Oakley Cabin sits alongside Brookeville Rd, just a short drive (or walk) from historic Brookeville, MD. The log cabin was part of the Oakley Farm and its land was originally owned by Colonel Richard Brooke, also known as "the Fighting Quaker". Oakley Farm's 'big house' dated back to the 1760s - sadly it was destroyed by a fire in the 1970s. Oakley Cabin, built around 1820, is one of originally three such structures and is representative of slave or tenant housing. According to Montgomery County Parks, Oakley Farms was operated by Richard B. Dorsey - a slave owner and later sold to Dr. William Bowie Margruder, also a slave owner. During the late 19th century and early 20th century the cabins formed a roadside community and were occupied by as many as 37 people. Oakley Cabin was inhabited... 09/27/2012

In my humble opinion Sharp's at Waterford Farm has one of the best pick-your-own pumpkin patches in the greater Silver Spring, MD area. Sharp's is located at 4003 Jennings Chapel Rd, Brookeville, MD 20833 - just a short drive from Silver Spring on either Georgia or New Hampshire Ave . Although Sharp's has a Brookeville address, it sits just north of the Howard County line. Sharp's at Waterford Farm will be open from 10 am to 5 pm during their fall season which starts September 29 this year and runs through November 4th. Besides picking your own pumpkins - a free hayride to the patch is included - Sharp's also offers kids activities such as face painting, scarecrow making, a corn maze and mini maze and there are farm animals for the kids to feed. Fall plants, corn, straw bales, gourds, j... 09/22/2012

Brookeville, MD: 18 homes sold during the 2nd quarter of 2012. 17 of which had an average sold price of $478,288 after an average of 43 days on the market. I left 1 sale out of the equation since it was a "the value is in the land"-listing with a tear-down property. The 2nd quarter average close price is less than the 1st quarter's as well the average during the same time frame a year ago. However, price fluctuations are not unusual in Brookeville, MD, depending on how many 1 Million Dollar+ homes sold. If you have a comparably small number of home sales - Brookeville, MD is a quaint community - just one can make a big difference in average close price. During the 1st quarter of 2012 the highest sales price was $710,000 compared to $1,175,000 in 2010.   The average sold price during the... 07/11/2012

Are there homes to be had in Brookeville, MD for under 500K? It's slim pickings but yes. Those, however, may come without an A/C. I showed 2 homes in the area last weekend that did not have any air conditioning nor (enough) ceiling fans - showing them on the last day of a record-breaking heat wave did nothing but make painfully aware the obvious.  However, with a list price in the mid-to-low 400s respectively and fantastic locations in the heart of the historic districts, these homes will sell, eventually. It will take vision, some milder temps and a pot of gold. We have the vision but negative on the pot of gold. It's too bad really since Brookeville is a wonderful area and homes listed for under 500K are far and few between. The average list price for a detached single family home in ... 07/09/2012

Brookeville, MD, a charming town just north of Olney and Silver Spring, MD dates back to 1794. Its appeal to home buyers can be summed up by its historic significance and properties, its location (9 miles to the nearest Metro Station and about 20 miles to Wash DC), its setting (surrounding by spectacular parkland) and recreational opportunities, great schools and a quaint community feel.

It was indeed a chilly weekend in Maryland but we made it a fabulous one! It didn't rain and that made all the difference during our visit to Sharp's at Waterford Farm in Brookeville, MD. In a nutshell Sharp's at Waterford Farm is: hay-rides to the pumpkin patch, a corn maze, farm animals (a flirting goat among others - he was totally smiling at me and posing for pictures!), scare-crow making, gorgeous scenery and super-friendly staff. It's not as popular crowded than other farms in the area which we loved. Sharp's at Waterford Farm presented me with a thousand incredible photo ops and it was very hard to just pick out a few! I hope you'll enjoy! 10/02/2011

Today Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were taken over by the government. This is a milestone, in the current housing situation and hints at many more changes to come.  Namely, does this signify the bottom of the housing market? Many think so. Mortgages rates dropped almost a 1/2 percent today for home buyers. I think the most interesting questions in our area markets is; the upper echelons of the housing markets in the D.C. metro areas are doing quite fine. How will this affect our market? The government taking over these two firms will positively effect our market in a great way. There will be more money to lend and it will be easier to obtain a loan, for qualified buyers. If you are in the market to buy a home, or if you are considering to buy a home; seriously think about purchasing by th... 09/08/2008
