The February sales results are out.  The analysis below shows clearly that Prince William County detached homes are the "best buy" in Northern Virginia.  The buying public has responded to the fact that home prices in Prince William County are lower than the other jurisdictions, explaining why the number of Prince William County homes sold in 2008 closely approximated the number of homes sold in 2007.  Meanwhile, unit sales in Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax County have declined appreciably when compared to 2007.

HOW TO PLAN FOR A 2008 HOME PURCHASE - 03/07/08 04:12 PM
 
 
Sound  lending guidelines for home purchases were ignored between 1999 and mid-2005 resulting in more than 1.25 million pre-foreclosure letters being sent to homeowners in 2007 - an increase of 79% over 2006.
Lenders are now verifying the prospective borrower's employment, credit worthiness and requiring that the parties have enough residual cash to cover the costs associated with homeownership and other contingencies that may arise.
Now that the traditional underwriting guidelines have been reestablished a lot of care and effort has to be taken to prepare for the home buying process.  Keep the benefits of homeownership in mind when the … (25 comments)

LIGHTNING, WIND, WATER, FIRE - 03/07/08 02:43 PM
 
WHICH CAUSES THE MOST DAMAGE TO A HOME?

There are a few measures you can take to minimize the possibility of these incidents occurring.
• Check all the window and door seals in your home and replace or caulk as necessary.
•  Inspect your tub and shower for leaking shower doors and replace old and brittle caulk.  Check the sink … (3 comments)
