Here is something you do not see everyday. In fact, when homes come on the market in Tyson's Woods, they almost always sell in less than 30 days. Next week we are having the Open House.

2245 Richelieu in Vienna, has been remodeled, with a new kitchen and baths. The Master Suite is enormous and has an ensuite bath with connecting dressing area and new cabinets and marble. All that and a brick fireplace. That is just the Master. Check back, we will have more photos and a video walkthrough by next Monday. … (0 comments)

va: Boating on the Land - 04/21/10 01:09 AM

This is a little off-topic, but maybe I can bring it back at the end. For years my family enjoyed pleasure boating. Yes, even through the Carter years, where it was almost taxed out of existence, we had a small boat. Of course, everything is relative - Tiger Woods says he has a small boat, but maybe only in relation to Paul Allen's.

One of the first tasks a new owner will do is have the stern painted with the name and hailing port of the craft. Something like - Queen Mary, Liverpool, etc etc. It is a … (0 comments)

va: Luxury Townhouse in Vienna - Walk to Metro - $689,900 - 04/20/10 07:39 AM
Great Pulte Built Townhouse - Walk to Vienna Metro 9588 Lagersfield Circle, Vienna, Va offered at: $689,900
4 Bedrooms, 3 and one half baths

These homes do not come on the market frequently. The End units are maybe the most sought after homes that Pulte built. The large size of all the rooms, plus the bump-outs and first floor Study are just some of what makes the Stratford floorplan so special. This one is well priced and will not be on the market long. Give me a call today to see the best Vienna has to offer.

va: Taxes Done yet? Did you see all those deductions? - 04/15/10 05:15 AM
Mine are finished. Thank goodness! I saw on CNN that 91 percent have their taxes done by now. I guess that is of the people that have a computer, and go to CNN.com. But, that is good news. Most of us are very responsible. I noticed many new deductions that are the also good news. The home buyer credits, the long list of energy saving deductions. A few new or improved deductions helping with raising a family. 2010 is almost half over. Still, it is a good time to plan for taxes next year. More home buyer credits and more eco-credits … (0 comments)

va: FAQ about the Tax Credits for Home Buyers - 01/26/10 03:08 AM
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions on the changes to the Homebuyer Tax Credit

Question: Existing homeowner credit: Must the new house cost more than the old house?
Answer: No. Thus, for example, individuals who move from a high cost area to a lower cost area who
meet all eligibility requirements will qualify for the $6500 credit.

Question: I am an existing homeowner. On October 25, 2009, I signed a contract to purchase a
new home. I have lived in my current home for more than 5 consecutive years and
am within the new income limits. … (0 comments)

va: Fast Times in Vienna, Virginia - 08/20/09 08:21 AM
Just last week, we closed on a sale of a great little Rambler located close to the Vienna Metro. How long did it take from the Open House, to Sale? It was the same day.

Amazing? Maybe, and we certainly earned our pay from the homeowner. But there is something more. Yes, after about two years, we are seeing a much improved real estate marketplace.

Sure, there are going to be ups and downs, but in the core areas of Northern Va, we see more dramatic recovery. We first saw this in Arlington, and then Falls Church. Now … (0 comments)

va: CASH is King - Real Estate Values - 06/15/09 03:33 PM
When I was first in real estate, I was taught an age old phrase - "underneath all is the land". This came from a Latin statement many years old. It is one of those hard facts that folks come back to during hard times. Over the past week, we have seen oil costs rise, continued unrest in Iran, and the stock market continue its day-trading sine wave that demonstrates so much concern and indecisiveness in our market. Interest rates have ticked up somewhat, maybe a point or so. We see many with cash buying up land right now at a fast … (0 comments)

va: Staging - does your Realtor provide this service? - 03/09/09 02:40 AM
Recently, we listed a nice 4 bedroom Contemporary for sale in Reston, Virginia. Having worked with the owners for over a year on their prospective
new home search, we wanted to move this home quickly. The Sellers were two very busy people, and needed our help with staging the home.

Just about every home needs some type of help before it is listed for sale. More so than in the past, your home must compete directly with homes
where either a professional stager has been hired, or it is newer construction. The most important piece of advice we can give … (0 comments)

va: Vienna Virginia all Brick Home ready for you! - 11/20/08 03:15 AM
Every once in a while, we see one of those opportunities that just about everyone is seeking. The home that needs a tiny bit of care to move in, but one that is priced below the market, and would be a perfect remodel. Vale Road is one of those homes.
The owner has recently updated the HVAC in 2008.

Hardwood floors, large open rooms, and a 3/4 acre lot with private drive make this a great place. The home is located in Vienna, but is also just minutes from Oakton, and Reston.

va: Remodeled Bungalow in Arlington North - near Ballston Metro, 66, 395 - 10/28/08 08:04 AM
North Arlington Virginia is a great place to raise a family, and an even better place for home values. Many of these older 1940-50's style homes have been remodeled. Most have been featured in garden clubs and this home was on HGTV. When we held our last Open House in the area, there were over 20 attendees. That is excellent.
If you are interested in seeing this one of a kind home. Call me today at: Jay Hurst - 703-626-3855 … (0 comments)

va: 3 BR Brick Townhouse Walk to Dunn Loring Metro - 10/16/08 02:41 PM
Providence Park is one of only a handful of quality townhouse communities within walking distance of a Metro Station. 2805 has one fo the best Van Metre floor plans for any interior unit home. The open staircase allows light from the front, rear and even upstairs to flood the home with daylight. That cannot be said for most townhouses.
I encorage you to place this home at the top of you list when looking around the new Merrifield Town Center.

va: Homes near Metro Stops in the DC Area - 10/16/08 02:27 PM
One bright spot in home sales in Northern Va happens to be around Metro Stations. Here is a recent listing that is just a short walk from the Dunn Loring Metro Station. This area has held its value well with commuters. We see many types of buyers in the area, and of course, they will go on to be sellers. It is diverse, and turn over is shorter than average.

va: Market Conditions in Vienna and McLean - 08/27/08 07:40 AM
Many of my agent friends have been sitting around talking about " the bottom of the market". Interesting. The theory is that at some point,home prices do cease dropping, and stabilize. Then at some point begin to rise. History tell us this will happen. Why are they waiting for this? They want things to go back to the “bubble” time a few years back. They also feel there is a pent up demand. More on that in my next blog.Well, I am proud to say that in most of the areas in McLean and Vienna we began seeing this trend towards … (0 comments)
