virginia beach real estate: The 2009 Virginia Beach Area Real Estate bottoming out!? - 03/26/09 08:19 AM
If your waiting for the real estate residential market to bottom out, I believe the time is near. When we reach the bottom, a lot changes in the ride up from the bottom--price of Homes increase; interest rates go up, and inventory of Homes goes down. Anyone in the market to buy a Home "cheap", don't wait too long or it could pass you by. Listen up 1st time Home Buyers and relocating Retirees! Buy low now!
As you know, currently, prices of Homes are low, interest rates are below 5% and a large inventory of Homes are available in all price ranges. Additionally, if you know of anyone that … (2 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Real Estate in Virginia Beach and elsewhere and good Realtors here and elsewhere...!! - 10/28/08 03:26 AM
It bothers me when I read or hear something negative about Realtors. I am proud to be a Realtor in the Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth and All Surrounding Areas of Virginia and find it deeply rewarding.
As in any profession, their are a few "bad apples" that tend to tarnish the reputation, to some degree, of all. My experience with other Realtors in the Virginia Beach and surrounding areas of Va have been almost universally positive. When you treat someone with professional respect they tend to reciprocate.
The rare exception can be handled with a closer scrutiny of that individual, and letting him/her know that you … (0 comments)

Now, South Hampton Roads consists of 5 Cities; Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk. No Counties because the Cities over … (0 comments)

virginia beach real estate: National Sites Vs Local Sites for Real Estate Search Phrases; Local Insight?!......... - 09/12/08 03:40 AM
National Sites in real estate, mostly because of their sheer size, hold the top 1-6 positions in almost any real estate search phrase. At least it's prevelent for real estate in the Virgina Beach, Chesapeke, Suffolk, Norfolk and surrounding areas of Va.
Realtor.com (our partner?) and Homegain are prevelent in the organic or natural results in both Google and Yahoo; Google has a Google Base site that has a conglomeration of  real estate related information from The Real Estate Book, Homes.com, Harmon Homes, FSBO sites, and individual Real Estate Co's and Realtors who add some of their listings. The same holds true for Yahoo under their Real Estate Category.

virginia beach real estate: Virginia Beach Real Estate and too good to be true......?!?! - 09/12/08 02:15 AM
When something looks too good to be true, it more then likely is. The extreme of this is a home in a million dollar +/- neighborhood going for $265,650. There is most likely a great deal of problems with the home that requires correcting. Plus the real estate taxes on the home is probable $8,000-$10,000+ per year. That said, they are good deals out there for everyone, but not to the extreme. That's for Infomercials about real estate on TV.  There is currently a Home in Virginia Beach Va listed for sale for $744,000 but will go to Auction on the 29th of September, if it hasn't … (0 comments)

Been vacationing in Virginia Beach, Va this year and/or previous years? Ever thought about maybe purchasing a vacation home or second home? You might want to consider the Virginia Beach area.
Lot's of reasons to give Virginia Beach consideration for a vacation/second home.

virginia beach real estate: Virginia Beach Real Estate and the Looking Up of Home Sales in 2007.....!! - 02/15/08 08:16 AM
Despite the national and local news media talk about the status of the Real Estate industry, things are
looking up in the Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portmouth, Norfolk Area of Virginia.
In the year 2007, the price of Homes sold in Virginia Beach increased from 2006 by almost 6%. This near 6%
increase in Virginia Beach is more reflective of the real estate market in the area (prior to the Real Estate Boom
between 2002-2005) ie an increase in value yearly of 4%-7+%, consistently over time. The Virginia Beach
Area Real Estate market has always been a very stable market with no real downturns and always a positive
increase in Home Values! Residents of the Virginia Beach … (1 comments)

This posting is a little update on the population base (and some other odds and ends) in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk, Portsmouth and all surrounding areas of Va ; Area is sometimes called Tidewater, sometimes called S Hampton Roads, and sometimes called Norfolk/Virginia Beach area.

virginia beach real estate: Virginia Beach Real Estate and News Media "the sky is falling"...!? - 01/03/08 03:00 AM
Happy New Year 2008 to all!
The local and national news media continue to get the status of Real Estate overall wrong..wrong..wrong! How frustrating it is to all of us in the real estate business and how concerning and confusing it is to potential real estate buyers and sellers.
Our local newspaper had an article (front page; below the fold) a couple of days ago, regarding the condition of real estate in this part of Va ie Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk and Portsmouth and all other areas in the broader general area of Virginia. They used statistics, indicating a large inventory of homes for sale and … (3 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Virginia Beach Real Estate and "Downtown" Virginia Beach...! - 12/18/07 06:48 AM
Virginia Beach is a city with a large land mass of 310 sq miles and a population of 435,000. For all these many years Virginia Beach has been growing and real estate has been healthy. With a nice tourist business (Beaches and close proximity to history ie Williamsburg) and an economy anchored by Military Bases, and a diverse population of good people, Virginia Beach has been a wonderful place to live.
But, alass, with all this good news, Virginia Beach had no downtown. :-(  About 3 years ago a master plan was generated by a number of visionary citizens with a public/private partnership and now we … (1 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Virginia Beach Real Estate and Shea Drive...! - 12/15/07 02:55 AM
The street in front of the Municipal Center in Chesapeake, Va is named Shea Drive. All cities have some reason for the naming of the streets. It could be a nautical theme if the area is near some type of water; a name from old Europe, if the development was originally inhabited by people from a particular place in Europe; or the name of different birds, if certain type of birds are prevelent in the area; and dozens and dozens of other categories.
Shea Drive in Chesapeake, Va was named after Lt Shea, a young 1951 graduate of West Point from Chesapeake, Virginia, who was a Company Commander in the Korean War in … (0 comments)
