The Annual Anne Arundel County Volunteer Firefighters Parade will be coming to Crofton, MD this year on September 11, 2010. Volunteer Firefighters from around Anne Arundel County will be bringing their firetrucks for the largest parade Crofton has had in quite some time.

There are over 100 units expected to be in the parade and on display. The parade will be held starting at 10:00 AM, and expect it to last a while with that many participants. The firetrucks will be staged near Urby Drive and will travel along Crofton Parkway to Duke of Kent. They can be viewed anywhere along the way.

Residents should be aware that the parade route will be closed off to normal traffic for several hours on the morning of September 11, 2010. No complaints as this is a privilege to have the Firefighters choose our community for their parade.

Bring the kids, bring a chair, bring your community pride, and let's honor the Volunteer Firefighters of Anne Arundel County. Let's show them what kind of party Crofton, MD can throw.

Crofton, MD has had a total of 193 homes that have sold from January 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010. Of these, only 15 were bank owned (foreclosure) sales. This equates to 7.7% of total sales. Compared to other communities in the area, this is a very small number.

The process of purchasing a bank owned property is well documented, and varies only slightly from a normal resale. The fact that there hasn't been many foreclosures in Crofton, MD has tended to help keep property prices stable.

The Crofton, MD rental market is extremely robust right now. Quality, affordable rentals are very hard to come by. I'm getting calls and emails every day from people looking for decent rentals in the area. Renters are getting pretty aggressive trying to get into a place before school starts.

Many military families are being relocated and will be working at Ft. George G. Meade, or the NSA. Some as a result of the Base Realignment and Closing initiative (BRAC), and others with their Permanent Change of Station orders.

Crofton, MD is an excellent choice for renters. Located about 15 minutes from Ft. George G. Meade, Crofton has a lot to offer both buyers and renters. 

Crofton has a nice selection but only 20 rental homes in the current inventory. This is a pretty small inventory for a community this size. All of the properties are condos or townhouses. No single family homes are available today, August 15, 2010. That will change.
