The least expensive home was located at 200 Lakeview in Aspen Hill Subdivision.  This home was initially priced at $444,900.  Then it was reduced to $424,900 and finally to $174,900.  It sold after 356 days on the market for $179,900.  The remarks in the listing state that the home was priced according to the apparent condition and was being sold as is.  Buyers were advised to obtain requirements from the county on prior permits.  The house had 115' of waterfront and 1800 sq. ft. of interior living space.  (See least expensive home sold in 2007.)

Kate, You might have had a slowdown but your area---AND the homes there are spectacular and bound to pick up.  Your pictures are just beautiful and Lake Anna looks like a beautiful place to live.

Hi Carole...Thank you for your comments on Lake Anna.  It is a wonderful place and there are many beautiful homes here.  Although we have had a bit of a slowdown it is still a sought after place and as the economy improves so will the sales.

I'd love you to see Lake Anna in person some time.

Hi Renee...We have been pretty fortunate here.  Even though sales have decreased somewhat values have not plummeted.  Our waterfront homes have been our best seller.
