June 12, 2013 By Chuck Leave a Comment
Real estate much like the stock market has been on a tear recently. May’s housing numbers show our areas continued hyper-low interest rates and historic low housing inventory levels. A couple of key housing stats to look for on this month housing report are the “Active Listings”, “DOM”(Days on Market) and “Avg sold to OLP(original list price) ratio”. These are my personal favorite … [Read More...]
Have you been “Zillowed”
May 10, 2013 By Chuck Leave a Comment
What exactly does being “Zillowed” mean you ask? Well, being “Zillowed” is actually a term I recently read about on a blog (click here) that describes what homebuyers and sellers are running into when searching for real estate information on certain websites( i.e. Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com).

Housing Stats for Northern Va; Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties
March 12, 2013 By Chuck Leave a Comment
Real estate stats for Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties are out for February and for the most part we are showing continued housing strength in our region. Closed sales of homes increased in every county except Loudoun where the number of closings actually fell by almost 30 units from January.
