most people think that the best way to affect change is to move into government, Deputy Mayor Andrew B. Frank appeared to indicate an opposite opinion yesterday: he is leaving his governmental post for a private position with a university. Baltimore Deputy Mayor for Economic and Neighborhood Development Andrew B. Frank announced his resignation yesterday, along with his intention to leave City Hall mid-May for a advisement job with John Hopkins President Ronald J. Daniels. His new job includes economic development advising, and working on neighborhood revitalization with the East Baltimore Development Initiative and the East Baltimore Community School. The massive east side redevelopment project has been long stalled, and strongly opposed by displaced locals. Frank is a strong member of City Government and will be sorely missed. Baltimore infrastructure has seen significant improvements: the city maintained a high bond rating, experienced population growth downtown, and the “Superblock” was completed. Previously the Executive Vice President for the Baltimore Development Corporation, he is admired by many city businessmen, who used their influence to assure that he would remain in office after Dixon’s resignation. So why leave? One of the highest-ranking officials from the Dixon administration retained by Mayor Rawlings-Blake, Frank claims that disagreements with the new mayor had nothing to do with his decision. However, several occurrences may indicate otherwise. Former Mayor Dixon’s legal troubles partly stemmed from her relationship with developers, and city officials have privately speculated that Frank was considered “too close” to Dixon. Furthermore, Rawlings-Blake made several changes to Frank’s staff, “dismissing one assistant deputy mayor and demoting another. Kaliope Parthemos, Rawlings-Blake’s former assistant chief of staff and childhood friend, became Frank’s sole assistant deputy mayor,” according to the Baltimore Sun. Interesting. She has also publicly declared that the Baltimore Development Corp. should be more ‘transparent’, and a mayoral spokesman confirmed Tuesday that Frank had lost his city-owned take-home car (a 2006 Ford Escape hybrid) after Rawlings-Blake took office. Needless to say, whoever Rawlings-Blake chooses to fill Frank’s position with will certainly be a decision to watch. Considering the pertinence of economic issues to Baltimore, it will certainly a good indicator of her upcoming term. If Frank’s job is anything to judge by, East Baltimore will soon be experiencing a huge redevelopment overhaul: check out listings on CondoDomain now, and beat the rush.

Goldseker Grants Money for Community Development

Bethany Clark — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 23:53:08 +0000

[caption id="attachment_293" align="aligncenter" width="362" caption=""][/caption] Media sources were buzzing yesterday with the news that the Goldseker Foundation has granted $435,000 to a select group of Baltimore city schools. However, the grants came with some interesting stipulations: the money must be used in partnership with their surrounding neighborhoods. These joint grants serve to improve not only schools, but the community as a whole. The Goldseker Foundation intends to build healthy neighborhoods from the inside out by improving educational standards and serving the children of the neighborhoods. Better educational standards raises property values, and the grants are expected to make the neighborhoods more desirable places to live through better upkeep of properties and stronger ties to the community. School grants were offered between $20,000 and $50,000 for the improvement of academics in order to attract residents. Neighborhoods that received grants had already received “Healthy Neighborhoods” program grants from Goldseker, and could win $20,000 to $30,000 to support community organizing and incorporate the schools into Healthy Neighborhoods marketing. As reported by the Daily Record, the eight Baltimore city schools which have received grants are: Cross Country Elementary/Middle School, which received $50,000 for technology integration (in partnership with Comprehensive Housing Assistance Inc., who receive $25,000) Calvin M. Rodwell Elementary received $50,000 for the WeatherBug Science curriculum (its partner Garwin Oaks Northwest Housing Resource Center got $25,000) Gwynns Falls Elementary received $50,000 (in partnership with Greater Mondawmin Coordinating Council, which received $25,000) The Neighborhoods of Greater Lauraville Inc. won a total of $40,000, for partnerships with City Neighbors Charter School, ($25,000), and Hamilton Elementary/Middle School and St. Francis of Assisi School (both $20,000). $35,000 each was granted to the Greater Homewood Community Corp. with Barclay Elementary/Middle School and Margaret Brent Elementary/Middle School. My personal favorite is the Calvin M. Rodwell Elementary grant for its WeatherBug Science curriculum. Students claim that if they had used the curriculum in the first place, they would have been better prepared to inform their community about the impending blizzards. Cutest. Although the grants will be immensely useful, only schools which bested the city average test scores were awarded the money, which seems only to further the gap between academically successful schools and many others that are struggling. Furthermore, the pattern of rewarding high test scores often leads to devaluation of a whole education in favor of drills and practice tests. Timothy Armbruster, the president of Goldseker, claimed in a press release that strengthening connections between schools and neighborhoods “is one more step in making the city more reponsive and attractive to a wide range of families, including Baltimore’s growing middle class.” Check out listings in these up-and-coming neighborhoods (see Lauraville or Homewood) on CondoDomain.

Mayor Promises No Rise in Baltimore Property Tax

Bethany Clark — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:09:04 +0000

[caption id="attachment_268" align="aligncenter" width="329" caption="Baltimore Sun photo by Algerina Perna"][/caption] Brand new Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake addressed the city yesterday in her first state of the city address since her election, as reported by The Daily Record last night. Her mainly economic speech focused on the budget woes of Baltimore (the city has accumulated a $120 million budget deficit). Most notably, she stated that the deficit is in fact equal to a 36-cent raise in the property tax – however, she pledged to avoid raising the property tax in Baltimore, telling City Council that “if we work together, we can pledge we will not raise property taxes to fix this budget gap.” The property tax issue is certainly one of the first things on the minds of real estate developers and investors. Fear of raising the already steep tax is palpable as leery investors stand back and assess the health of the real estate market, the development of which would certainly be harmed by a property tax increase. Currently, Baltimore taxes real property at twice the rate of anywhere in Maryland: $2.268 per $100 of assessed value. Whether Rawlings-Blake will be able to accomplish this goal remains to be seen. Nearly 60 percent of the city’s funds come from property taxes. “The Great Recession has created the most difficult budget environment in memory. By making everything a priority, nothing is a priority. Our limited resources have been spread too thin, in too many areas. As a result, we now inherit a devastating $120 million deficit,” she is quoted by Daily Report. Rawlings-Blake has been supported by fellow councilmen in this decision, one of whom claims it to be a simple “yes-no” decision.

Baltimore Ritz-Carlton Condos Refinanced

Bethany Clark — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 23:17:09 +0000

If you’re looking to buy in the super-luxury market in Baltimore, you’re in luck – the Ritz-Carlton has avoided its debt crisis. RXR Realty, the developer for the beautiful new Ritz-Carlton on the Inner Harbor, recently announced that it has secured a $176 million loan to refinance the project, as reported by the Baltimore Sun just yesterday. This step will allot RXR a three-year extension to market the many unsold units. In fact, only 23 of the 190 units have been sold since its opening (most famously to novelist Tom Clancy). The Ritz-Carlton is set in arguably the most beautiful spot in Baltimore, on Key Highway over looking the Inner Harbor. Its stunning views of the skyline and convenient location compliment unparalleled style and luxury and the Ritz-Carlton five-star service. Floor-plans include one, two, and three bedroom units, all of which have exquisite finishes and the finest accoutrements, from rich hardwood flooring to distinctive moldings. Ritz Carlton Baltimore provides residents ultimate luxury right in downtown Baltimore. The combination is simply incredible. Condos for sale range from the upper $600,000s to more than $5 million. RXR’s refinancing holds several important implications for the city of Baltimore. The marketing of these units will attract higher-income taxpayers to alleviate the city’s financial burdens and the strain on the middle class. Furthermore, the fate of the Ritz is sure to inform development decisions concerning future luxury condominiums, adding weight to the outcome of the property. Check out CondoDomain’s listings for the Ritz-Carlton Residences on the Inner-Harbor, and schedule a tour with us!

More Good News for Baltimore Market

Bethany Clark — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:42:18 +0000

A couple recent reports offer further encouragement concerning the real estate market in Baltimore! 1. The Baltimore Sun recently reported that “more homes were sold last month – and for more money on average – than a year earlier in the Baltimore metro area.” Metropolitan Regional Information systems released the numbers Wednesday, and it’s good news. Home sales are up 9% from last January: about 1,100 were sold, and the average sale price increased by just over 2 percent at $272,000. Furthermore, “average buyers last month got homes for about 11 percent below their listing prices.” With prices beginning to rise, the extension of the first-time home buyer credit until November, and the snowstorms officially past (knock on wood), times are looking good to get that condo on the water you always wanted. 2. RealtyTrac has also released reports that, although the national foreclosure drop for January was 10%, Maryland’s foreclosures have actually dropped by 23% from December, as reported by Gazette.net. (Points for beating the national average by over half!) Make a move now: check out CondoDomain for Baltimore listings, and see how we can save you thousands.

10% National Foreclosure Drop For January

Bethany Clark — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 22:00:49 +0000

As we struggle to pull out of the Great Recession, there’s no doubt that the crash of the housing market greatly contributed to our current economic status. Using the real estate market as a temperature gauge for our current status works well, and RealtyTrac has released the latest results on the housing market for January -and although they are initially encouraging, the future may still hold trouble ahead (I know, that’s just what you wanted to hear. Let’s hope they’re wrong.) According to the data report from RealtyTrac, filings for foreclosure in January were reported on 315,716 properies – 10% less than December, but still 15% up from January ‘09. The data includes mortgage default notices, house auctions and home repossessions by banks. While this looks like good initial news, the original story in Reuters also reports: “While January’s decrease may indicate foreclosure prevention efforts are gaining traction, the data has been volatile in recent months and foreclosure appear poised to rise again.” While unemployment rates have begun to slightly improved, the 9.7% of those who are still unemployed are preventing monthly mortgage payments. Furthermore, this encouraging 10% drop was also exhibited in 2009 – “January foreclosure numbers are exhibiting a pattern very similar to a year ago,” RealtyTrac’s chief executive officer James J. Saccacio wrote in a statement to Reuters. He also stated that if past behavior was any measure, a surge in the numbers over the next few months was to be expected. Clearly, the best news in this market is that this is the perfect atmosphere for first-time home buyers. Obama will even send you a check for your purchase – and so will we.

Baltimore Listed as One of the Best Cities For Retirement!

Bethany Clark — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:18:47 +0000

Although the weather outside may be coaxing your thoughts towards your dream retirement in South Florida, take note! The best spot to retire might be right in your own backyard. As Jamie Smith Hopkins first reported earlier today, Where to Retire magazine has released results for the “eight hippest cities to live in America” from it’s upcoming March/April issue – and Baltimore has been included. “Baltimore has a vibrant, revitalized waterfront, museums, world-class medical facilities and everything from historic brownstones to new luxury townhomes,” Hopkins cites magazine editor Mary Lu Abbott as saying. Furthermore, another requirement for qualification is “unusually good buys in housing.” Baltimore has often been touted as one of the better urban locations for retirement, but its high ranking in Where to Retire should encourage you further unto its merit. Within the city of Baltimore, Mt. Vernon has historically been counted among the best neighborhoods for retirement. Known as the lively cultural center of Baltimore, it offers an excellent option for retirees seeking to avoid suburban monotony. A historic location set right in the heart of the city, it offers easy walking access to the beautiful Inner Harbor. Culture gurus will also enjoy the proximity to the symphony hall, opera house, the Peabody Library, and the Walters Art Museum. For an avant-garde taste, Theater Project is also nearby. But hey – Mr. Vernon clearly isn’t just for those seeking to retire. Mt. Vernon is a great location for young professionals as well – or anyone else desirous of a diverse, cultural urban center near the water. Contact Simon Warner for information on condominiums in Mt. Vernon, or check out other listings for Baltimore condos! Still convinced that warmer is better? Well, Fort Worth, TX was also listed as one of the hippest spots to settle down, so you can also check out our Dallas area site for up-to-date information on condo listings down south.
