Quick History of Short Sales in Northern Virginia
When I first wrote about Northern Virginia short sales October 2007 (scroll to bottom of article for bulleted advice) they truly were the wild wild west of real estate.

The inventory of single family homes for Fairfax Virginia real estate doubled in a short few months during the 1st half of 2006.
