We have definitely entered into the political season here in Anne Arundel County, MD. I've had at least six aspiring office holders knock on my door here in Crofton, the mail carrier's back is hunched with all the post cards he has to deliver, and of course...the signs.

As Realtors we know about signs, don't we? Here, our temporary signs are restricted as to time and location. No earlier than Friday at 3 PM, and down by Monday at 9 AM. State and County highway right of ways are a no-no. Violate these simple rules and your signs are subject to removal...and you're subject to fines.

No so for politicians. These are the same citizens who make the rules we have to live by. However, when those same rules might impact something they want to do...the just exempt themselves. Do not call list isn't a problem for politicos, is it? Temporary signs, which would be illegal for any other citizen in the County, aren't a problem for politicians. Me, I'm going to vote for the person with the nicest looking sign. That's the way its done, isn't it?

Maryland has a primary on September 14, 2010. The winners of the primary will keep their signs up and the losers...well, those signs are destined for posterity. Sometime after the General Election on November 2nd, we'll get our sight lines back on the highways and byways.

Gee, I wonder what would happen if I put my directional right in the middle of this pack?

Bowie, MD has been one of those areas hardest hit by foreclosures. Homes that complete the foreclosures process become bank owned properties and are listed with a local real estate brokerage for sale. The purchase of a bank owned property isn't much different than a normal resale. 

Bowie, MD has had 562 homes sold since January 1, 2010. 208 of these homes have been bank owned (foreclosed properties). So far this year 37% of properties in Bowie, MD have been foreclosures.

Bank owned properties are usually sold "as is," and the offer has to go to someone in the bank for a approval. A few extra addenda here and there and you can be the owner of a bank owned property.

Right now there are sixty two bank owned properties for sale in Bowie, MD. Details on each of them can be viewed on the map below.

If you're not already working with an agent, I can show you any active listing in Maryland...including those Bowie, MD bank owned foreclosures.

Homes that have completed the foreclosure legal process frequently revert back to the bank, if they're not perviously sold at auction. While Crofton, MD doesn't have a significant number of bank owned properties, some are always available for preview and purchase.
