Billionaire Warren Buffett said the U.S. will recover
from the residential real estate slump by 2011 as
demand for houses catches up with the supply that
accumulated during the bubble.
“Within a year or so, residential housing problems
should largely be behind us,” Buffett wrote Saturday
in his annual letter to the shareholders of his
Berkshire Hathaway. “Prices will remain far below
‘bubble’ levels, of course, but for every seller or
lender hurt by this there will be a buyer who
benefits. Indeed, many families that couldn’t afford
to buy an appropriate home a few years ago now
find it well within their means.”
We’ve been talking about it, promoting it, and finally it’s here. This weekend we introduced the Sedona Spa Bath product to public with stunning reactions. Haverford Homes is really excited about this new addition, and looks forward to launching this new feature plus some other new designs in near the future. Stay tuned……

Realty Times – Are Foreclosures A Real Deal?.
Other issues must be taken into consideration, as well. The process of buying a foreclosure can take weeks longer than traditional negotiations. This is simply the nature of the beast. A foreclosure is a legal process. A foreclosure also mean you must buy title insurance. According to CBS money watch, “A title search will pick up errors before you sign the check and protect you if something was overlooked. In the unlikely event that a former owner returns to challenge the foreclosure, the insurance company will defend you.”
Foreclosed houses also warrant very close home inspections. There have been horror stories of new owners finding cement poured down drains by the disgruntled evicted. Be sure to see the house for yourself before you sign on the dotted line. And have a licensed professional carefully examine the home.
Even if the property hasn’t been purposefully vandalized, many foreclosures need extensive repairs. A home may simply have been neglected and older homes require updates and normal upkeep. Budget carefully as you assess how much work the property will require.

Last night 10.29.10, we took home two big awards. We are so thankful to be recognized by The Maryland-National Capital Building Industry Association. Thank you!
The team of Haverford Homes and Greenhorne & O’Mara Inc., share the honor for Equestrian Estates, a single family detached residential community in Upper Marlboro, MD. Haverford and G&O successfully completed this project utilizing a cluster subdivision approach allowing for the preservation of more than 48 acres of the 95-acre site. Two in-stream stormwater management facilities were designed utilizing bio-retention and infiltration. The community is further enhanced by a hiker/biker and equestrian trail located within the stream valley that was constructed using recycled materials, including recycled concrete, natural wood chips and recycled stone. Overall, this project is an excellent example of a developer and an engineering firm working together to provide sustainable development solutions that improve the lives of the communities where we live and work.
