    ·

    Well, we’ve had one day of warm weather, at least…did it get you thinking about the spring real estate market at all? Getting an itch to buy and/or sell? When we start seeing some warm days is when we start to see listings hitting the market in Loudoun…typically. Now is a great time to have…

    I posted last week on LoCo Musings and LoCo Market Stats analyzing how much of our active real estate market in Loudoun is currently made up of ‘distressed’ sales, meaning short sales or foreclosures. What I found is that it varies depending where in the county you are, and also what home type you are…

    Remember when I mentioned that M/I Homes had opened a storefront location in Leesburg, wondering what other projects they had on tap besides the new townhomes in Kincaid Forest? They are now working on a new community called Station View at the corner of Croson Lane and Old Ryan Road in Ashburn, just off the…

  • LoCo New Construction Roundup

    ·

    I was driving through downtown Leesburg this week, and noticed that M/I Homes now has a storefront at the corner of King and Market Street (does anyone remember what was in that space before? I can’t remember).  I have to say I was surprised, wondering if they have a new community near downtown that they…
