ALEXANDRIA VA JUST SOLD CONDO-6300 STEVENSON AVE #122 ALEXANDRIA VA 22304This Alexandria VA two bedroom,two bath condo was sold on June 13,2022. My buyer client was a referral from a Las Vegas NV Real Estate Agent that I connected with through Facebook. The home buyer was relocating from Las Vegas NV along with his family to Alexandria VA for a new job. Unfortunately he had a bad experience with Navy Federal Credit Union. The appraisal came back $15,000 under our offer price even though I provided comps three times that supports our offer at $280,000. The appraiser refused to use the comps that I sent to him. Unfortunately my client had to use proceeds from the sale of his house for sale in Las Vegas NV to complete the purchase of his Alexandria VA Condo. This is no way to treat our Vet... 06/27/2022

Whether you are a Christian or not, we all love the celebration of Easter. Starting as a story of sacrifice and salvation, Easter does give a message of hope and new beginnings. Without further ado, here are five countries around the world and how they celebrate Easter!1. PolandPoland loves going all out for easter. It all starts on Palm Sunday, where people would buy dried palms which lives up to its name. On Easter Monday, however, instead of just having the dyed eggs like in most countries, they make it in a very intricate flowery design called Pisanki. 2. ItalyScoppio del Carro is a Florence tradition in which white oxen pull a centuries-old cart to the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. The archbishop releases a mechanical dove into the carriage after mass, which explodes in a stun... 04/18/2022

Imagine the first place you lived as a young adult. Now imagine trying to fit your life today into that space. Not pretty, right? For most of us, our housing needs are cyclical.1 A newly independent adult can find freedom and flexibility in even a tiny apartment. That same space, to a growing family, would feel stifling. For empty nesters, a large home with several unused bedrooms can become impractical to heat and clean. It’s no surprise that life transitions often trigger a home purchase. While your home-buying journey may not look like your neighbor’s or friend’s, broad trends can help you understand what to keep in mind as you house hunt. No one wants to regret their home purchase, and taking the time now to think about exactly what you need can save a lot of heartache later. The Ne... 05/03/2021

Across the Northern Virginia region, we've seen the median days on market remain below 10 for the past 12 months.  In Alexandria, buyers saw a little bit of relief in the last quarter of 2020, with median days on market breaking at 12, 16, and 18 days respectively in October, November, and December. Locally and nationwide, it seems harder than ever to find a home to buy. Before the health crisis hit us a year ago, there was already a shortage of homes for sale. When many homeowners delayed their plans to sell at the same time that more buyers aimed to take advantage of record-low mortgage rates and purchase a home, housing inventory dropped even further. Experts consider this to be the biggest challenge facing an otherwise hot market while buyers continue to compete for homes. As Danie... 02/22/2021
