Bristow, Virginia's community of Braemar includes may different sizes of single family homes.  A "mid-size" Braemar home is a Heritage Series home.   They aren't the biggest Braemar home, and not the smallest.  One thing all Braemar Heritage homes have in common is the attached two car garage.  They come in four styles: Zachary, Exeter, Yardley and Waverly.

Of all the Braemar homes to sell in the months of May and June 2009, only one Heritage Series home sold.  It's sales price of $430,000 is our most current average sales price, bringing values up over 26% in two months time....a huge increase since last report. (Note:  This home on the right is NOT the home that sold.)

If you are thinking of selling one of this mid-sized Braemar homes, this most recent data tells us that you can expect your home to go under contract in a little over a month if it is competitively priced.  You can also expect to pay closing cost assistance to your buyer.  The average closing cost assistance for May & June 2009 was $12,374, or just under 3% of the current average sale price.
