 A few of the layouts for the Lakeshore Condos at Ashburn Village Are you thinking about buying a condo at Lakeshore? Check out the 3 Reasons People Love Lakeshore.  Want to get an idea of how they look?  Have I got some videos for you! These are homes I've sold or rented recently.There are two types of 1 bedroom condo.  This first video shows the unit that spans the entire building, from front to back.  The bedroom is in the front with the living space in the back overlooking common area.  This owner opened up the unit by removing a wall but it gives you a good idea of the layout.  Since it is a 3rd floor unit, it has vaulted ceilings.  This home has sold but click the image at the bottom of the blog if you want to know when it comes on the market again. This next video is also of a 1 ...

Lakeshore at Ashburn Village Market Update February 2023 The second half of 2022 was quite slow at Lakeshore.  Three condos were listed with one expiring and two selling.In comparison, this year is starting out great with four homes coming on the market. One was listed and closed in February, 2 went under contract in February and one is still activeHow are the prices?  With very little on the market in general but specifically at Lakeshore, they are still very strong.  The one home that sold was a 2 bedroom,  2 bath, top floor unit that was listed for $350,000 that sold for $362,000.  The two condos that are under contract went in 3 and 4 days so I think they will sell for close to list price if not more.  I'll let you know next month!Interested in buying or selling a home at Lakeshore?...

As a seasoned Northern Virginia Realtor (hitting 2 decades), many of my mentees have come and gone in the real estate industry. One of the common questions many of these mentees have asked me "How do I get that listing or buyers and have instead pipeline of the business? I am pumped up and ready to sell like HGTV. "As we all know Rome was not built in one day and so will be your business. I was a rookie once and was the envy of my peers who were successful. It sounded so glamorous seeing their volume of business and sales. So, I understand these sentiments my rookie mentees have. It is tough to be empty and waiting on that call or sales to happen. Over the decades in the real estate industry, I have learned: We live in a world of glitter and glamor. And sales are like a Vegas buffet. We...

Bit of a throwback here from last week, but this is so important that you can't miss it! This is the Weekly Real Estate Market Report of April Week 2!Inflation was such a hot topic from last week, as the snowball continues. There were some new construction lately (check out Metro Walk at Moorefield Station and Hillside at Broadlands) which helps the inventory, but competition is still very tight.My tip for the buyers -- this is STILL an opportunity market. If you're thinking about buying that home, go for it! Go get those contingencies which you haven't been getting in the past two years! I repeat: If you're a buyer, THIS. IS. IT.If you're a home seller, go ahead and list that home! Take advantage of the inventory -- this is the best time to sell your home fast and with lots of good off...

Want to sell your home and get the sale of your lifetime? Staging your home to sell is the key! Welcome to a brand new series called Staging to Sell where I give tips on how you can sell your home in style.It doesn't matter what type of bathroom it is - primary suite, powder room, hallway bath, basement -- we all know that we all need to use the bathroom, and is one of the most used utilities at home. What you can do to stage your bathroom is to move all of those bath messes - mismatching towels, bathrooms, and all others. Buy a dozen of white towels and put it around to give it a spa-like feeling. My biggest pet peeve is the worn-out caulkings around the showers, bathtubs, toilets, and sinks. this is an indication that the homeowner has not been taking care of the home by simply lookin...

With that said, here are my tips for the home buyers and sellers right now:For BuyersI would recommend continuing with the home search for a long-term investment.
