fairlington: A Wiki MLS-Saving some of the Guesswork for Buyers and Their Agents - 03/16/09 05:23 PM
One of the big issues buyers and buyer's agents face when the head out the door to tour prospective properties, is does the property really meet their criteria? There is nothing worse than opening the door on a property and realizing instantly that you just wasted gallons of gas and precious time on a home that isn't even close to what you are looking for.Unfortunately not every agent posts pictures or descriptions of a property that give you an accurate sense of the property condition.

fairlington: Fairlington and The Pentagon-A Long History in Northern Virginia - 10/23/08 07:56 AM
Just a stoplight away from the Pentagon and tucked in the trees off of I-395, sit the seven neighborhoods that make up the community of Fairlington. The connection between military families stationed at the Pentagon, Fort Meyer or other Military District of Washington facilities remains as strong today as it did in the 1940’s when Fairlington was first built. Originally Fairlington was constructed as a garden apartment complex to house defense workers and their families during World War II. The community remained popular as a rental complex for almost 30 years and then in the early 1970's the property was converted … (6 comments)
fairlington: Shhhh! Don’t Tell Anyone Else About this Great Little Place to Grab a Treat to Eat - 10/07/08 12:20 PM
In a way you hate to give up the "secret" of your favorite little places to sneak off for lunch or a sweet treat. On the other hand you want others to realize that you don't have to spend a fortunate at one of the mega chain coffee stores or settle for fast food when in the same area is a great little deli and pastry shop that will satisfy your hunger with real food. In this case the little secret spot is the Alexandria Pasty Shop and Deli in the Bradley Shopping Center on King Street. Since I own a … (5 comments)

fairlington: Apples to Apples in Fairlington - 09/24/07 10:16 PM
As a Fairlington owner I have posted market reports over the last few months about general real estate trends in the neighborhood. Last month I wrote a blog titled "Saying No to Local Market Reports" in which I said I would no longer post generic information about the area. In keeping with that promise I decided this month for Fairlington I would focus on one popular model in the neighborhood and take a look at the prices from August 2006 and August 2007. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone to see prices are down 10% from the previous year. The volume … (3 comments)
fairlington: The buyers continue to say YES to Fairlington - 08/02/07 09:07 PM
Another good sales month for Fairlington! As I have previously reported the market in Alexandria and Arlington continue to be a bright spot in the Northern Virginia area. As expected the Fairlington Community continues to produce strong sales. The number of condos SOLD in the month of July stands at 18 closings but what is even more significant is that fact that there are currently 27 units UNDER CONTRACT with closings scheduled in the next 45 days. The higest price unit sold was the rare Dominion I model (only 19 in the entire community).
If you are interested in taking a … (3 comments)
