Braemar Property Values:  September-October 2016 (Arista Series)
We are well into November, the Presidential election is behind us and it is time to get back to business.  Of course, a Braemar Real Estate Agent like me isn't one to put work on hold.  I've been busy getting my Braemar Property Value Reports together.  This one will detail sales of homes in the Arista Series.  Arista Series homes are the large single family homes built by Brookfield Homes.  The floor plans are:  Allister, Buckingham and Canterbury.
While I knew there were going to be at least a couple sales of Arista homes to report this … (3 comments)

Braemar Reflection Quarterly:  July-September 2016
Can't believe it is is November, though like virtually everyone at this point, I am looking forward to an end to this contentious Presidential election on November 9th.  It is as though the election coverage is sucking me into mental quicksand.  Just the other day, during a trip to meet an appraiser on my own Reflection Series listing at 9684 Tarvie Circle, I realized that I had completely missed doing my quarterly Braemar market reports in October.  Since then I've been playing catch up.  This report is the last of the quarterlies, and it focuses on Reflection … (4 comments)

Braemar Piggyback & Patio Quarterly:  July-September 2016
It is time for another Braemar Piggyback & Patio Quarterly.  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 quads.  Each is attached at the side, back and corner to another Patio Home.  They have two levels, also offering large bedrooms and a modest side yard.

There were five piggyback townhouses that sold in the third quarter of 2016.  That's four more than last quarter and … (5 comments)

Braemar Condo Quarterly:  July-September 2016
We are well into fall in Braemar.  Driving to meet an appraiser in the neighborhood today, and admiring the brilliant foliage, I suddenly remembered that I had not prepared my Braemar third quarter market reports.  Yikes!  So without further delay, let's get it to it in this edition of the Braemar Condo Quarterly.
The third quarter of 2016 was definitely slower than the third quarter of 2015 when it came to Braemar condo sales.  Where six had sold during the third quarter of 2015, there was only one Braemar condo sale in the third quarter of 2016.  The … (2 comments)

Braemar Townhouse Report:  July-August 2016
Gray fall days in Braemar make you want to stay inside and drink pumpkin spice coffee and read a good book.  Gray days for this Braemar Real Estate Agent are great days to type up market reports.  This particular Braemar Townhouse Report will focus on sales between the months of July and August in our neighborhood.  Let's dive right in and see what happened.
Between the beginning of July and end of August there were eleven Braemar townhouses that sold.  The high sold price was $335,000 and the low sold price was $273,000.  When you average all eleven … (2 comments)

Yesterday Braemar hosted its fall community yard sale.  Seems every time one of these community yard sales rolls around, I have every intention to participate, but never seem to be able to pull it together.  You won't find me having a problem pulling Braemar Property Value Reports together. This particular report will detail sales of properties built by Ryan Homes for the months of July and August.
There were four Ryan Homes that sold in the last two months.  Two of them were my listings, in a third I represented a buyer.  The sold prices ranged … (2 comments)

The onset of the fall season has brought our temperatures down to the low eighties.  However, if you want to get out and enjoy this weather and the sunshine, do it today.  Looks like we are expecting some rain tomorrow.  Right now, we are going to take a look at the last two months of the Braemar summer real estate market.  This specific Braemar Property Value Report will focus on sales of single family homes built by NV Homes.
There were two NV Homes that sold between the beginning of July and the end of August.  There were … (5 comments)

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)

Braemar Property Values:  July-August 2016 (Courtyard Series)
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)

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)
