Selling a House in Homeland
Homeland was planned from 1924 by the Roland Park Company with the Olmsted Brothers, and most of its nearly 1,000 homes are detached houses built between 1924 and the mid-1940s, many in Georgian and Colonial Revival styles. The ponds through the middle of the neighborhood date to the 1840s estate it was built on.
What Homeland homes have sold for
In the six months before November 11, 2026, 28 Homeland homes sold through Bright MLS, from $355,000 to $1,206,000. The median was $795,000, and they averaged 9 days on the market.
Homeland houses vary in size, lot and how much has been updated, so I price from the closest recent sales and show you the sales behind the number, not a neighborhood average.

Homeland Association approvals
Every Homeland property is covered by the 1924 Deed and Agreement, and the Homeland Association must approve exterior changes in writing. Before you list, gather the approvals for past work: additions, fences, windows, roofs and porches. Missing approvals are easier to sort out before a buyer’s title search finds them.
What inspectors find
- Slate and tile roofs, flashing and chimneys
- Original steel or wood windows
- Older wiring and drains, and basement moisture
Price the big items before you list, so they don’t turn into credits after the inspection.
Your closing costs
City rates apply, and sales over $1 million carry the City’s yield tax, which raises the total deed taxes from 3% to 3.75%. See Baltimore City transfer taxes, explained and run your own numbers on what it costs to sell in Baltimore City. All figures are estimates, and commissions are fully negotiable and aren’t set by law.
What I bring to this
I live in Lake Evesham, a few minutes from Homeland, and I’ve managed rentals since 2014, so I know what repairs cost and which ones buyers pay back. Since 2023, my listings have sold for a median 103.6% of the original asking price, in a median of 6 days on the market. More on the neighborhood: Homeland guide.

About Mike Fielder
Mike Fielder is a Baltimore Realtor and Sales Director of The Key Home Team at Cummings & Co. Realtors. Licensed since June 2016, he focuses on North Baltimore (Lake Evesham, Lake Walker, Cedarcroft, Hampden and Remington) and the Towson area. He works with buyers and sellers throughout Maryland and in parts of Pennsylvania, where he’s also licensed. He also serves as Vice President of the Lake Evesham Community Association.
Over his career, Mike has sold 190 homes worth more than $56 million. He’s backed by The Key Home Team, which has sold more than $375 million in real estate and closes about $30 million a year.
Mike founded Property Management of Baltimore in 2014, two years before getting his license, and still runs it. Managing rentals taught him what repairs really cost, which updates buyers pay for, and how to keep a deal moving when something breaks. Sellers get that judgment when deciding what to fix before listing. Buyers get it when they’re reading an inspection report.
A Towson University graduate, Mike keeps his approach simple: price from real recent sales, spend money only where it pays back, and compare offers by what the client actually keeps.
