Happy Holiday's to everyone, and have a very Happy New!
Speaking of New Years, 2009 has come and gone. Where did the year go? It's seems like so much has occured this year to make the time fly by like pages on a daily calander. In early 2009 the sales prices of homes in Loudoun County were steadily decreasing due to the Foreclosures and Short Sales. Then as the winter turned into summer we began to hit the bottom. Sales prices held steady and in some places we saw a slight increase. With the changing of the market First Time Home Buyers took advantage of the Tax Credits and the great FHA loan programs. With 2010 knocking at the front door and the Housing Tax Credit coming to an end verys soon, I am looking forward to see what the 2010 real estate market will bring.
I am anticipating a busy 1st quarter and a Short Sales to rule the up and coming year. If you are looking to purchase a short sale, make sure you use a Certified Distress Property Expert or CDPE for short. If you are thinking of selling your home and want to explore your options, I'd be happy to guide you in the right direction.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's to all!! See you in the New Year!
