virginia: In the Zone - 02/25/11 10:06 PM
I’ve been researching zoning ordinances for the different counties. I have a farmette that is hopefully going to closing soon, a client that wants chickens, a friend that wants to add on a garage, and a relative that is planning to move and bring their 5th wheel. All of these issues have zoning rules and regulations that need to be taken into consideration.
You may not think you want to do anything unique with your property now, but knowing the zoning rules for your home could help you in the future. On that note, here are several of the link I … (1 comments)

virginia: Here’s What Happened with Housing in October - 11/13/10 02:10 PM
First in Caroline…
Closed sales were up in October – for a total of 30! Although Pending sales went down. So in actuality, more home that were pending actually went to closing compared to other recent months.
This means banks were accepting offers and less glitches in getting to closing! That’s fabulous news! With the tightening of lender pre-qual applications and the necessity of sellers (homeowners and banks) to sell, there are a few less vacant homes!
Average sales price was $150,000 with an average of 93 days on the market. And I can tell you, some … (0 comments)

virginia: From Generation to Generation - 07/28/10 03:34 PM
There are certain landmarks in the career of a REALTOR® that gives one pause and reminds us how important our clients are. Home Buyers and Sellers all have stories, we become involved in their lives and help them in a time of important decisions. Matthew and I take that responsibility very seriously and always true to put our selves in the position of our clients when we’re giving advice. Sometimes we have to give advice or counsel that folks don’t wish to hear. At times we have to deliver bad new and other good. But at all times, we become characters … (3 comments)

virginia: Water Issues Plague Home Owners in Lake Land’or and Campbell Creek - 02/02/10 06:50 PM
Affecting Home Sales As I drove down Rt. 1 today, I saw this sign on the side of the road in front of Campbell Creek Subdivision. The person who painted this sandwich board is evidentially upset about the new water rates. This issue affects an estimated 1800 households. The Caroline Progress report on this issue was added to the county website in September of last year.
I admit that a $150 a month ($1,800 a year) water bill is completely ridiculous. I’m not sure what the point of the sign is, however. The message seems to be a notice to passersby … (0 comments)

virginia: It's Electric! - 01/16/10 06:54 PM
I had a family that contacted me about possibly purchasing a home here in Virginia. We’ve been talking about different communities, traffic, and homeschooling rules!
One issue is that they live in Florida, and they have a concern about the electric bill. Will it change? How much?
Obviously, more energy efficient systems are less.
Also, keeping the house at 68 in winter and 76 in summer helps a lot! You can also get energy audits for homes.
You can also call the electric company and ask for an average electric bill price for a home. But that still does not tell … (0 comments)

virginia: New School Year Plans for Family? - 07/24/08 07:55 PM
I guess it's time to start thinking about the new school year. Although, I must admit, I've been putting it off as long as I can.
Here are some questions I consider for the new year.
· In what activities will the children participate?
· Can I squeeze something special in for me?
· Is there something the family can do together?
Here are some links for activities to consider when getting ready for the new school year.

virginia: Thoughts Close to Home - 07/09/08 11:24 PM
Good evening all!
It's been hard to think of anything to write this week.
I realized that I spent a lot of time loading those visual tours all around the county (1 more to go!), and very few people in Caroline can actually watch them because of dial up! Fret not! There are plenty of people who are looking for the slower, relaxed pace of Caroline. They will enjoy the photos and possibly decide to move to our little home centered close, but not too close, to the mountains, beaches, our Nation's and State's Capitals, and so much history!

virginia: Every Little Bit Helps - 07/01/08 09:41 AM
I found a web page at the Caroline County Webiste that had this statement:
"Real Estate Tax Exemption for the Elderly and Handicapped Homeowner."
http://www.co.caroline.va.us/exemptionelderly.html
Ms. Irene Gray from the Commissioner of the Revenue's Office had this to say:
The $85,000 is total assets, like saving bonds, cds, savings accts, additional land, cars, etc. The total income coming into the home cannot go over $35,000. This does not include the home and up to ten acres that the house is on. Very seldom does the assets for our land owners go over the $85,000. I cannot disclose the number of families … (0 comments)

virginia: Lake Land’or Community - in Caroline County, Virginia - 06/28/08 10:28 PM
Continuing my theme of community, I made a visual tour of Lake Land'or.
Lake Landor is only 5 minutes from I-95. It has 2 sections - Landor and Heritage. Both sides are available for your use when you live in or visit the community. Lake Landor is a gated community that offers 2 pools, 2 beaches, archery, basketball, tennis, boating, playgrounds, and more!
This tour is pretty long, but my 6 year old and I enjoyed taking the photos.

Caroline County, VA From: 05/01/2008 to 05/31/2008 Statistics generated on: 06/06/2008
New Stats are out for the month of May. There are a couple of issues I want to point out. Look at the area I highlighted in yellow. There are a lot more homes available in this bracket then we have seen in years. This includes the homes that have gone to sale for less than is owed by the owner (called short sale) and the increasing number of foreclosures. RealtyTrac.com advises that a quarter of a million … (0 comments)

virginia: Out and about with Volunteers in Caroline, Virginia - 06/10/08 05:52 PM
I've really enjoyed getting back out in the community this week and meeting new people.
Dr. Trementozzi from the Christian Health Center visited our church on Sunday and shared about a "Father's Heart." He was able to tie in the need for a caring and loving Father, with how God responds to us and provides for our needs.
Other staff members of the clinic were there and it was great to see & talk to them again. We also had visitors from The Remuda Ranch, a facility to help young ladies struggling with eating disorders. This organization has been such a blessing in helping young ladies … (0 comments)
