Awesome Deal on Patio Furniture cushions in Alexandria, Va.

Leave a comment

I just wanted to share this awesome deal (I think) that I got on outdoor Patio Cushions. The ones on my screened porch furniture were really old and really rough so I started looking for replacement cushions. Mine were large so I needed what they call deep seating cushions. They are VERY EXPENSIVE. Each cushion (back or seat) ranged in price from $69-$200…..EACH. Eight cushions could have set me back almost as much as I paid for the whole furniture set of two chairs and sofa. I found these cushions at Lowe’s in Alexandria for $49.98 for a set of the seat AND back cushion…..I know…right. I couldn’t believe it, and they have lots of different colors and styles. Here’s a link to website where I found them. https://www.lowes.com/pl/Patio-furniture-cushions-Patio-cushions-pillows-Patio-furniture-Outdoors/4294415673?searchTerm=patio+cushions

I did go to the store to pick them up and they had to get boxes down from the top shelves for me to get my needed 4 sets of two cushions.

If you are looking for replacement patio cushions, and you are in Northern Virginia, I would definitely check them out.

Congratulations to First Time buyer Ashley

Leave a comment

Ashley is clearly excited about the purchase of her first home in March 2017 in Falls Church, Va. It’s a big step but the best way to build a strong financial base for her future. Ashley’s new home is located near the Mosaic district in Merrifield where she will be able to shop and meet her friends for food and drinks at the many popular restaurants.

Buying your first home can be a little intimidating. It doesn’t matter whether you are spending $200,000 or $2,000,000. Want to feel as good as Ashley about your first purchase? Work with a realtor who can provide experience, wisdom and guidance along the way. 571-228-5656. janejensen@comcast.net  I love first time buyers. It’s one of the more rewarding experiences of being a realtor.

Police Seek Information on Suspicious Subject

Captain Patrick Donahue from Arlington County Police Department · 50m ago

The Arlington County Police Department is making the public aware of two instances of suspicious subject(s) appearing to follow students in the vicinity of Washington-Lee High School. At this time, no crime has occurred. The police department is investigating these incidents and would like to identify and speak with the subject(s) involved.

At approximately 6:02 p.m. on January 31, an 11-year-old female was walking in the area of 15th Street N. at N. Stafford Street when she noticed a red minivan keeping pace with her. As she picked up her speed, the vehicle accelerated to match her pace. The juvenile ran to a friend’s house and the subject proceeded to drive off in an unknown direction.

At approximately 6:00 p.m. on February 2, two middle school-aged male juveniles were walking in the area of 13th Street N. at N. Nelson Street when they noticed a newer black sedan appearing to follow them. As they continued walking, the vehicle made a sharp turn and pulled into a driveway, blocking their path. The juveniles ran home and the subject proceeded to drive off in an unknown direction.

The subject involved in both incidences is described as a white male, mid-30’s with a short beard and dark hair.

The Arlington County Police Department is increasing patrols in the area. If anyone has information on the identity of the suspect, please contact the non-emergency number at 703.558.2222.

Real Estate Market Statistics for Arlington, Va December 2017

Leave a comment

 

mktstatsdec2017

Here’s your December real estate market statistics for Arlington County, Va. There is really no bad news in here for Arlington sellers. Total sold volume is up year over year even though total units sold is exactly the same. Average sold price is up 1.32% year over year. Average days on market for Arlington is up, but that is likely a reflection of the number of $1M + homes on the market. These take longer to sell. If you are thinking of selling, note that a big driver for the increase in home prices is the 12% drop in active listings, year over year. It is not hard to figure out that inventory is low, low, low. Buyers are very active now. With interest rates creeping up, buyers are ready to lock in their lower interest rates. Note that there were 29 cash deals but the vast majority of closed transactions entailed some type of financing. If you are thinking about selling and would like more information on your specific zip code and neighborhood please email me at janejensen@comcast.net or call 571-228-5656. I’m happy to get that information to you. It’s a great time to be a home seller in Arlington.
