virginia beach real estate: Property Tax Hike?
- 04/26/08 02:54 AM
Suffolk has a pretty good financial health for the moment according to a consultant for the city. That could change if the city does not raise property taxes in the future. If the current level of services is kept the city could be looking at a 10 to 11 cent incres by 2013. That is assuming that property prices don't increase over the next few years. I am an optimist and expect them to increase so the property tax doesn't have to.

Where does American Idol find the songs for the finalists. "Align" is a song written by James Smithson and it is one of the 20 songs that can still be chosen to be sung by the finalists. I'll check in later and see where the song ended up and let you know.

virginia beach real estate: Have Power Will Travel
- 04/26/08 02:42 AM
As I travel around Virginia Beach listing and selling homes I often have several battery powered devices with me. Having only one plug in the car can sometimes be a bother. Well I found a nifty device that works for me and should work for others. It is called the Power Station Traveller from ReSource. You can purchase it from http://www.amazon.com/ The price is around $35 and you can plug up to three devices in at the same time. How cool is that.

virginia beach real estate: Help Identifying a Bird
- 04/20/08 08:03 AM
I saw a bunch of these sitting on top of some condos, in the trees and on light poles around my house in Virginia Beach. I have lived here a long time and never saw them before. I thought at first they were the buzzards we get around here but I was wrong. I cropped the photo in Adobe a bit so you could see just the bird. Any help would be appreciated. I have looked online but finding a bird without any idea of what it is can be difficult. He is about two feet tall
and the colors look accurate. Ugly … (4 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Female Vets and Charle Falk
- 04/19/08 12:23 PM
What do female vets and Charlie Falk have in common? Probably a few vets have bought cars from his dealership in the Norfolk area but mostly he features them in car ads. Not real vets but bad portrayls of military women. Two retired Navy women have been trying to get the commercials off the air. Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va offices has even been contacted for help. The Judge Advocates office has sent a letter to Charlie Falk to ask him to take the ads off the air. The ads have supposedly run their course but there have been sightings of the … (1 comments)

I was out previewing houses and came across one I thought would be a good match for my buyer. The house was remodeled in 2007. I took some pictures of what I thought added the most value to the house. Keep in mind this is a $174k duplex type house. Am I being to picky for a house in this price range? or should I expect a little more reguardless of the price.

virginia beach real estate: Community Project Funds
- 04/14/08 03:26 AM
What does a JumboTron screen on the Norfolk city owned science center Nauticus have to do with the Virginia Port Authority? Well it seems that the port authority is providing money, services or other help within reason for local projects. Which brings us to Nauticus. The authority gave the city $2million dollars to help with the fix-up at the Town Point Park in downtown Norfolk. Part of that money will be used to purchase the screen. The screen will of course advertise upcoming events. If you know of a worthy cause, give the port authority a call.

virginia beach real estate: Lillian Vernon Sold Again
- 04/11/08 12:58 AM
A mainstay of Virginia Beach, the Lillian Vernon company is being sold for the third time in five years. The company has not made a profit in 10 years. There must be something about the brand that keeps investors hanging on. The first time we bought anything from them in years was this last Christmas and the products we bought were very well done. I haven't liked buying from them because you used to get put on the mailing list and call list but not this time. The company is being sold for around $15.8 million depending on the inventory at … (6 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Open Houses In This Market?
- 04/10/08 11:32 AM
Open Houses in a Buyer's Market
Is it time to reinvent the Open House in a buyer's market? I know, Open Houses' don't sell homes-but I read that 48 percent of all Virginia Beach homebuyers go to Open Houses'. The house can actually become a successful tool for building trust and connecting you and your buyers with their dream home. Once that happens, you can help them connect with the right home financing to ensure that the transaction will close smoothly and on time.
Prospective buyers attend Open Houses' to get a feel for what they do and do not like-not necessarily because they want to buy … (2 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Sell Your Headset and Buy This One

Buy the Aliph's Jawbone and not worry about noise again. I bought one last week and they are great. In Virginia Beach we often have jets flying over from Oceana Jet base and the person on the other end of the line can not hear them. It does everything it is supposed to do. You can listen to the radio, the tv, type or whatever and no sound gets thru except for your voice. It also plugs into your computer to charge. How neat is that. I bought mine at www.buy.com for $80 bucks and no shipping. I have had severa headsets … (14 comments)

virginia beach real estate: No Billing Problems in Suffolk
- 04/07/08 02:57 AM
Suffolk residents do have a problem with utility billing even though they weren't supposed to. HRSD says if there are problems then there are very few but if there is even one that is too much. The big problem is that HRSD switched billing and over 5,200 accounts were not billed. Ouch. The money still has to be paid but now you are four months behind.

virginia beach real estate: Golf Course Or Ecological Disaster
- 04/07/08 02:45 AM
The Battlefield Golf Club at Centerville in Chesapeake is built on fly ash. 1.5 million tons of it to be exact. If you don't know what fly ashis it is the by product of burning coal. The problem with the material is that it contains heavy metals such as arsenic and other metals. These metals can leach into the ground and that creates a ground water problem. The developers at the golf course mixed in an ingredient to keep the fly ashfrom leeching into the groundwater. That may have been ok except there are homeowners in the area that have wells … (4 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Assessments Higher
- 04/04/08 01:16 AM
It looks like Chesapeake will have a higher tax assessment this year as will all the cities in the surrounding area. Chesapeake overall tax increase will be 0.7%. This is the smallest increase in years and the city is scrambling to deal with the fallout from a smaller tax increase.
