Prediction: Cameron Station sales are going to start heating up in the Spring.
Shaking off the Winter doldrums, the real estate market is starting to get busy in Alexandria, Virginia and notably in the Cameron Station neighborhood, a premier community of townhouses, condos, and a smattering of single family homes. Last night, after an early evening walk around the lake at Ben Brenman Park, a large city park adjacent to Cameron Station, my wife and I saw the first signs of Spring. Flowers were budding, neighbors walking their dogs, and parents out in force with their babies in strollers and their bouncing toddlers.
So what's happening in the way of real estate? One thing's for certain -- the For Sale signs are popping up faster than the daffodils.
Here's an overview of the current market in Cameron Station:
