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.

How to Sell an Arlington VA Condo:
So what's the best way to sell a condo in Arlington Virginia real estate? I think it's pretty simple to figure out. Pretend you're going to buy a condo in Arlington VA. Then make sure your condo is found when using the methods for searching for a home employed by buyers in the 21st century.Don't get stuck on the idea of photos of your home in the newspaper that make you feel so special, "Look, mom, that's my home in the Arlington Sun Gazette! Aren't you proud of me, dad? I'm important now everybody...."

So who is looking in the Sun Gazette (insert your local community newspaper) to do their home searches? Probably not the buyers. But I'm sure other sellers are there looking at their pretty homes. …

Do Floaters Pay too Much for their Condos or Real Estate?
In putting together a new overpriced condominium list I came across the sale of a Clarendon / Courthouse area condo on my previous list I wrote in the Summer 2007. Most of you know I sell a lot of condos--yes I'm a realtor--and pride myself on protecting my client's interests. Too bad this buyer didn't have a rockin' consultant looking out for him. And it's too bad the buyer wasn't reading my blog....
Back in July 2007 I posted this article: Latest Overpriced Condos in Clarendon, Courthouse and Ballston -- V. I try to write these articles semi-regularly; it's just that I'm pretty busy with a lot business, family trips, 4 kids, etc. So I've just pulled up a new round of overpriced…

Phoenix Condo Drama in Clarendon Continues. Is This Opportunity???
Early purchasers in the Phoenix Condo contacted me several months ago with complaints about prices and quality of construction and now about half are trying to get out of their contracts. The original article on this subject after several owners reached out to me for advice on extricating themselves from their contracts while not forfeiting their initial 5% deposits of $20,000+ is here: Sun Sets on the Phoenix Condo at Noon.
At that time the buyer referred to below, Joetta, had written me a long email to post that I later removed by the request of she and her attorney. Here's the most recent update on it from this article in the Washington Business…

Top 12 Condos on the Orange Line Metro in Arlington VA
Have you ever tried to come up with a top 5, top 10 or top 25 list? It's brutal!#!#!@! It will drive you crazy
I can assure you. Once you have your picks for whatever list you are constructing you then have to rank them and you go through through the mental triathlon again. At the end of each year it seems like lots of lists come out that use the formula "Top 10 Xs of 2007" or the "Funniest Yx of 2007" or the "Worst 10 Zs of 2007". And once in awhile you hear about the "Greatest 100 Rock 'n' Roll Songs of All Time". Whoever has time to rank those 100 songs must have a boring life to say the least. I can hardly rank my top 5 movies.
I'm finding so little time to blog anymore so that…

If you're considering purchasing a condo in the area read the Ultimate Guide for Buying Arlington Condos in Clarendon.
[a new overpriced condo listing got emailed to me by my good friend Frank of FranklyRealty.com who is one of smartest realtors I know out there--of course I'm the smartest realtor of all though
since a good portion of my readers don't realize that's what I am. He pointed out a 1BR listing at $499,000 in Clarendon 1021 with 780 square feet #919. So it's number 8 below on the overpriced condo list. Anytime any of you are suspicious of overpriced condos send them in and I'll check them out when I can or write me directly. They have to be very overpriced…

Market Values for Condos in Arlington VA
I've noticed in the last 2 weeks the emergence of a new market value for 1 bedroom condos in Arlington VA on the orange line in Clarendon, Ballston & Courthouse. What used to be in the low $400,000s may now be worth in the upper $300,000s. Here are some recent Arlington condo listings--some of them in my favorite buildings such as Continental, Odyssey and 1800 Wilson.
What is interesting is that 2 of them are in Odyssey--in my opinion the premier condo of Arlington VA on the orange line. Another is in Continental and 1800 Wilson and Clarendon 1021. These are cutting edge communities and for 4 listings to come out recently under $400,000 in these buildings could be a sign of what I'm expecting--a…
