CA Study Shows Effect of Housing Crash on Columbia's Home Values
Study shows home values in Columbia's villages rose 82 percent since 2000, but were highest in 2007, the year before the housing market crashed.
The good news in Columbia Association's recently released real estate study is that home values in Columbia's villages increased by 84 percent between 2000 and 2010. That increase was just above the 82 percent increase in home values countywide, during the same 10-year period. The increases, however, were tempered by the housing spiral, which began in late 2007 and continued to erode home values nationally until 2010. During that period, home values in Columbia dropped by about $40,000 on average, according to the CA study. By 2010 the average home value in Columbia was $326,516 compared to $374,560 in 2007. Check out the graphs and charts above for more detailed information. Among the Columbia villages, Hickory Ridge's homes are the most …

Construction Near Clark's Elioak on MD 108 to Continue into May
The project to extend water and sewer mains between Eliot's Oak Drive and Centennial Lane is ongoing, says county official.
Residents traveling during the day on MD 108 near Clark's Elioak Farm have likely noticed the construction going on nearby due to the road being shifted to a single lane. Expect that to continue between Iron Bridge Wine Company and Eliots Oak Road until the end of May, according to Paul Di Marco, a project manager for Howard County Public Works. Flagging operations will continue from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. as construction takes place near the westbound lane, according to Di Marco.

As part of an agreement, Merriweather can schedule concerts into early June until April 15. "In prior years, the facility has often been able to provide the graduation schedule before that date, but could not do so this year," Amani-Dove wrote.
