CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS THE SPECTACULAR WATERVIEW ESTATE

REALTORS® Leah & Denise, Kirk Burbage & Meegan & Ryan John Kennedy I am so appreciative of the excellent service I received by the Milko LeCates Group during the sale of a prestigious water-view estate home. From the beginning their knowledge of Maryland real estate, their creativity in advertising, and devotion to both the seller and buyer was stellar. When there were issues, they immediately found solutions. And, on top of being the best realtors around, they are delightful to work with. I highly recommend their services. ~ Kirk Burbage, Berlin, MD

SEASIDE RETREAT • OCEAN BLOCK I expressed interest in purchasing an Ocean City condominium; my attorney said ‘I know the best realtor in town. She has listed, rented, and sold several properties for me over the years.’ Within hours on a Sunday evening, we had Denise on the phone making appointments to see properties.

After looking at many properties on bitterly cold days, this dynamic duo, the mermaids of West OC, negotiated and procured my wife and me the exact real estate property at the price we wanted to pay. Not only was it a pleasure working together, but I am also looking forward to a lifetime friendship with the Milko LeCates ladies, Denise and Leah. ~ Dale and Carol Lucas, Green Spring Valley, Brooklandville, MD

TRAPPE CREEK • WATERFRONT ON 1.6 ACRES Working with Denise and Leah was a pleasure. They were always professional and helpful. Their years of service and success made a very stressful time a smooth transition. We would highly recommend them to all of our family and friends. ~ Valerie and Dave Sharp, Berlin, MD

I'd highly recommend Denise Milko and Leah LeCates for your Ocean City real estate needs. Denise and Leah are consummate professionals who worked extremely hard on our behalf. Their transparency and communication throughout the entire process was greatly appreciated. Despite COVID-19 throwing a few wrenches, in what would be a more normal real estate process, we knew we could rely on both of them, day or night, to answer questions and put our minds at ease. I felt Denise and Leah truly cared about us - not just as clients, but as friends - and I know our best interests were always on their minds. Without the Milko LeCates Group at Holiday Real Estate, my wife and I might very well still be searching for our forever home...Denise and Leah made that dream a reality. ~ Ryan John Kennedy, Ocean City, MD

OCEAN HIDEAWAY • BOARDWALK

It has been my pleasure to purchase and sell various properties in Ocean City, Maryland, with Denise Milko’s assistance since about 1998. I have felt that her guidance has been helpful as she was always looking out for MY best interests. During the Spring of 2020, just prior to the COVID situation, I sold a property with her as my agent.

Denise was able to provide me with relevant staging suggestions, and I was able to handle the document signings remotely. Both she and her husband, Jerry Milko, are a fabulous team, as they know the Ocean City housing market. I appreciate her everpresent positive attitude, engaging smile, and willingness to make sure that the purchase or sale gets finalized. I also feel blessed that she has become a friend over these many years! ~ Adele Morris, Virginia/Ocean City, MD

I highly recommend working with Milko LeCates Group. Denise Milko and Leah LeCates sold my oceanfront penthouse condominium for top dollar. The transaction went smoothly and hassle-free. They saw it from start to finish without a glitch. They came highly recommended by an OC businesswoman, and I’m thankful I followed her lead. They worked through a holiday weekend to get top dollar and the deal done.

This team knows how to sell resort real estate. ~ Dan Mason, Harbourside at Heron Harbour Isle, Ocean City, MD

Denise and Leah are the very best.

They were above and beyond our expectations that we could have asked for. They were helpful, kind, efficient and extremely knowledgeable in everything they did. That is so needed in our lives today. My brothers and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. They worked relentlessly, and we were elated with the results, selling fast and over the asking price! ~ Patsy Lane Baker & The Lane Family, Ocean City, MD

WASHINGTON – Existing home sales continued to trend upward in October, marking five consecutive months of month-over-month gains, the National Association of Realtors reported on Nov. 19.

All four major regions reported month-over-month and year-overyear growth.

Total existing-home sales increased 4.3 percent from September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.85 million in October. Overall, sales rose year-over-year, up 26.6 percent from a year ago (5.41 million in October 2019).

"Considering that we remain in a period of stubbornly high unemployment relative to pre-pandemic levels, the housing sector has performed remarkably well this year," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist.

While coronavirus-induced shutdowns hindered virtually all markets, Yun says the housing industry has mounted an impressive rebound.

"The surge in sales in recent months has now offset the spring market losses," he said.

"With news that a covid-19 vaccine will soon be available, and with mortgage rates projected to hover around 3 percent in 2021, I expect the mar-

ket's growth to continue into 2021."

Yun forecasts existing-home sales to rise by 10 percent to 6 million in 2021.

The median existing-home price for all housing types in October was $313,000, up 15.5 percent from October 2019 ($271,100), as prices increased in every region.

October's national price increase marks 104 straight months of yearover-year gains.

Total housing inventory at the end of October totaled 1.42 million units, down 2.7 percent from September and down 19.8 percent from one year ago (1.77 million). Unsold inventory sits at an all-time low 2.5-month supply at the current sales pace, down from 2.7 months in September and down from the 3.9-month figure recorded in October 2019.

"Homebuilders' confidence has soared even though the actual production has not," Yun said. "All measures, such as reduction to lumber tariffs and expansion of vocational training, need to be considered to significantly boost supply and construct new housing."

Yun's call for an increase in newly built homes comes on the heels of NAR's quarterly Metropolitan Median Area Prices and Affordability re-

‘The surge in sales in recent months has now offset the spring market losses.’ port, which found that single-family existing-home prices rose in all of the 181 metropolitan areas NAR tracks.

Sixty-five percent of those metros show double-digit price increases.

Yun says replenishing the short supply of homes would help decelerate rising costs and improve market affordability.

Properties typically remained on the market for 21 days in October, seasonally even with September and down from 36 days in October 2019.

Seventy-two percent of homes sold in October 2020 were on the market for less than a month.

First-time buyers were responsible for 32 percent of sales in October, up from the 31 percent in both September 2020 and October 2019. NAR's 2020 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers revealed that the annual share of first-time buyers was 31 percent.

Individual investors or secondhome buyers, who account for many cash sales, purchased 14 percent of homes in October, a small increase from the 12 percent figure recorded in September 2020 and equal to October 2019. All-cash sales accounted for 19 percent of transactions in October, up from 18 percent in Septem-

ber but unchanged from October 2019.

Distressed sales – foreclosures and short sales – represented less than 1 percent of sales in October, equal to September's percentage but down from 2 percent in October 2019.

According to Freddie Mac, the average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage decreased to 2.83 percent in October, down from 2.89 percent in September. The average commitment rate across all of 2019 was 3.94 Single-family home sales sat at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of

6.12 million in October, up 4.1 percent from 5.88 million in September, and up 26.7 percent from one year ago. The median existing single-family home price was $317,700 in October, up 16.0 percent from October 2019.

Existing condominium and co-op sales were recorded at a seasonallyadjusted annual rate of 730,000 units in October, up 5.8 percent from September and up 25.9 percent from one year ago.

The median existing condo price was $273,600 in October, an increase of 10.3 percent from a year ago.
