Every year for as long as I can recall, Vampire Manor has existed at one location or the other throughout the county. This year is no exception, and although the opening date seemed a little late, they are officially open now through November 1st. It’s a fun little haunted house, and it’s certainly designed for the older kids (not the sort of place for toddlers here).
If you want something fun to do this Halloween, you should check them out! Ticket prices range from $5-$10, and their hours are as follows:

  • Thursday – Sunday, Oct 16-19

  • Thursday – Sunday, Oct 23-26

  • Thursday – Saturday, Oct 30-Nov 1

7:30-10:00 on weeknights

7:30-11:00 on weekends

All of the proceeds go to the local Volunteer Fire Department and other local non-profit organizations, so it’s all for a good cause! Bear in mind that there is no on-site parking, so you will need to park at the Bel Alton VFD:

9765 Bel Alton Newtown Road
Bel Alton, MD 20611

They have a courtesy shuttle running to and from the Manor, so just be aware of the parking situation before you go!

County August Housing Market Chart Pt. 1

The volume of foreclosures in P.G. County is still roiling the local real estate market.  Inventory (Active Listings) continues to rise (over 8,000 homes available, there were less than 1,000 listings at the peak of the market), and home sales continue to slope downwards.

It’s interesting to note that there was a spike in average sales price, but this is likely due to larger homes returning to a realm of affordability, and not a general market improvement.  The average volume of sold properties continues to suffer, indicating further market challenges.

It’s impossible to say when the market will turn around for P.G. County, but it is without a doubt still a long road ahead.
