It feels like we're all moving in slow motion these days in the real estate industry. Or maybe we're just wading through deep mud that's slowing us all down! Or choose your own mental image here. And, there's one segment of the real estate industry that's almost single handedly responsible for th...

  Lake Whippoorwill is a subdivision on the DC side of Warrenton, just off of 605. The tax records show 122 homes in this community. The homes here are mostly colonials, generally on lots between 1 and 2 acres. In 2007, 7 homes were sold in Lake Whippoorwill. The net sales prices ranged from a lo...

While an increase in sales and a decrease in inventory al...

A recent lunch with a banker friend got me curious about current prices per square foot in specific local subdivisions. Apparently a builder had recently told my friend that he couldn't build a house (including land acquisition costs) for as little as the current price per square foot on existing...

The official June numbers have been released for this area of Virginia. Let's take a look, by county, at what they have to tell us. First, Culpeper County. Compared to a year ago, inventory is down (732 now vs. 784 then). New contracts written have jumped (61 now vs. 47 then) and we see the same ...

There's a constant refrain here. And, I know I sound like a record stuck in a groove. But May numbers continue to reinforce that we've still got too much inventory. Culpeper County shows we're only eight units off where we were last year at this time. The good news is that sales jumped substantia...
