The largest single share, 32%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Anne Arundel County as a whole (45% built before 1980).¹ On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Edgewater are older than rentals: a median build year of 1979 against 1989.¹ Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.

Within Anne Arundel County the median is $467,900, so Edgewater sits close to it.¹ Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
