Single Family Home in Braemar Sold for $437,500
On July 20, 2013, I was out with a buyer-client in Braemar. We'd seen just about everything listed in Bristow under $450,000 and were not impressed. Either the lots were undesirable, the communities were less than appealing or the homes were outdated and attempting to take advantage of the seller's market. No matter how much demand there is, buyers aren't likely to over pay for a home.
We were leaving a listing on Hopper Lane when we saw a For Sale By Owner sign. Out of curiosity, we called and asked the list price … (8 comments)

Braemar Property Values: May-June 2013 (Carriage Series)
Hope that everyone in Braemar is enjoying their summer. It's been great pool weather. With the heat and humidity being nearly unbearable at times, where else would you want to be?
The spring real estate market took off like a rocket in Braemar and shows no sign of slowing down. And as always, the Braemar Carriage homes were in high demand. That's what this report focuses on--Braemar Carriage homes.
In case you aren't sure what a Braemar Carriage home is, Carriage homes are characterized by the lack of attached garage. Rather, it has a … (7 comments)

Braemar Property Values: May-June 2013 (Arista Series)
July in Braemar is usually plenty hot and humid. And July hasn't disappointed. It has been wicked hot and so humid you feel like you've walked into a sauna when you live an air-conditioned home to step outside. At least for now, we seem to be getting a respite from hot and humid. It feels like spring outside as I write this.
The Braemar real estate market continues to be hot. This Braemar Property Value Report is focused on the Arista Series, or large single family built by Brookfield Homes which include the … (2 comments)

Braemar Condo Quarterly: April-June 2013
To say the Braemar and surrounding Bristow real estate market have been hot this year is an understatement. There is a serious shortage of inventory for the buyers that want to own property in our area. Braemar condos are in major demand because of their price range. They are great for first-time buyers.
The second quarter saw the same number of sales, two, as the first quarter. The average sales price was up 4% since the first quarter which is great. High sales price was down 2% and low sales price was up 11.5% since the … (7 comments)

Two Bedroom Bristow Condo Under Contract in Six Days!!
On Wednesday, June 12, 2013, I had the pleasure of listing this fantastic two bedroom, one and a half bathroom, one car garage condo in Bristow's neighborhood of Braemar. It was priced at $235,000. By Sunday, this Braemar condo had two offers on the table.
The owner negotiated even more desirable terms than were offered with one of the buyers and got under contract on June 18th. The final sales price will certainly be shared whewhen this Braemar condo closes in July.
We are a in a seller's market in Bristow and … (13 comments)

Another Braemar Single Family Home SOLD!
The pace of the Bristow-Gainesville real estate market has been brutal for buyers, but great for sellers. This sale in Braemar is just one more illustration of that. This Yardley model in Braemar was listed on May 8, 2013 for $420,000. It boasted three fully finished levels, five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. Within two days it had it's first offer. One day after that, two more for a total of three offers in three days.
One of the things that some Bristow-Gainesville buyers get is the importance of making an attractive … (14 comments)

Braemar Property Values: March-April 2013 (Arista Series)
Spring time hit Braemar and the surrounding Bristow area with what felt, and still feels, like buckets of rain. It is great for the lawns and other plants, but I would love to see some more sun. The cloudy and rainy days seem to be outnumbering the sunny ones. Of course, the weather, be it good or bad, really doesn't seem to ever affect the Braemar real estate market. In this report, we'll look back at March and April's sales activity for larger single family homes in Braemar known as the Arista Series. These … (2 comments)

Braemar Condo Quarterly: January-March 2013
There has been a lot of real estate activity in Braemar since the calendar rolled over to 2013 and it has kept me quite busy. I'm ashamed to say that it wasn't until I received a call from a Braemar condo owner looking to sell this summer that I realized I had never published the first quarter stats for Braemar condo resales when March came to a close. Well, there's no time like the present, so let's get to it.
Like the last quarter of 2012, there were only two resales of Braemar condos in the … (9 comments)

Braemar Single Family Home Under Contract in Four Days!
This five bedroom, three and a half bathroom, three level single family home in Braemar hit the market on the evening of May 8, 2013 priced at $420,000. By May 9, 2013, it had an offer. The next day another offer and yet a third offer. I don't think the Sellers believed me when I told them that the Bristow-Gainesville real estate market is gobbling up homes that are priced right and in good condition as soon as they come on the market. In particular, the Patriot and Battlefield High School Districts … (13 comments)

braemar real estate agent bristow va: Why Hiring a Neighborhood Expert Over Other Agents Is A Great Idea
- 04/20/13 10:27 AM
Why Hiring a Neighborhood Expert Over Other Agents Is A Great Idea
If you want fast results when selling your home, (let's be honest, who doesn't?) the best idea is to hire a full-time agent with expert knowledge of your community. First of all, by being full-time, their entire career is based on helping buyers buy and sellers sell. They are meeting lots of buyers and sellers. They know the pulse of your market.. And if they have a neighborhood speciality, and advertise it, they are probably picking up buyers that want to live in that neighborhood on a regular basis.
Theoretically, … (11 comments)

Braemar Property Values: January-February 2013 (Courtyard Series)
Braemar is bathed in sunshine today and I love it. I was worried that with all the overcast weather we'd had lately, we would hit daylight savings time and not even see the sun. Spring finally feels like it is here.
With January and February behind us, we can look back to those months and see how the Braemar Courtyard homes fared in terms of sales. In case you are unfamiliar, a Braemar Courtyard home is one of three different models that share a private courtyard driveway and have very small yards. Models include … (3 comments)

It may not be the official beginning of Spring, but whenever we jump ahead an hour, I consider that the beginning of Spring. There's something about that extra hour of daylight that is so rejuvenating to my spirit. I'm sure it won't be long now before the lawns are greening up, the trees are budding and the flowers are blooming in Braemar.
Now that we have the first two months of the year behind us, we can do our bi-monthly review of the Braemar Carriage home market. Carriage homes are characterized by the lack of attached … (3 comments)

There is nothing like a snow storm in March to shake things up. Mother Nature came by with some accumulation for us in March. Not exactly what those of us that had wished for snow were desiring, but that's the way it goes. Wish for snow and Mother Nature sends you white colored slush.
On the real estate front the careful what you wish for adage could also be applied. So without further delay, let's look back at the first two months of 2013 and real estate sales for the Arista Series homes in Braemar. These are the large single … (0 comments)

The Art of a Real Estate Transaction: Timing & Order of Events Matter
Last night, as I sat in the Hylton Performing Arts Center listening to the American Festival Pops Orchestra perform holiday favorites, I found myself tapping my toes and swinging my shoulders, and at times, humming or singing along. There's something about music that moves people like nothing else. How cool that these folks have the skill to have such an occupation. Talent and practice. Lots of practice, I'm sure goes into a great performance.
What was amazing to me was how still some members of the band had … (32 comments)

Braemar Townhouse Report: September-October 2012
Everyone in Braemar should've had their fill of turkey and Black Friday shopping by now. However, before we exit November, let's take a look back at the Braemar townhouse market for the months of September and October 2012. As always, we'll divide townhouses into Garage Townhouses and Townhouses with No Garage. For value comparison, we'll look back to last report (July-August 2012) and last year (September-October 2011.)
Let's start with Braemar Townhouses with No Garage. During the months of September and October there were six sales. The low sold price was $216,000. The high sold … (2 comments)

The peak of the fall colors in Braemar is past. The trees lost a lot of their foliage during Hurricane Sandy and are now naked. Hey, at least most of them are still standing after that storm. Our neighborhood did take some damage, but thankfully nothing too major. I saw a few homes with siding torn off and some signs blown down. Other than that, we can count ourselves lucky.
With September and October behind us, it's time to take a look back at the Braemar Courtyard home market. In case you are unfamiliar, … (5 comments)

I am so thankful that Braemar weathered Hurricane Sandy very well. Following the Braemar Residents Facebook group that evening, it seemed there were quite a few home owners puzzled by leaks in windows and so forth. It's hard to stop rain driving at your home horizontally at 50 mph. It's going to find a way in.
With September and October behind us, let's take a look back at the Braemar real estate market, specifically, Carriage homes. These are characterized by the lack of attached garage. Rather, it has a detached garage, if it has … (3 comments)

Hurricane Sandy didn't keep the trick-or-treaters away in Braemar on Halloween. It was nice to see the young ones out and about in their costumes. Now that September and October are behind us, we can take a look back at the Arista Series real estate market in Braemar. Arista Series homes are the largest single family homes built by Brookfield Homes in Braemar and include the Allister, Buckingham and Canterbury.
Unfortunately, there were no resales of any Arista Series single family homes in Braemar in the last two months. However, there were some equivalent … (4 comments)

Braemar Condo Quarterly: July-September 2012
The third quarter is officially behind us as we are well into October and looking forward to Halloween and Braemar's Spooktacular Movie Night. This means it's time to look back at the third quarter of 2012 and see what happened in the Braemar condo market. There were no sales in the second quarter to report, so any comparisons we make will be the third quarter of 2011.
As of October 16th, there is only one Braemar condo on the market. It is a Short Sale that is pending sale, having gone under contract in July. There … (3 comments)
