virginia real estate: Tonight You Get To Do What I Do Every Day
- 10/31/09 01:41 AM
Today is Halloween! Happy Halloween to you and the kiddies. Time to bob for apples, dress up in scary costumes, get some candy, and wait for the Great Pumpkin!

It's the one time of year, that it's considered okay to knock on stranger's doors (and they'll actually open them) and peek inside their homes. On all other days of this year, this would be considered trespassing, and depending upon which state you live in, you might be staring at the other end of a loaded shotgun when that door opened. … (8 comments)

- 08/10/08 05:19 AM
Think of the year as a car race with each month being a lap around the oval track. For 2008, we've finished 7 laps around the track and we've started on the 8th go-around. When predicting the future of the housing market, we need to do so from the safety and protection of the pit stop. In auto racing, there's the safety or pace car, which competitors are not allowed to pass during a caution period, leading the field along at a pre-determined safe speed. For purposes of today's analysis, we'll use home sales in 2007 as the pace car to … (2 comments)
virginia real estate: What's Hot & What's Not for Real Estate this Summer
- 06/24/08 12:35 PM
Unlike the latest hit song or fleeting celebrity of Ashley Dupre (who? oh yeah, that was Eliot Spitzer's call girl), real estate is always a hot topic.

While real estate as a whole always generates buzz, here's a look at What's Hot & What's Not for D.C. & Northern Virginia real estate for Summer 2008:

This news just in...
