Local Montgomery County Weather The Washington DC, Montgomery County Maryland area is wonderful for those who enjoy all four season, and minimal extremes. Located right at the Mason-Dixon line that has historically divided America’s North and South, on the East coast; the average high in the hottest month of July is approximately 85 degrees, and the average low in the coldest month of January is approximately 25 degrees. Locals experience some Springtime weather as early as mid-March; the Summers can get quite hot, but rarely extremely hot for long stretches; Fall is perhaps the most beautiful and pleasant time of the year, with the turning of the leaves, and temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s; and Winters offer some white, without the amount of sustained cold and precipitation that allows snow to pile up, and roads to be consistently hazardous. |  | | | A dusting of December snow, in Darnestown | |

Bargain Properties >A Home With a History A colorful history can add significantly to the value of a home. Researching the provenance of a property you are interested in buying can be both interesting and ultimately profitable. The market value of a home will be greater if it was designed by a notable architect, built by a company with a reputation for the finest construction, or lived in by a celebrity who hosted famous guests.
Ask your real estate agent if there is any historical data of significance associated with the home, or if previous owners were VIPs. Note the names associated with the deed and title to the home, and look them up with the help of the local historical society. Consult the microfiche in newspaper archives for references to colorful details of the home's past. The county assessor's office may have records of the date the home was built, and building permits may reveal the name of the architect. When inspecting the home, search closets and attics carefully for hidden historical "treasures".
Buying an older home at a bargain price, then re-selling when it is renovated and restored can be an enjoyable and lucrative adventure.
