With little inventory, it is prime time for home owners to jump off the fence and list their Richmond VA home for sale.

Don't Break the Sugar Bowl in Richmond VA Real Estate

When I was a kid, "Don't Break the Sugar Bowl" was a game my dad liked to play with me and my brother. If you are not familiar with this game, it is simple and goes like this: the first one to talk loses. Little did I know at the time this was a ploy by my dad to get my brother and me to be quiet on road trips. Sneaky man...preying on the competitiveness of siblings! Now that I am a mother, I certainly can appreciate the method to … (9 comments)

richmond va real estate agent: The Return of the Escalation Clause - Richmond VA Real Estate - 03/19/13 09:04 AM

As I mentioned in previous articles, the Richmond VA real estate market has shown clear signs of a return to a more balanced and healthy climate. Interest rates are still low, inventory is down, and prices are increasing. Another indication of this is the return of the escalation clause.
What is an escalation clause? This is verbiage written into a contract for purchase giving instruction to increase your offer by X amount of dollars over other verifiable offers up until a certain price. When is an escalation clause used? Typically a savvy Richmond VA Realtor will recommend this strategy … (42 comments)

I was never a Lego girl - I was a Barbie girl. However, my younger brother loved them and, as it turns out, my husband shared the same enthusiasm for Lego's when he was a kid. This year, we decided to give our kids Lego sets for Christmas. And, many family members had the same idea...we have about 8 sets to put together! I was surprised by my daughters interest in them, but not shocked by her ability to grasp the concept and put them together in a heartbeat. And, I have been enjoying watching my son labor over his … (6 comments)

richmond va real estate agent: Richmond Area Housing Market Today vs 1976 - 12/25/12 09:57 PM

Merry Christmas! I hope today has been a day full of love, laughter, and lightening quick gift opening like it has been in my home. Having two 6 year olds really keeps us on our toes and it has been wonderful watching them discover the magic of not only Santa, but the reason for the season.
During the fast and furious exchanging of gifts, I opened one of those "Remember When..." books for my birth year, 1976. (I'm not actually going to tell you my age, but you can do the math!) When I had a moment to take a … (10 comments)

Richmond, Virginia is one of the most philanthropic cities I have ever lived in. Sure, there may be more charities in another city, but no one shouts as loud in support of their cause like Richmonders do. Giving back is a thread you will find woven into the very coat of this Southern city. I have many friends … (6 comments)

richmond va real estate agent: 12 Days of Holiday Gifts From Richmond VA Businesses | Spirited Art - 12/18/12 02:54 AM

I like to think of myself as a creative person. Matter of fact, whenever we go on vacation I always come home with a new piece of pottery that I painted on the beach and proudly add it to my collection. It has become a tradition of sorts. However, my creativity with a pencil is another story. As I watch my son and daughter make wonderful masterpieces that only 6 year olds can do, I find myself confined to stick figures and an odd looking penguins.
Recently, a friend invited me to a girl's night out to a place where … (2 comments)

Only one word can describe this beautiful place: magical!
During our trip, we saw the wide-eyes of children (and many adults) as they took … (2 comments)
