Baltimore’s past was built on industry: steel mills and automobile plants. Today, the future is being built by the high-tech, medical, financial and service sectors. Older industrial buildings and factories have become the premier Baltimore real estate addresses of the dot-com age. Turn-of-the-century (20th Century, that is) homes are being remodeled and made ready for the families and workforce of the digital generation.

How much (if anything) has your real estate agent told you about any potential hazards of living in a 100-year-old structure? These are all things an experienced local Baltimore Real Estate Agent will be able to tell you.

  • Is that property you are considering as a home for your family a total rebuild (probably not), a thorough rehab (most likely) or just covered with new surfaces (quite possibly)?
  • (A) Has the plumbing been replaced ALL the way to the street or is the feed line still some 75+ year old (maybe) lead pipe?
  • (B) 100 year old city homes (probably had damp basements at one time or another. Have joists been replaced or may they contain decades-old mold?
  • (C) Is there still lead paint existing on “covered up” wood?
