Just got back from settlement.  This lovely single family home in Warrenton was a short sale.  There were two separate lien holders, a first and second mortgage.  The house would not sell for what was owed.  The owners contacted me and listed the home for short sale on February 26th.  On March 1st we received the offer that ended up going to settlement today, May 28th. The home sold for it's full list price of $234,500.  And you can see that the time it took to get an offer and go to closing was not as bad as you may hear.  And I'm here to tell you that the second trust on this one was not at all easy to deal with. If you are having trouble maintaining your residence and can't refinance with loan modification, give me a call.  I am an experienced short sale agent. Chris Ann Cleland, Rea... 05/28/2009

  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 low of $455,000 to a high of $625,000. The average price per square foot on those homes sold was $85. (Price per square foot has been calculated using information available in MLS and county tax records.) There were no foreclosure sales. Contrast that with 2008. No homes have sold thus far in this community, 7 full months into the year. There are currently 6 homes for sale with one of them under contract. Three of the six are foreclosures. Two other homeowners have given up for now and taken their... 07/30/2008

Warrenton and Culpeper have, for some time now, been considered bedroom communities. Basically the people who have been moving here were commuting to someplace far away to work each day and coming home to sleep. As more and more families couldn't afford homes closer to their jobs, they came looking out this way. Often they put up with miserable commutes in order to get that new house for their family. This was part of what fueled the boom in real estate in our communities. And, the end of that flock of commuters moving here has had much to do with the real estate bust, at a local level. Even with the recent decline in the price of oil, a real long-term reduction in gas prices now seems unlikely. And, as long as gas is at or above $4/gallon, those commuters are probably not coming back. ... 07/24/2008

This past Saturday was the monthly food distribution to Fauquier's needy families. This may not come as a surprise to most of you, but with the economic difficulties more and more families are lining up to get the meager amount of food we're able to provide. This past weekend 222 families equaling a total of 728 were there to get food. 290 of those were under 18 and 101 were over 65. December is typically the busiest month, with families feeling the pinch during the holidays. But this month surpassed any previous December. And, it blew any other July out of the books.   Month # of Families Individuals Under 18 Over 65 07/04 127 363 142 47 07/05 108 253 64 66 07/06 117 323 104 70 07/07 119 341 126 73   And, FCFDC believes that more families would show up for help if they had transportati... 07/23/2008

Earlier this week I attended the monthly meeting of Green Drinks Warrenton. Green Drinks is an international organization designed to connect people involved in environmental causes. These monthly get togethers happen all over the world. And, now they're right here in Warrenton. Deborah Williamson started the group after a friend from Maryland invited her to one there. She got excited about the concept and went online to find one nearer Warrenton. Unfortunately, the closest one she could find was in DC. She attended a gathering there, but knew she didn't want to travel into DC all the time. So, she did the only sensible thing and decided to start one here. The initial event took place in May and was very well attended. Warrenton's mayor, George Fitch, attended to tell us all about the p... 07/18/2008
