Great Falls Virginia Real Estate Market Bottomed Out in 2011

Friday, February 10th, 2012 at 4:11pm. 132 Views, 0 Comments.

The Bottom for Great Falls VA Real Estate was 2011

I thought it would be worth pointing out that prices in Great Falls have bottomed out in my opinion.   The biggest correction of course was in the upper quartile as you see from the graph below.  But once it corrected it's been flat ever since.  I would add the other quartiles but they are as flat as the median prices so no need to have too many lines on the graph.  Busy charts are distracting.

And we see January off to good start with more Great Falls homes for sale closing or fully under contract than past few years.  Any fence sitters...I'm not saying the prices are about to rise.  But I don't see them falling anymore .

The Courthouse Auction Myth -- Fairfax County and Northern Virginia Great Falls Foreclosures 

Jay Seville: Hi, I’m Jay Seville, owner of Just New Listings.com realty and this morning I’m on the way to the Courthouse for an auction in Fairfax, Virginia. I'm going to look around about six properties that are scheduled to be auctioned according to the information in RealtyTrac.

Should You Work with Desperate $$$ Real Estate Agents?

This is one of the most uncomfortable issues to consider as a buyer or seller; I think the issue is more relevant on the buyers side though.  Should you work with agents who are not doing a lot of business that might be desperate financially?  If an agent's entire income is from real estate and he only does 6 deals a year how can one count on him being sold out to his fiduciary duties to you the buyer versus trying to close a deal? 

It is a legit question and one that the most effective agents embrace....So let's cover it here shortly in our series of How to Pick a Real Estate Agent.
