Braemar Property Values:  July-August 2016 (Heritage Series)
When I was out and about around town yesterday, I noticed so much fall themed decor.  Seeing the rows and rows of pumpkins at plant nurseries definitely got me in the mood for the fall season.  Of course, before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's take this chance to look back at the Braemar real estate market's performance in the last two months of summer.  This specific report will focus on sales in the Heritage Series.  Heritage Series homes, for those who may not be familiar, are the mid-sized single family homes, built by Brookfield … (5 comments)

The fall real estate market is here in Braemar.  Unfortunately, it will be a couple of months before we know how much real estate is selling this fall.  Right now, in this edition of the Braemar Property Value Report, we are going to look back at the last two months of summer and focus on the Courtyard homes sold.  Before we begin, let's explain what sets Braemar Courtyard homes apart.  Braemar Courtyard homes are one of three different floor plans that share a private courtyard driveway and have very limited outdoor spaces.  Models include the Arlington, Clarendon and Ballston.

The Braemar pools are closed and school is back in season.  That means fall is here, though it doesn't quite feel like it yet.  Of course, before we know what the fall real estate market in Braemar will yield home sellers, we have yet to look back at the last two months of the summer 2016 market.  This particular Braemar Property Value Report will focus on Carriage home sales in July and August.  Before we begin, let's start with a definition of  a Braemar Carriage home.  Braemar Carriage homes are characterized by the lack of an … (4 comments)

While it has been quite humid the last few days, it is evident that fall is approaching.  Passing through Native Rocks Drive yesterday I saw that some trees were already dropping some leaves.  Since summer is behind us, let's take a look back at the months of July and August in this edition of the Braemar Property Value Report and see what happened with the sales of Arista Series homes.  Arista Series homes are the large single family homes built by Brookfield Homes.  The floor plans are:  Allister, Buckingham and Canterbury.

Braemar Townhouse Report:  May-June 2016
As I type this report, I am trying to revive my crispy, brown lawn with a sprinkler.  If I soak it a few days, maybe it will start to come back to life.  One of the things I hate about our summers here in Bristow is that our grass goes dormant if you don't constantly water.
One thing is for sure, our Braemar real estate market hasn't gone dormant.  In this edition of the Braemar Townhouse Report we'll look at the sales activity for the months of May and June, as we headed into these dreadfully hot summer … (3 comments)

So much going on in Braemar real estate this week.  You wouldn't believe the amount of work that goes into to getting a home to close on time these days.  I've already had two Braemar homes with delayed settlements and narrowly avoided a third late settlement this month.  Perhaps the best news is that a Braemar Short Sale I've been working on since last February sold yesterday.  As it happens, it was an Oberlin model by Ryan Homes.  
Today I have the Braemar Property Value Report for Ryan Homes to tell you about.  This one … (3 comments)

Another summer day in Braemar meant another hot and humid day for folks to enjoy the pools, or kids to chase Pokemon on their cell phones.  Though 2:00am last night/this morning seemed to be prime time for Pokemon catching on Tartan Hills Parkway.  Two young teens, maybe even tweens, standing in the middle of the road.  Are Pokemon really that important?  I suppose they are important enough to be out at 2:30am.  
What's important to me is getting Braemar homes sold for my sellers and finding great homes for my Braemar buyers.  Right now, my … (4 comments)

It was another scorcher today in Bristow.  If I were a person of leisure, I would have spent the afternoon enjoying one of our Braemar pools.  Unfortunately, that wasn't in the cards for me today.  That's okay.  I'm used to having a busy calendar with my chosen profession as a real estate agent.  I love my job.
Right now my job is presenting another Braemar Property Value Report.  This one will details sales of homes in the Heritage Series in our neighborhood for the months of May and June.  Heritage Series homes, for those who may … (3 comments)

It is time for another Braemar Property Value Report focusing on the most recent sales activity for Courtyard homes in our neighborhood.  In particular, we will be looking back at the months of May and June.  Too many time when I run this report, I find no sales, but it seems our market has had a decent amount of activity recently.  
Before we begin, let's clarify exactly what defines a Braemar Courtyard home.   A Braemar Courtyard home is one of three different floor plans that share a private courtyard driveway and have extremely small outdoor spaces. … (1 comments)

It sure was a hot one this Saturday.  In fact, it was so hot that my chronically cold mother complained about the heat.  That is unusual.  This is a woman that wears three-quarter length sleeves and jeans on a ninety degree day and never feel hot.  Then again, today did jump into three digit temperatures.
The Braemar real estate market has been pretty hot too.  Right now, we will take a look back to the sales activty from the months of May and June in the Carriage Series homes in Braemar.  Before we begin, let's start … (1 comments)

Summer is flying by, just like it seems to every year.  The good news is that in the flurry of activity, the Braemar real estate market is bustling right along as well.  In this edition of the Braemar Property Value Report , we will take a look back at the sales for May and June of Arista Series homes in our neighborhood.  Arista Series homes are the large single family homes built by Brookfield Homes.  The floor plans are:  Allister, Buckingham and Canterbury.

Braemar Reflection Quarterly:  April-June 2016
Funny.  I was just sitting down to type up this report and a Braemar Reflection home owner called me to investigate selling their home.  Talk about timing.  
This edition of the Braemar Reflection Quarterly will look back on the second quarter of 2016.  For those who may not be familiar with this style of home, Reflection Series homes are located off of Tarvie Circle and are the semi-detached single family homes that are attached at the garage only.  There were two floor plans offered by Brookfield Homes:  Annan and Bromley.
There was only one sale of a Braemar Reflection home … (4 comments)

We are well into summer in Braemar.  Seems this time of year always goes by a lot faster than any of us would like, particularly the kids who are enjoying their summer vacation from school.
Right now, we are going to take a look back at the second quarter sales activity for Braemar Piggyback and Patio homes.  In case you aren't familiar with these types of home styles, Braemar Piggyback Townhouses are attached side-to-side and back-to-back.  While they do not offer back yards, they offer large bedrooms and a two car garage.  Braemar Patio Homes are also known as … (1 comments)

The second quarter of the year tends to be where we see the action in Braemar condo sales.  Let's take a look back at the second quarter of 2016 and see how many sales of Braemar condos we had and what the means to our average value.  
Before we begin, you may not realize that Braemar actually has condos.  They look like townhouses.  Condo simply refers to a type of ownerships which is different than any other type of home in the community.  The sub-association that controls the Braemar condos is Barrhill at Inverness Village.

Braemar Townhouse Report: March-April 2016
The weather in Bristow is heating up just in time to coincide with the start of swim season.  This Memorial Day Weekend will likely be a busy one at our two Braemar community pools.  Keep in mind that the pool at Iona Sound Drive is usually not as busy as the one off of Rob Roy Way, which is the one by the townhouses.  
Speaking of townhouses, it is time for another Braemar Townhouse Report.  This one will focus on the activity in the months of March and April.  Let's get to it.
There were six Braemar townhouses … (3 comments)

There has been a lot of activity in our Bramar real estate market in the last few months.  In this edition of the Braemar Property Value Report we will look back at the months of March and April and see what happened with respect to homes built by Ryan Homes.  
To begin with, there were six sales of houses built by Ryan Homes between March and April.  The low sold price was $417,000 and the high sold price was $499,000.  The average of all five sold prices gives us our new average market value for Ryan … (4 comments)

Hopefully everyone in Braemar has their  pool passes ready for the opening of the community pools this weekend.  Memorial Day Weekend is always a busy time at our two community pools.  From the looks of Bristow's extended forecast, it seems Saturday and Sunday are going to be ideal, sunny pool days.
When it comes to the Braemar real estate market, this may be the ideal time for a Braemar single family home owner to list.  We're experiencing high buyer demand and not enough homes on the market to meet that demand.  Let's take a closer look at … (1 comments)

Even though we are enjoying some much needed sunshine today in Braemar, it is tempered with some rather threatening looking clouds in the sky.  Before the end of the day I have a feeling we are going to experience a thunderstorm.  Thank goodness our forecast has some consecutive days of sunshine starting tomorrow.  
Right now, it is time for another Braemar Property Value Report.  This particular edition examines activity in the months of March and April for Carriage homes.  For those that may be wondering, Carriage homes are characterized by the lack of an attached garage. Rather, … (3 comments)

Though we have been living under gray, drizzly skies in Braemar for the past few weeks, the spring real estate market doesn't need sunshine to keep chugging along.  In this edition of the Braemar Property Value Report we will look back to sales of homes in the Arista Series for the months of March and April.  Arista Series homes are the large single family homes built by Brookfield Homes.  The floor plans are:  Allister, Buckingham and Canterbury. 
Unlike the last two reports that saw no sales activity for these homes, there were four Arista Series homes that … (4 comments)
