braemar real estate agent bristow va: Braemar Reflection Quarterly: July-September 2015 - 11/23/15 06:57 AM
Braemar Reflection Quarterly:  July-September 2015
This is the third Braemar Reflection Quarterly report.  I started compiling stats on these homes after the first quarter of 2015 ended.  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 byBrookfield Homes:  Annan and Bromley.
Unfortunately, it seems that, like the Courtyard homes in Braemar, they make up a relatively small number of homes in our community that there are going to be times when absolutely nothing is happening.  This is one of those times.  
While no Reflection homes … (5 comments)

Braemar Piggyback & Patio Quarterly:  July-September 2015
There is an excitement in the crisp fall air as we start to see Christmas decorations springing up around the neighborhood.  Thanksgiving is this week and I feel completely unprepared, but that's a good thing.  It means I've been busy selling Braemar homes.
Right now, it's time for the third quarter report for Braemar Piggyback and Patio homes.  We will make comparisons looking back to last report (April-June 2015) and last year (July-September 2014.)   For clarification, 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 … (4 comments)

Braemar Condo Quarterly:  July-September 2015
The third quarter of the year is well behind us.  Looking back on the activity in the Braemar real estate market, it may well have been one of the busiest quarters for Braemar condo sales.  If you recall, we had only two sales of Braemar condos in third quarter of 2014.   There were three sales in the second quarter of 2015, which was our last reporting period.
With six sales in the third quarter of 2015, we have a high sales price of $255,000 and a low sales price of $231,000.  The average condo sales price was … (3 comments)

Braemar Townhouse Report:  July-August 2015
Only a couple days left in September.  Hard to believe that we are about a month from Halloween.   Summer seems to go by so quick, but I'm always happy to welcome fall.  From a real estate perspective, it is like our second spring market.  The fact that the Federal government's fiscal year starts October 1st, creates demand near the end of the year in our housing market.  New jobs may be created in the budget, or buyers get the bump up they need to be able to make a first time purchase.  Whatever it is, I'm … (4 comments)

I have not noticed any changing leaves in Braemar yet, but fall is officially here.  Curiosity is setting in as I wait for the tree that replaced my cherry tree to turn.  I wonder what colors the leaves will be.  The way things go in life, they will probably change and be brown on my lawn before I even think about it again.  Things are getting busy.  The fall real estate market is like our second spring.  Between my job selling homes in the neighborhood, and commitments to two community HOAs and Braemar Day coming up... … (2 comments)

Fall in Braemar is my favorite time of year.  The community comes together for Braemar Day, Yard Sales, the Chili Cook Off and Halloween.  And the fall colors that we will see next month when the trees are dressed in their autumn brilliance is stunning.  For now, we are here to take a look at Braemar Property Values for homes in Braemar built by NV Homes for the months of July and August.  And I'll tell ya straight up, it's going to be a short report.
There were no sales of NV Homes during the last … (2 comments)

It's a rainy Monday here in Bristow, VA as I type up this Braemar Property Value Report for Braemar Courtyard homes.  At least there is no divine weather distraction to keep me from plugging along and doing  my market report for the day.  So without further delay, let's see what happened in the months of July and August to Braemar Courtyard home values.  If you don't know what a Braemar Courtyard home is,  let me bring you up to speed.  Courtyard homes are one of three different floor plans that share a private courtyard driveway … (1 comments)

So happy to be enjoying the beginning of the fall season.  It's my favorite time of the year.  It's also a great time of year to sell a Braemar home.  Fall is like a second spring market.  Right now we will take a look back at the last two months of summer and see how Braemar Carriage homes fared in this edition of the Braemar Property Value Report. Carriage homes are characterized by the lack of an attached garage. Rather, if they have a garage at all, it is detached and sits in back of the home.  The … (2 comments)

School is back in session and the fall chill can be felt in the evening Bristow air.  This is my favorite time of the year.  Seeing the pumpkin patches outside of Wegman's the other day made me grin from ear to ear.  Of course, while we are looking forward to fun fall activities like Braemar Day, Chili Cook Offs and Halloween, let's take a look back at the real estate activity for Braemar's Arista Series homes for the months of July and August.  Arista Series homes are the large, single family homes built by Brookfield Homes. … (4 comments)

You Are the Best in the Neighborhood...
Life is filled with interesting occurrences.  I read Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents blog every day and hear her tell stories of how her success as a top Sacramento real estate agent makes her phone ring, only to find out that someone wants her advice, but is going to hire another agent.  They want to hear from the best in the area, but feel obligated to use a friend, relative or neighbor who happens to also have a license.  
Real estate agents are all different and specialize in different types of … (17 comments)

Braemar Townhouse Report:  May-June 2015
Have you been noticing a lot of real estate signs in the yards of Braemar townhouses this summer?  I bet you have and in this edition of the Braemar Townhouse Report, I will let you know why.
During the months of May and June, there were seventeen sales of Braemar townhouses.  Final sales prices ranged from $235,000 to $334,900.  The average of all seventeen sales gives us our new average market value for Braemar townhouses of $297,259.  That is nearly a 4% increase in average market value since last report.  However, it is not quite a 1% drop … (3 comments)

If you haven't yet had a chance to get out and enjoy either of the Braemar swimming pools, there are still a few weeks to get out and do that.  With the escalating heat and humidity, it may be just the ticket for a hot summer August day.
Right now, it is time for another look at resale activity of houses in our neighborhood built by Ryan Homes.  In this report, we will look at the months of May and June.  
There were six Ryan Homes that sold between May and June.  The low sold price … (2 comments)

Hope you all are enjoying your summer so far.  It's been a fairly mild one, even though lately the typical heat and humidity have been taking over.  
It is time for another Braemar Property Value Report detailing sales of NV Homes in our neighborhood. This particular report covers the sales from May and June.  And only homes built by NV Homes.
There was only one sale of an NV Home in Braemar between May and June.  It's sales price of $520,000 will be what we compare to last report's average market value and last year's average … (0 comments)

Braemar Property Values:  May-June 2015 (Heritage Series)
It is time for another Braemar Property Value Report, detailing sales of homes in the Heritage Series.  Heritage Series homes, for those who may not be familiar, are the mid-sized single family homes, built by Brookfield Homes, with two car attached garages including the following floor plans:  Exeter, Yardley, Zachery & Waverly.
There were fifteen sales of homes in the Heritage Series between May and June.  That might be an all time record number of sales for one of these reports.  The final prices ranged from $$369,000 to $479,000.  Ten of these sales were the ever popular Yardley … (7 comments)

If it seems this Braemar Property Value is being published a bit later than normal, it is.  Of course, you can't miss something, if there is nothing to report, but we'll get to that in a minute.  
This is the Braemar Property Value Report for homes in the Courtyard Series.  Of course, if you don't know what a Braemar Courtyard home is, it is one of three different floor plans that share a private courtyard driveway and have extremely small outdoor spaces.  Models include the Arlington, Clarendon and Ballston.
There were no sales of Braemar Courtyard … (2 comments)

Let me start with an apology to my regular readers.  This Braemar Property Value Report is a little later than normal.  For the first time in years, I took a week off during the summer.  And of course, any real estate agent will tell you, as soon as you start the vacation, business goes nuts.  So getting back to work mean doing double time.
This particular Braemar Property Value Report will cover sales of Braemar Carraige homes from May and June.   Carriage homes are characterized by the lack of an attached garage.  Rather, if they have … (3 comments)

Overall, I would have to say that so far, this summer has been a very mild one in Bristow when it comes to heat and humidity.  Of course, now that we are in August, the heat and humidity is ever present.  Unfortunately, this Braemar Property Value Report is being published later than normal.  For the first time in a very long time, I took a summer vacation the last week of July.  
It was disappointing to pull the statistics for this report and find absolutely no sales for Arista Series homes.  Of course, if you aren't … (2 comments)

This is the second Braemar Reflection Quarterly report.  The month after each quarter ends, this report will be published to show activity in Reflection Series homes.  What's a Reflection Series 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 byBrookfield Homes:  Annan and Bromley.  
Unfortunately, there were no Reflection Series homes that sold in between April and June 2015.  And judging from the one and only sale in the first quarter of $375,000, it is no … (6 comments)

Braemar Piggyback & Patio Quarterly:  April-June 2015
Has anyone else noticed how relatively mild our summer has been in Bristow?  Sure, there have been days of extreme heat and humidity that makes you feel you are in a sauna, but there have been a lot of mild days for July.  Today, for instance, I didn't notice any humidity.  Eighty-eight degrees feels totally different with low humidity.
As far as real estate in our community of Braemar has been concerned, the activity has been fairly low key.  Buyer demand is not the insane pace it was last year, so we are experiencing a more … (5 comments)
