In the last 3 weeks, the number of homes sold in Ashburn, Virginia that were on the market for 30 days or less was almost 40% of total sales.  On the other hand, almost the same percentage of homes sold were on the market for 6 months or more (37%).  Why is this happening?  The short sales cycle for new listings can be attributed to proper pricing (listing price).  In the last 4 or 5 months, prices have remains fairly consistent.  This has allowed sellers and their agents to make a pretty accurate assessment of current market value and be confident in their analysis.  The prices that houses are selling for is no longer a rapidly moving target as it was for the last 4 or 5 years.  The houses that are taking 6 months to sell can be attributed to pressure.  These are houses that have been ... 03/23/2007

AS OF TODAY, WHILE I CANNOT PREDICT TOMORROW OR NEXT MONTH, THERE ARE NOT AN EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER OF HOMES GOING TO FORECLOSURE IN LOUDOUN COUNTY, VIRGINIAAbout an hour ago, I received a phone call from a reporter for the Washington Post attempting toverify a rumor that she had heard that many homes were going to foreclosure in a community in a luxury neighborhood in Ashburn in Loudoun County, Virginia.  Sorry, Washington Post, our homes are not going to foreclosure in huge numbers.  I have not heard of an extraordinary number of home owners going under because their mortgage payments have increased beyond the owner's ability to pay.  If that were the case, seems to me that prices for some of the homes on the market would be reduced to sell.  I could have sold two homes last week if the... 03/16/2007

How is the market?  What is the market doing?  What will the market be like in 6 months?  Is the market going to keep going down? These are just some of the questions we get asked every day by our clients, our prospects, friends and acquaintances.  It is a question we need to be able to answer without hesitation and with conviction because the answer to this question if done correctly can lead to higher close rates and more business.  So how do we figure out what is happening in the market?  Being that we are just one little agent in a sea of thousands in our markets, our activity is not a large enough sample to draw from.  We must be able to analyze the marketplace with the data we have available to us.  Now this might seem overwhelming especially if you are not an economist or a stati... 01/18/2007
