Wondering if now is a good time to buy a new home? Thinking about waiting a little while longer to purchase because you think you have plenty of time left before mortgage interest rates rise? You might want to take another look at the Infographic below from Real Estate with Keeping Current Matters. Homebuyers have a great selection of new homes available now and most economists predict 2016 will be the best year for the housing market in over 7 years.What is the real cost of waiting another year? As the Keeping Current Matters' chart points out, the cost of waiting to buy is defined as "the additional funds it would take to buy a home if prices and interest rates were to increase over a period of time". The longer you wait to buy your dream home, the more likely the interest rates will ...

There are many things to do in Yorktown Virginia.  Yorktown Virginia is home of the field where the Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington and the Revolutionary War was won!  In addition to the historic sites Yorktown is a great place to have dinner, a drink or ice cream. The beach at Yorktown overlooks the York River just a few miles west of where the York flows into the Chesapeake Bay.  It is a favorite spot for locals to gather to see the full moon rise.  This picture of the blue moon was taken a few minutes after sunset on July 31, 2015. The Coleman Bridge connects Yorktown to Gloucester Pointe.  It is a beautiful site on a calm night when the lights from the bridge are reflecting on the glassy York River.If you are in the Williamsburg area, Yorktown is just a short drive and i...

Looking for your next house plan to build? Take a look at the new homes at Founders Pointe, near Smithfield, Virginia. Are you happy with your current house plan? Has your lifestyle changed in the last five or ten years? Have you been waiting for the right time to build your dream home? Now is the best time in over a decade to build a new home.

Are you looking for the "right" home or "right" price? How about finding the right neighborhood  too? It seems that many real estate agents and buyers visiting our communities in recent years are locked into finding the home with the best deal or best price. We like to remind them that they should also be looking for the "right" community! In this price-conscious home buying market, everyone involved should also focus on finding the right place to live- that being the location or community. Too often, homebuyers tell their agents how many bedrooms and baths they want, but ignore looking at new construction opportunities because they think that the home prices will be higher than a resale. Sometimes, their best option will be finding the right neighborhood and then working closely with ...

Why are homes selling so fast homes are selling fast?      Here in Hampton roads homes are selling fast. Let me explain why, we have a large population of military who have bought homes when they were more expensive. So nw that they are PCS'ed to another base their only options are to sell or rent. As rent prices rise buying a home is looking more and more affordable. As the VA and other lending institutions tighten up there guidelines on qulifications and credit scores. Also keep in mind that there are only so many homes on the market that are actually homes consumers want to buy!      I would recommend if you can buy a home now is the time to start planning where your going to buy, when and which lender is right for you. I have had three buyers in the past three months that have decid...
