Ashburn, VA Real Estate News

Ashburn is split between 2 zip codes.  Most of Ashburn is within the 20147 zip with neighborhoods like Ashburn Village, Belmont Country Club, Ashburn Farm, and Farmwell Hunt.  20148 is pretty new with neighborhoods like Broadlands, Brambleton, Villages of Waxpool.  Residents of 20148 are a little more adamant about this distinction.  The population of residents within 20147 is much larger than 20148.  It's the equivalent of Tiny Tim Vs. The Hulk.  Nevertheless, the growth of 20148 is increasing and there is still a lot of room for development which is being taken advantage of by builders. Since Wednesday are for STATS... I thought it would be best to show you the housing value comparison between the two. CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE  20147 (Ashburn Village, Ashburn Farm, Belmont Country Club...

The last time I checked, the average age for Ashburn is around 32 years old.  There is not a large senior adult population in Ashburn currently. If you think it will remain this way, you could be in for a surprise within the next 5-10 years.  If the average age for the population is in the mid 30's you should assume that there are grandchildren in the picture.  Since many of the residents in this area are transplants, grandparents are now deciding that they are tired of missing out on their youngsters childhood. What are the signs that I am seeing predicting this???1.  One of the most read articles read on my site found through google is an article concerning Ashby Ponds (An Assisted Living Center Being Built in Ashburn).2.  Many builders in the area have begun to build 55+ communities ...

Since we discussed whether you should rent or sell in this market yesterday, I thought it would help if you understood how long on average it is taking homes to rent (the red bar) and how many have rented (the blue bar) thus far in April.  These stats only include homes in Ashburn, Leesburg, and Sterling VA.  Related Posts:Loudoun County Market StatsShould You Rent Or Sell Your Home In Loudoun County?Data was compiled by Jonathan Bunn using using current data from MRIS.  Information is deemed reliable but should be verified for accuracy.

Basically, Ashburn Virginia is the picture of suburban bliss.  It is made up of several planned communities with a range of home prices and styles, from $200,000 for condos to over $1,000,000 for the largest detached homes.  The main developments, in order of oldest to newest, are Ashburn Village, Ashburn Farm, Belmont Country Club, Broadlands, Loudoun Valley Estates, and Brambleton.  However, even the oldest homes are no more than 20 years old, which is fairly young for most parts of the country.  The newness of everything is almost a joke here.  There are constantly new shopping centers, new office parks, new schools, and new homes being constructed.  So if you're looking for new, it's easy to find here.  Ashburn was once, not that long ago, nothing but farmland.  In the late 80's, th...

Good, bad or indifferent we are living through (and hopefully working through) a real estate market that will not be forgotten.  This is one for the history books.  The investors are out there right now.  Buying.   Profit is made when you buy a home, not when you sell it.  They are scooping up the homes my first time buyers want!  True investors did not buy when the market was hot.  They sat back and waited.  Do you buy something worth 1/4 million (or more) on emotion or logic?  Investors base their purchases on numbers.  Profit is made when you buy.

One of my good friends is a Model Sailboat Guru.  As someone who has raced and sailed Sailboats all over the place; he traded in his BIG (Life-sized) sailboat for something that will fit into a DC condo.  In fact he has 3 or 4 different sized boats.  He is a Boat-a-holic.So where does he sail these (his words) "Hi-Tech, Model, Sailing Yachts"?  In Ashburn, VA.  He belongs to a group called the Ashburn Model Yacht Club.These guys and gals; build and race Sailboats of several shapes and sizes almost every Sunday.  From the cool end of winter in February to the end of fall in November; they are out at their favorite pond in Ashburn Village, racing their hand-built sailboats.The boats range in size from 12" long to 38" long.  When you add the height of the sails - they are quite impressive....

Loudoun County assessments came out earlier this month and assessed values went down in most areas of the county.  But did they go down enough for your area of the county?  This is the breakdown for the change in prices for the Ashburn area of Loudoun County.  This analysis is for the 20147 and 20148 zip codes.  It will show you the difference in values for homes sold at the end of 2006 versus the end of 2007. Two different datasets were used:   Homes sold in the month of December and homes settled between December 16th and January 15th.  A complete explanation can be found in the first post of this series.Ashburn Market Value AnalysisUnder contract Dec 1 - Dec 3120082007(+/-)% changeAll Ashburn$433,324$507,273-$73,949-14.6%20147$419,218$478,606-$59,388-12.4%20148$451,142$572,515-$121,3...

Increased concern of inflation caused mortgage applications to drop nearly 23% last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.  The MBA reported that the average application rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages had risen 37 basis points by last Friday to 6.09 percent, as a result. While updated rate surveys from are set to be released tomorrow, early evidence suggests rates have jumped even further to start this week - erasing nearly all of the rate drops that we have seen in less than two weeks time.  Current 30 year FRM's are averaging 6.25% today while 15 year FRM's are averaging 5.75%.Concerns of increasing inflationary pressures could be warranted.  The U.S. Department of Labor released January's CPI report (Consumer Price Index), showing an increase of over 4% in pricin...
