I’m Excited About 2014 and You Should Be Too!

I’m Excited About 2014 and You Should Be Too!

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and Christmas season. Today I wanted to quickly go over what the real estate market will look like in 2014. As far as what happened in 2013, a couple highlights were the fact that across the county we saw a 12.5% in values, which is great news. Zillow and other real estate professionals, including myself, are thinking 2014 will bring an additional 3-6% increase in values. That may not be as hot as 2014, but we’re still going in the right direction.

In December 2012, there were 971 closings; fast forward to March 2013 and there were 1,496 closings. As the spring market approaches, we see more homes coming onto the market. In July 2013, we saw 2,496 homes that closed in Northern Virginia. If you’re going to be selling your home in 2014, give us a call and we will set up a pre-listing appointment, learn what your goals and help you achieve those goals.

Stay tuned for more valuable information so you can make informed decisions in the market. Thanks and have a great day!

Happy Holidays and Thank You!

 The holidays are approaching and with that comes the special time of year where we want to give thanks and show love to our family, friends and people who have helped us this past year. I hope my family, clients and business partners feel the same way and offer thanks to the people who have made you the person you are today.

I want to wish you all a happy and safe holiday. Thank you!

Why You Should Hire a Buyer’s Agent

Why You Should Hire a Buyer’s Agent

Today I wanted to talk to you about whether or not you should hire a real estate agent when going to buy your next home. Right now, I am in Aldie where there are new construction properties being built. A good buyer’s agent will preview and study the market, know what is on a resale basis and also what is new and coming onto the market. It is my job to go through model and existing homes to show you what specials and financing builders are providing and compare the information to existing properties that is for sale. As a buyer’s agent, I will keep you informed to make the best decision on your next home purchase.

Thanks and have a great day!
