I typically take the "back way" from Purcellville to Leesburg at least a few times a week, so I noticed right away when they started doing groundworks on a new community on Dry Mill Road.

Actually, no, let them roll. If you have an opportunity to peek in the February Blue Ridge Leader newspaper, the article in the real estate section might look familiar! I'm proud to announce that I've accepted their offer to write a monthly real estate column for them as they revamp their content in the new year. While the first story was an … [Read more...]
Spring is right around the corner, I promise! Just a reminder that the orange 'condo' line includes townhomes, too. Inventory feels low to me, still, and I'm expecting that it will begin to rise as we get into the full rush of the spring market. At this point, I'm only seeing 15-20 new listings per day in Loudoun, which means buyers still … [Read more...]

Since it's January, I've noticed a lot of the "10 Most Expensive Homes Sold" stories on the national level...so I thought I'd do the same for us LoCo folks. Of course, there were two homes tied for 10th, which gives us the top 11 homes by sale price in Loudoun for 2010.
