“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” – Mark Twain
My name is Jay Ferguson and I am one of the owners of the real estate division of Taylor Made Deep Creek Vacations & Sales. I am entering my 19th year in the real estate business here in Garrett County and at Deep Creek Lake.If you are interested, you can click here find out more about me personally and my background.
I will be writing a monthly blog post about our local real estate market, sharing & interpreting statistics and offering some insights into the market as a whole…as I see it. These are my personal thoughts and musings about the market in general and are not intended as anything more specific. And, to be clear, I am an optimistic, glass half-full kind of guy.
Lastly, every stat I reference is based on the official stats published by Bright MLS on or around the 15th of each month. My plan is to give you straightforward stats coupled with my analysis from the front lines and let you interpret what you read in your own way.
Our market remains hot so far in 2020.You would think the warmer temperatures and winter weather ‘struggles’ we have experienced would put a damper on things here, but the truth is – the numbers tell a different story. Vacationers are still coming up, regardless of the weather. We are selling out 100% of our rentals on these prime ski weekends, so that tells me there is more than a ski resort that is a draw to so many. We are blessed to live in a special place and I think people truly love coming here as their sanctuary/family getaway. THAT – and not the weather (or lack thereof) is what is driving the real estate market we see. Supply is LOW. Demand is HIGH. That is a winning recipe for shedding inventory and driving prices up. I think our ‘spring market’ is here in full force, albeit a little earlier than usual.

How Triple B BBQ Got Started
Brent Sanders served in Operation Desert Storm as a member of the Navy. Upon his return, he worked for the Garrett County Sheriff’s Department for 21 years. With the encouragement of his father, he decided to pursue his passion for cooking. He and Autumn worked together to help out friends with small catering jobs. Word-of-mouth led to an increase in requests. To keep up with the volume, they purchased a barbecue trailer.
Triple B BBQ Today
Brent and Autumn just completed a new building with a barbecue kitchen at their home in Pleasant Valley. This will allow them to take on more events like family reunions, weddings and business luncheons. Future plans for the kitchen include offering take-out.
They also plan to set-up the barbecue trailer to more public locations throughout Garrett County. You can find out where they will be by following their Facebook page.
