THERE IS CONSIDERABLE COMPETITION FOR NEW HOME BUYERS IN LOVETTSVILLE, Virginia.  Three major builders are vying for a VERY limited number of home buyers.  Base price is critical, but what does it mean??New Homes in Lovettsville is exciting because the "Lovettsville New Town Center" will offer parks, medical offices, restaurants and will be surrounded with lovely new homes perfectly suited to the area and real estate in Lovettsville, Virginia.SO THE BASE PRICE IS ONLY $499,900???  Just what does that mean??  Well, for most builders it means that you will get a house with standard features that include such items as the roof and front door.  After that, so many things that make the model home so attractive to home buyers are "upgrades".  Without the upgrades, you do not get the GOURMET K...

IT'S MAGIC, I'M SURE.  But, it appears that no matter where you enter almost anything on the Internet, it can be picked up by Google and appear in the most unexpeted places.  And, no doubt about it, ACTIVE RAIN IS EVERYWHERE ! ! ! !   Witness below.  On about the 12th of January, Teresa Boardman tagged me for a MEME and I responded with a short response about 5 things . . . . . .   My response was short because I was under a deadline to do something which I now cannot even recall.  No matter, the short response I made then is not in the SERP on SearchMash in a search for "lovettsville homes for sale".  SearchMash mimics the Google SERP, but it's a great place to see what graphics are indexed.  I love maps and have a number of them on my web sites.  These maps are popular with viewers an...

IT PAYS TO CULTIVATE NEW HOME BUILDERS For the past 3-4 weeks, I've been previewing new construction in Lovettsville.  The couple I'm working with are almost ready to make a decision and a commitment.  They are arranging their financing for the earnest money and getting their contingencies priced and listed.  WE'RE ALMOST THERE.  100% FINANCING AVAILABLE.  Builders pay $10,000 for YOUR closing costs and upgrades.  New home buyers will also benefit from the Homefinders.com NEW HOME REBATE.  One Percent (1%) of the purchase price will go a long way towards closing and upgrades.  IT'S LIKE GOING TO "CHEERS", "WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME".  So, as is my way, I cultivate the builders with a visit now and then to stay on top of the prices, incentives, just to chat, attend their open house...

The signs have been up for almost 2 years.                          ** COMING SOON **   ** OPENING IN SPRING 2006 **    ** OPENING FALL 2006 **The sign has been on the property for a long time and we were beginning to wonder if it would ever open.  Well, they opened last Saturday morning and had 4 sales by 3:00 p.m. when this Lovettsville resident visited the site last Saturday afternoon.  In a market where little to nothing is selling, these properties are moving.  Sure, there were probably a few folks waiting for them to open, but still.  Just think - - With no model home, 4 sales by 3:00 p.m. on the first open day must be gratifying for the builder.  Lovely homes for seniors.  We've seen the signs.  We knew they were coming and now that the sales trailer is open, they are SELLING LIK...

Today was a busy day previewing and preparing for a young couple who plan to buy a home prior to getting married in the fall.  The home will be under construction now until about September and ready for them to move in when they sell the two homes they now own.  Fortunately, they purchased their present homes prior to the rapid escalation of prices and each has significant equity to finance the purchase of their new home.  The responded to my Lovettsville web site.  Homefinders.com offers loads of information for home buyers but the real preparation is in previewing.  As a buyer's agent, I try to do extensive previewing of the market before touring with home buyers in Virginia or Maryland.  Site #1.  Popular national builder offering homes in Lovettsville on small lots in a community of...

I've been waiting for some winter weather.  Not because I particularly like it.  I do not.  But, I believe that someone in a garden shop once told me that tulip bulbs bloom better if they get a good freeze during the winter months.  I don't know if it's true but I figure he knows more than I so, when it freezes I just say, "Good for the tulip bulbs."Snow is beautiful.  The images below are a reflection of a driving tour on February 16, 2007, a day following the snow fall the day before.  This snow was particularly difficult because following the snow, it rained and then we went into a deep freeze.  Two days later, the snow has just begun to melt in 35 degrees on Saturday.Enjoy            Lovettsville, VA 2/17/2007.  A simple piece of landscaping when photographed against the snow backgr...

I LOVE ROCKS.  I love rocks around my yard.  But, those dang things are expensive.  Once I got to a point in my new house that I could focus on growing grass in the back yard, I noticed the the really bare spots were where rocks were visible right at the surface.  Not knowing what was underground, I spoke with the gentleman that cuts my grass to see if he could UNEARTH some of these rocks so I could use them for landscaping.  Landscaping rocks for new or resale homes in Loudoun County cost a bloody fortune.  Of course, I don't have the bill from Jeremy, the landscaping gentleman who is doing the heavy lifting.  WOW! !   Did I strike it rich.  There is a vein of rock just off my driveway.  I recall seeing these beautiful rocks around the yard when the grading was being done.  I told the ...
