relocation: Wordless Wednesday Almost....Nothing Compares to Being Where You Want To Be. - 08/18/11 09:04 AM
We all have plans with our lives and it seems like lately so many families and people have their plans on hold.  I hear them say they are waiting for the right time, the right moment, the better year.
The joy and happiness in our lives happens when we live in the now, it is what we make of the now we have.  Joy and happiness are the simple things in our home and life and not the more complicated things.  Don't let life pass you by while you are waiting for something to happen.  Find the joy in living now... nothing compares to being where … (14 comments)

relocation: Am I Sensing A Disturbing Trend? - 07/02/11 02:12 PM
 
A must read for those thinking of Buying New Home Construction
Jay Markanich, A Northern Virginia Home Inspector provides an interesting article here about New Home Construction inspections and how the New Home Builders are not receptive to having home inspections done. 
New Home Builders are often not receptive to having buyers be represented by Agents either.  Why?  Because the new home builders have their own sales people who represent the Builder, they do not hire licensed Agents that are required to disclose all known information, have duties and a fiduciary responsibility to their clients.  Agents also discuss with their clients how to move … (6 comments)

relocation: The Day My Son Left Home - 07/01/11 01:08 AM
The day my son left home was a day filled with mixed emotions.  Bittersweet.  This was not like leaving for college, when we knew he would be back, and his room remained HIS room.  This was the day he left home, and his room for the first time was really empty.   What would we do with this room?  So many things we could do with this room like make it an office, another guest room, paint the walls a different color, get new furniture, etc., etc., etc.
We were so proud when he graduated from Georgetown University.  A double major in Finance and Operations and … (11 comments)

relocation: Prince William County Commuter Lots & Information - 06/30/11 11:33 AM
Slugging in Prince William
Prince William County has one of the best systems in place for commuters who ride share.  Commuter lots are located throughout the county in the eastern and mid-county areas.  Commuters park for free and drivers pick up three or more riders going to designated points in Northern Virginia and Washington D.C.  The cost is free to the rider and in return the driver gets to use the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes on I95.  The commute is much quicker because there is reduced trafiic in the HOV lanes and it's not bumper to bumper. 
The state of Virginia recently announced it would invest … (3 comments)

relocation: Homes are Undervalued - 06/29/11 04:59 PM
 
Alyssa provides a very telling report here.  When investors and cash buyers are in the market buying these homes up there is a reason.  If you are considering purchasing a home, it is a good time to really consider what your options are. 
Even though Alyssa gives us this report from Arizona, these are calculations based on national data. 
Via Alyssa Samuelson, CDPE CRS ABR SFR GRI FTHBC (Success Real Estate Group/Apartment Source):
Capital Economics just released a study based on the Case-Shiller home price index in quarter 4 of 2010. Their report shows that homes are 21% undervalued when compared to disposable income per … (0 comments)

 Search Thousands of Virginia Homes For Sale
         In the height of the housing "boom," many first time Home-Buyers were locked out of the housing market.  Unable to purchase a home on thier current salary(being a few years into a profession) or- a starting salary right out of school.

         The place where most everyone starts!  The good news is you hold the potential for professional growth and increased income in your future.  In addition homes are more affordable and interest rates remain low.  The bad news is that fear with the recent decline of housing prices and stability becomes the reason for not purchasing a home.

relocation: Interest Rate Chart for The Last 30 years. See It To Believe It. - 06/03/11 07:36 PM

This will not last forever. Just as a Housing Market Bottom will not last forever. 
The Interest Rate Questions that I have Been Frequently Asked this week:
(A lot of verbalized- Pent up Demand and Desire for Buying a Home.)
"Have intersest rates gone up?"  Depends on what you mean by up.   Up to 11.75% where my interst rate was when I purchased in 1989?     No 
"Are interest rates near 5% now?"  Yes, they have been fluctuating a little...still an excellent rate to borrow on.  What are your credit card rates at?
"Do you think interest rates will be going up higher?"  Honestly....what do you think?
 
Yes they will be … (12 comments)
