Like It’s time for an update on available homes for sale in Loudoun in the $400,000 price point. The last time we took a peek at that segment of the market was in September.  At the time, there were only townhomes available in Ashburn. In Sterling, there were several townhomes and a few older single [...]

Like The new clubhouse at Creighton Farms is open for business! Last week, I had the good fortune to stop by for a sneak peek and tour of the facility. With the welcoming, wide front porch and stone facade, it truly delivers the feeling of a Loudoun County manor home, albeit on a grand scale. [...]

Like As anyone who’s driven through town can attest, the new Purcellville Gateway project is humming along. The new traffic circle was opened several days ago as they finish the curbing…definitely going to take some getting used to. I think I’m 2 for 3 on almost getting hit driving through there by folks who don’t [...]

Like If you’ve been reading the posts here for the last couple of months, you’ve heard me repeat over and over that we do not have a lot of available homes for sale on the market here in Loudoun.  Given that we are now in the first week of March, we should be hearing the [...]

As I’m sure any of the authors of this blog could attest, more consumers are ‘interviewing’ Realtors by reading their blog posts before they ever pick up the phone to make contact.  The Washington Post published an article yesterday in their Real Estate section titled “Making Connections: Web 2.0 Creates New Ways for Agents, Home [...]

I’m still recovering from four days attending Inman Connect in San Francisco, including RE BarCamp the day before. Not only did I have the opportunity to listen to talented speakers and engaging panel discussions, I also got to meet so many people in person that prior to this week I knew from their writing or [...]

It just happened again. I’m sitting on an open house, and a couple walks in; immediately I can sense that their desire to see the house has overridden their non-desire to speak with a REALTOR® inside the house. They clearly don’t want to talk to me, don’t want to sign in, are looking around, not [...]
