Surging Ashburn Leesburg Virginia Homes for Sale Transactions Upward & Stabilizing Real Estate Prices
Like the dramatically positive news for northern virginia real estate for sale market data in Q 4 (quarter 4) the greater region of Loudoun County homes for sale was also positive to finish out 2009.
Many will want to pin this increase on demand on the government tax credit that was ending originally ending around Nov, but I would say we can't really know necessarily. Perhaps prices being 50% lower than just a couple years ago roughly has something to do with it as well along with the lowest interest rates ever....

Buyers Pay More $$$ for Slower and Less Accurate Appraisals With New HVCC Rules and AMCs--DRAMA!
So the new HVCC (home valuation code of conduct) came out May 1, 2009 and have had a profoundly negative impact on consumers, appraisers--at the least the best, most established ones, real estate agents and sellers. yes you heard that correctly--sellers are being hurt by this overreaching by a federal bureaucrat Andrew Cuomo who himself received big $$$ from AMC (appraisal management company) interests.
Now most large lenders are being required to use AMC--appraisal management companies--to get appraisals done. The AMCs are a 3rd party--an extra layer of bureaucracy for consumers to pay for and wait for--through which lenders now order appraisals. …

The Disappearing Arlington Condo Views in Ballston & Clarendon

Disappearing Views for Top Arlington Condos in Clarendon & Ballston
I just went under contract on a 2/2 1150 sq ft condo on the 16th floor in Continental condo in Arlington VA. One of the issues was the soon to be constructed retail/office buildings across the street. How high would they be--2 office buildings replacing the Bob Peck Chevrolet & Staples buildings? Would the buyer's view be obstructed? We encountered same question at Station Square condo for sale as well with several new buildings well under way so that many units there were also losing their views. These are the types of questions you want to get your own answers for--that is for sure.

1800 Wilson Condo Bomb Hits Arlington VA Real Estate
Thursday, February 12th, 2009 at 3:42pm. 24016 Views, 71 Comments.
(NOTE--THIS POST WAS REALLY FROM MARCH 2007 SO YOU CAN SKIP IT UNLESS YOU WANT A GOOD LOOK AT THE BUILDING) Sorry about that--the transition to the new website/blog has had a few hiccups.
A bomb of sorts just hit the orange line Arlington VA condo market. It's called 1800 WILSON condominium. Many owners just lost $25,000+ instantly....The good news it's somewhat temporary and only affects knowledgeable buyers so that leaves a LOT of buyers left for you to sell your condo at the price you had been thinking. For those buyers "in the know", they will not pay the same for your orange line condo for awhile. Why? Because 1800 WILSON condominium just delivered with 25 more units to sell. Probably many of those are from freaked out investors who backed…

Foreclosure Supply Quickly Decreases in Northern Virginia in Prince William, Fairfax & Loudon County
I've had a lot of people in interested in foreclosures the past 6 months. Often people ask me about them when looking for Clarendon real estate and I have to tell them sorry, but they are few and far between on the orange line.
