ABOUT REAL ESTATE IN CECIL COUNTY, MARYLAND
Lovely waterfront properties with Chesapeake Bay frontage and other properties with river frontage on the Elk River, the Susquehanna River and other rivers are popular and priced more attractively than in counties farther south on the "western shore" of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
PIERS. Cecil County offers properties with frontage on the Chesapeake Bay that can accommodate piers that may not be possible in areas of the Chesapeake Bay in more southern regions. Water movement is hard on piers where the tides are strong and the waves may, in a storm, just tear a pier apart, sometimes slowly, sometimes overnight. However, Cecil is in the far northern area of the Chesapeake Bay and water front properties with piers are popular.
The summer of 2009 offers wonderful opportunities for you to buy a home on the waterfront in Cecil County. Many small lot waterfront homes can be purchased in the $300,000 to $500,000 price ranges. More land, more water frontage or sandy beach properties will be priced higher. The waterfront "premium" for sandy beach, properties with piers or Mean Low Water of 3 Feet or more will have a significant premium of about $100,000 to $300,000 higher than similar properties that are not waterfront.
