As I'm sure you noticed, the buses are running in LoCo this morning, as the kids (finally) head back to school. I'm admitting to a little melancholy today, as I send my youngest of four off to kindergarten, my middle child to first grade, and my twins to their first year of middle school. It will be a different year for me this year! I'm … [Read more...]

Homes absorbed is still outpacing homes listed...a grand total of 14 single family homes came on market last week in all of Ashburn. Still feel like a buyers' market? I hear agents in my office asking around now, "Hey, I … [Read more...]

If you aren't familiar with it, this community center was built on the site of an old dairy barn and is now home to theater productions, music, and exhibitions. My daughters performed there last … [Read more...]
Here's the bird's eye view of the Loudoun County real estate market this week...Looks like things are pretty stable; with the first time homebuyer tax credit driving demand right now, inventory remains low, and days on market are dropping.

A few things I've received from builders in and around LoCo in the last week or two...if you are interested in any of these communities, just call or email me...

I knew that Loudoun Country Day School was slated to open their new campus this fall, but when I drove by it recently on my way to Brambleton, I was blown away! They have a 68 acre plot of land, and the first phase of construction includes a building to house pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, another for the middle school (6th to 8th), and … [Read more...]
