Latest Market Trends for Arlington Virginia Mortgages and Appraisals

Being a real estate blogger I'm on the front end of the market on many fronts.  Telling people towards end of 2005 to NOT BUY ANY new construction Arlington condos was an example as well as my warning that prices would fall big time in North Springfield real estate due to a 40% swell in inventory a couple years ago.  When you blog about the local Northern Virginia real estate market and Arlington you have to stay on top of things.  Not to mention the JustNewListings.com team has about 6 homes under contract right now so we've got our pulse on the market more so than other realtors.

I've seen a lot of low appraisals this year and a lot of late appraisals as of the last few weeks.  My…

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.  I mean seriously there were no rules and the best advice was run like heck away from any and every short sale.  The norm was a desperate seller looking for a guinea pig contract to take to their bank and bef for mercy asking the bank to accept less than the balance on the mortgage note.  The bank would take 4-12 weeks to respond to the contract on the table while the buyer hung in limbo so they could almost always receive a resounding "No!" from the bank.  So the…

Investor Alert for Arlington Condo Investment Property

Occassionally I stumble across listings that strike me as compelling investment opportunities or good deals for buyers looking for primary residence.  So I've decided to add a category to this blog on just that "Investor Alert / Deal of Week" for occassionally putting these compelling properties out there for you.

compelling_gaze_at_arlington_real_estate_investors_525   So you see this is a compelling gaze at investors to say what are you going to do about it this opportunity.  When I flickered "compelling" I got that and selected it over this for obvious reasons. another_compelling_gaze_240  There is a difference between a compelling gaze and a pshycho gaze you see when it comes to real estate investments....And with the new site I might make it possible to subscribe to an…

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.  When you compare Arlington to other counties in terms of the # of foreclosures as a percentage of the inventory it's amazing how Arlington VA in practically foreclosure free in comparison.
