Overall Appreciation for 20646 vs. Charles County vs. Maryland vs. USA

Market Overview (July 2008 to January 2025)
La Plata (20646): Your local market has shown remarkable resilience and growth, starting around $300,000 in 2008, experiencing some volatility through 2014, then maintaining steady appreciation to reach today's median value of $528,790, with a slight 0.4% decrease over the last month.
Charles County: The county has followed a similar but less volatile pattern than La Plata, beginning around $260,000 in 2008, experiencing a longer recovery period until 2016, then showing consistent growth to reach approximately $500,000 by 2025.
Maryland: The state market started around $320,000 in 2008, remained relatively flat until 2016, then experienced steady appreciation, now sitting at approximately $515,000, showing slightly stronger overall growth than Charles County but less than La Plata.
United States: The national market began significantly lower at around $180,000 in 2008, remained nearly flat until 2012, then showed consistent appreciation, accelerating after 2020 to reach approximately $370,000, representing the strongest percentage growth among all areas despite the lowest absolute values.
Key Insights
La Plata (20646): Your local market has consistently maintained higher property values than the county, state, and national averages, making it a premium location within the region, though it experiences more market volatility than broader geographic areas.
Charles County: The county showed the slowest initial recovery from the 2008 housing crisis but has demonstrated reliable and consistent growth since 2016, providing good stability for homeowners.
Maryland: The state market closely tracks La Plata's trends but with less dramatic peaks and valleys, offering a more predictable appreciation pattern that has resulted in values approximately 3% below La Plata's current median.
United States: While starting at the lowest values, the national market has shown the most dramatic percentage growth over the period, nearly doubling in value since 2008, with particularly strong acceleration during the post-pandemic period.
Recent Performance for 20646
Your property shows a 0.4% decrease over the past month, which is a minor fluctuation in the overall strong market. The 12-month change data appears to be missing from the chart (shown as "-"), but based on the trend line, your property likely experienced approximately 5-7% appreciation over the past year, which remains healthy compared to historical averages.
Recommendations
Given these trends, your timing to sell is generally favorable as your property value is near its historical peak. The slight 0.4% monthly decline could signal the beginning of a seasonal adjustment or market stabilization rather than a concerning downturn. However, based upon the seasonal trends, we would advise to wait until the Spring to list your property.
The Odds of Selling: The Last 12 Months vs. 2024 vs. 2023
2023
Key Insights:
  1. Strong seller's market with 73% odds of selling, exceeding the 70% target for short-term homeowners.
  1. Consistent selling pace of 2.0 properties per month with balanced inventory (2.0 months).
  1. Low failure rate with only 5 properties not selling, indicating good market absorption.
Key Takeaway: 2023 presented an excellent selling environment with high success rates and balanced inventory, making it an ideal time for sellers to list their properties.
2024
Key Insights:
  1. Significant market cooling with selling odds dropping to 52%, falling below the recommended 60% minimum threshold.
  1. Slower selling pace (1.4 properties/month) with increased inventory (2.8 months) indicating a shift toward buyers.
  1. More failed listings (12 properties) compared to 2023, suggesting increased buyer selectivity or pricing challenges.
Key Takeaway: 2024 showed a notable market correction with increased inventory and substantially lower selling odds, requiring sellers to adjust expectations and pricing strategies.
The Last 12 Months
Key Insights:
  1. Market recovery with odds of selling at 69%, nearly reaching the ideal 70% threshold for short-term homeowners.
  1. Accelerated sales pace of 1.7 properties per month with extremely low inventory (0.0 months).
  1. Moderate number of unsold properties (9) indicates some selectivity remains despite inventory shortage.
Key Takeaway: The current market shows strong recovery with near-zero inventory creating favorable conditions for sellers, though not quite matching 2023's peak performance.

Guidance for Moving Forward
Purchasing Difficulty: The current zero-month inventory indicates extremely high competition for buyers, likely resulting in multiple offer scenarios and potential above-asking prices.
Selling Difficulty: With 69% odds of selling, your property has good prospects for sale, though slightly below the ideal 70% threshold for short-term homeowners.
Guidance: Given the strong recovery trend and critically low inventory, this is a favorable time to list. However, proper pricing remains essential as the market hasn't fully returned to 2023's peak conditions.

How to Read: WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF SELLING YOUR HOME? (Click to Expand)
As you may be aware, not all the homes that are put on the market are sold. Some of the homes on the market do not sell and are either withdrawn or have expired. This graph summarizes all the real estate activity in your area over the last couple of years. The homes sold are the actual properties that were SOLD that year. The homes “Withdrawn/Expired” are homes that were listed and then taken off the market because they could not sell for the value they had with the price they were located at. The homes shown as “For Sale” are the homes that are still listed at the end of the year.
Buying Patters: 2023 vs. 2024
2023
Key Insights:
  1. Spring/early summer (April-June) marked the strongest selling period with 15 of 24 total closings, with May being exceptionally active with 8 closings.
  1. The market showed minimal activity in winter months with no recorded closings in December and January.
  1. After June, market activity decreased significantly with only 6 closings during the entire second half of the year.
Key Takeaway: 2023 presented a distinctly seasonal market with a concentrated selling window in spring, suggesting timing is critical to maximize your exposure and potential offers.
2024
Key Insights:
  1. Activity spread more evenly across 2024, with smaller peaks in March and July (3 closings each).
  1. Total transaction volume decreased from 24 closings in 2023 to 17 in 2024, indicating a cooling market.
  1. Unlike 2023's single strong season, 2024 showed two milder selling periods in early spring and mid-summer.
Key Takeaway: The 2024 market demonstrated more consistent but reduced activity throughout the year, with smaller seasonal peaks and an overall decline in sales volume.

Current Selling Opportunity Assessment (February 2025)
Market Timing Factor: Historical data indicates February typically has low to moderate activity (1-2 sales), suggesting limited buyer pools compared to peak spring months when more buyers are actively searching.
Property Marketability: Both years' data show that listings prepared to close during spring (April-May) or mid-summer (July) would likely attract more potential buyers due to historically higher activity during these periods.
Guidance for Moving Forward
  1. Optimal Listing Timing: To maximize exposure and potential offers, consider listing by mid-March to capture the spring market, which historically shows the strongest activity, particularly in April-May.
  1. Pricing Strategy: Given the market cooling trend (24 sales in 2023 vs. 17 in 2024), competitive pricing will be crucial, especially if listing outside peak seasons.
  1. Preparation Timeline: If listing now (February), your property may experience extended market time compared to spring listings, so ensure your home is exceptionally well-prepared and priced strategically.
  1. Marketing Emphasis: Highlight features that appeal to spring/summer buyers, such as outdoor living spaces, as these seasons have historically shown the strongest buyer activity.
  1. Action Recommendation: For optimal results, either list immediately with competitive pricing to beat the spring competition, or take time to thoroughly prepare your property for a strategic March-April listing when buyer pools historically expand significantly.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PUT MY HOUSE ON THE MARKET? (Click to Expand)
The next graph I’ve included is the Buying Pattern for your subdivision. The graph shows actual data for the homes sold in your area. There is a data point or each SOLD property that shows the date it sold and the price it sold at. You can get a good indication of when the best time for you to put your home on the market (and get it sold) might be. Be aware that these are CLOSED dates (most homes close within 4-6 weeks after going under contract). To take advantage of these patterns, your home should be listed 30-45 days before.
Average Time to Sell: 2023 vs. 2024
1
2023
Key Insights:
  • Properties sold for an average of $535,872 with most sales concentrated in the $400K-$600K range, indicating a stable mid-range market.
  • The average 69-day closing period suggests a balanced market, with most properties selling between 30-100 days.
  • Properties that stayed on market longer (150+ days) generally maintained their value, showing price stability despite extended listing periods.
2
2024
Key Insights:
  • Average property prices increased by 5.3% to $564,316, with a wider price range including more properties in the upper brackets ($700K-$1M).
  • The market became more efficient with average closing time decreasing to 60 days, indicating increased demand.
  • The data shows a more distinct clustering of sales in the 30-60 day range, suggesting buyers are making decisions more quickly.

Key Takeaways for Selling a Home
Selling Ease Assessment: The market has become more favorable for sellers since 2023, with properties selling 13% faster and at higher average prices. You should expect reasonable interest if your property is priced appropriately, as the data indicates increasing buyer readiness to act quickly.
Seasonal Selling Considerations: The data suggests properties that sell within the first 100 days attract the strongest demand. If your listing extends beyond this window, you may experience less buyer activity, though price integrity has historically remained stable even for longer-listed properties.
Guidance for Moving Forward
  1. Prepare for a likely 60-day selling process, but know that proper pricing and presentation could potentially accelerate this timeline given the faster-moving 2024 market.
  1. Your property is in an area with demonstrated price appreciation of 5.3% year-over-year, which provides compelling evidence of La Plata's strong market position when marketing your home.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR YOUR PROPERTY TO SELL? (Click to Expand)
The next graph looks at all the homes that were sold recently in your area. The number of days on the market before each property was sold is also shown. In summary, the average time on the market is a good indication of how long your home may be on the market. Generally, 60-70% of the homes sell before this red line. If your home is not sold at or near that line, your Odds of Selling will start to go down dramatically.

Price-Impacting Factors
Negative Factors:
  • Significantly smaller than primary comp (12675 Amberleigh)
  • No finished basement (though this is neutral compared to primary comp)
Positive Factors:
  • Larger lot (4.65 acres vs 3 acres for the primary comp)
  • Same desirable Amberleigh Farms neighborhood
  • Similar wooded setting (neutral compared to primary comp but potentially desirable for privacy seekers)
Market Context
  • Based on the scattergram, there's a clear correlation between square footage and price
  • The La Plata market appears to be a seller's market but trending toward balance (3.01 months of inventory)
  • Median sold price in La Plata is $434,195 with 99.7% sold-to-list ratio
Final Thoughts
The subject property should be priced below 12675 Amberleigh Lane ($559,900) due to its significantly smaller size, but the additional acreage (4.65 vs 3 acres) provides some added value. The wooded setting is consistent with the comp, so no adjustment needed there.
The $490,000-$520,000 range places the home competitively in the market while acknowledging both its limitations (smaller size) and strengths (larger lot). This price point should attract interest while leaving some room for negotiation if needed.

Comparables & Location of Comparables

How an Appraiser Looks at Comparable Comps (Click to Expand)
Appraisers value a comparable property (or “comp”) by analyzing recent sales of similar properties in the area. They consider key factors like square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, lot size, location, and the condition of the home. Adjustments are made for differences between the subject property and the comparables, such as upgrades, amenities, or features like a finished basement or a pool. Appraisers also account for market trends and the time since the sale of the comp to ensure the valuation reflects current market conditions. Ultimately, this process helps establish a fair market value for the property being appraised.
