Not due to some decline in the housing market. Houses were selling for 40-50K over the asking price. Even on some main roads.

All Olney/Sandy Spring schools have above average rating on GS,minus Sherwood which is a 5. Aspen Hill schools are horrible and have 3's and 4's.

I'd not consider them "above" avg. They are typical avg schools for MCPS. Not good but not terribly bad either.

I live in Aspen Hill and haven't noticed this. Think most people in Olney are staying put and there are just more houses currently selling in Aspen Hill.

Olney has seen tremendous growth. I doubt any housing markets in the immediate would be taking a hit.
