Braemar Townhouse Report:  May-June 2013
Summer has been steamy for the most part in Braemar.  Growing up in Northern Virginia, I expect hazy, hot and humid in the summer, but some of the days in July felt like I was walking into a sauna when I left my home.  Made me want to rethink my work dress code and wear shorts and a light t-shirt while showing homes.  And I've shown a lot of homes this summer.
In May and June there were eight Braemar townhouses that sold.  All but two had garages.  The high sold price was $298,000 and the … (5 comments)

Braemar Property Values:  May-June 2013 (Courtyard Series)
There's something really depressing about a rainy weekend day in the summer.  It puts a halt to folks going to the pool and doing other outdoor activities they waited the entire week for.  What it doesn't do is keep folks out of our Braemar real estate market.  And let me tell you, the Braemar Courtyard homes saw a lot of activity over the last two months.  
In case you are unfamiliar, a Braemar Courtyard home is one of three different models that share a private courtyard driveway and have very small yards. … (2 comments)

Braemar Property Values:  March-April 2013 (Courtyard Series)

It is hard to concentrate on a beautiful spring day with the sun shining in my office window.  I'll take the sun over the rain any day.  And despite the way that sun is winking at me, I am here to bring you the latest real estate activity for Braemar Courtyard homes from the months of March and April.  In case you are unfamiliar, a Braemar Courtyard home is one of three different models that share a private courtyard driveway and have very small yards.  Models include the Arlington, Ballston and Clarendon.

Braemar Property Values:  January-February 2013 (Heritage Series)
Driving through Braemar today all that's missing are green lawns and trees, and flowers.  The winter brown is
still in full effect, but the sun is shining and the temperature is in the mid-sixties.  Spring feels as though it has finally arrived.
With the first two months of 2013 behind us, we can take a look back at the Braemar real estate market and see how Heritage Series home values fared.  Heritage Series homes are the mid-sized single family homes, built by Brookfield Homes, with two car attached garages including the following floor plans:  Exeter, … (6 comments)

Braemar Townhouse Report:  November-December 2012 
Two more months until we are officially out of winter and into spring and there's been no snow and fairly mild temps to date.  There are some below freezing day time temps forecast for Bristow this week, but other than that, we've had a pretty mild winter here in Braemar.  (knock on wood)
With November and December behind us, we can take a look back at the last two months of 2012 and see how the Braemar townhouse values made out as the year came to a close.  As has always been the case in … (8 comments)

Braemar Condo Quarterly:  October-December 2012
Happy New Year to my fellow Braemar residents.  With the last quarter of 2012 on the books, it is time to look back and see how Braemar condo values fared as 2012 came to close.  
There were only two sales of Braemar condos to report in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The high sales price was $210,000, while the low sales price was $165,000.  The average of their two sales prices gives us our new average market value of Braemar condos:  $$187,500.  That's over a 5.5% increase since the average value noted in the third … (0 comments)

Braemar Property Values:  November-December 2012 (Courtyard Series)
We're one month into winter and still no snow in Braemar.  Some of you may cheer at that, but not me.  I love at least one good snow each winter and flurries don't count.  In my book, if it's going to be cold, it may as well snow.  Give me a change of scenery with a blanket of white on everything.

Braemar Property Values:  November-December 2012 (Carriage Series)
Looking at the forecast for Bristow, it looks like we are about to get walloped with some day time temps below freezing.  Braemar residents will want to make sure they are bundled up for that.  Despite the fact that it's mid to late January, it is now time to look back to the last two months of 2012 and see how Braemar Carriage home values fared.  Carriage homes are characterized by the lack of attached garage.  Rather, it has a detached garage, if it has one at all  Not all Carriage home buyers opted for the … (2 comments)
