Wondering what $2M+ buys you in Arlington, Va Real Estate in 2015? Wonder no more

Leave a comment October 10, 2015 realestatehomepro

Here are the home sales in Arlington, Va in YTD that were listed over $2M and sold. One buyer drove a hard bargain and managed to close just under $2M at $1.9+. The highest close price of $3.7M was for a Cathedral View Townhouse overlooking the Washington Golf Course. As well as being very luxurious that home has multiple “age in place” features such as an elevator, roll in shower and more. The communities of Lyon Village and Country Club Hills feature several of the higher priced detached homes while the Turnberry Tower and the Waterview are the Hi-Rise condos that fetch the highest prices. If you would like more detailed information on these properties such as neighborhood, days on market etc. let me know. If you would like to know what is currently on the market for $2M+ (or anything else) drop me an email at janejensen@comcast.net or call me at 571-228-5656

August Real Estate Statistics for Arlington, Va

Leave a comment September 29, 2015 realestatehomepro

August Statistics are out and August 2015 was better all around for sellers then August 2014. Sold volume is up, average price is up, total units sold is up, average list price is up but averages sales price to list dropped slightly (cautionary number for sellers who overprice their homes). Both attached and detached average sales prices are up. Of course each neighborhood is different and if you want to know what your home is really worth it’s always best to contact a real estate professional who can look at comparable sales for your specific type of property and neighborhood.

Congratulations on client’s new home purchase in Falls Church

Leave a comment September 23, 2015 realestatehomepro

Over the years I have helped many State Department employees buy and sell homes in the Northern Virginia area. Dave and Vivianna Nicholas were referred to me by former clients from the State Department. The first time we spoke they were still packing up and getting ready to leave their lovely home India. When State Department people are posted overseas, often, their accomodations are provided, and, they are often spacious. Then, when they get ready to come here we have to do deal with the high real estate prices and the difficult commutes. Fortunately, Dave and Vivianna already had a target market geography in mind. Their daughter had chosen a high school and they preferred to be in a townhome. Finding a home within their budget that met their entire list of criteria wouldn’t be easy. We got very, very close. Their new home is lovely, walking distance to their daughter’s school and well within budget. They didn’t get the garage they were hoping for but they did get 3.5 baths, 4 bedroom, 2 fireplaces and a gorgeous updated kitchen. This home closed on September 14, 2015. Congratulations!

Arlington, Va cited as one of the most livable cities in the US

Leave a comment May 23, 2015 realestatehomepro

A article in the May issue of AARP named the most livable places at 50+. The catagories for determing the most livable places included housing, neighborhood, transportation, environment, health, engagement and opportunity. They ranked the top 10 in Large (500,000+), Medium (100,000-50,000) and Small (25,000-100,000) cities. Arlington ranks in the medium category and came in at #6. The comment for Arlington was that the Bikeometer in Rosslyn averages almost 4500 clicks a day. I know I’ve contributed to that. I guess that falls under almost all the categories except maybe housing…unless you live near the bike path (which I do), so I guess it can include housing too. As of yesterday 101,632 bike passes were logged for this year.

Happy Clients

Here’s why I do this. This is a testimonial from clients who sold their home in Arlington and purchased another home. The settlement was last week. Coordinating back to back settlements has alot of moving pieces and the devil can be in the details. This is where experience counts. Congratulations to Adam and Whitney:

Bid on this Impeccable home in the heart of Washington DC

Leave a comment April 1, 2015 realestatehomepro

Bidding on this terrific historic home in the heart of Washington, DC starts at $1.00 with no reserve. Unlike many historic homes in our area George Washington did not actually sleep here. However, he was involved in the original plans for this home. This home has only had one owner but has been occupied by multiple tenants over the years.

This home boasts 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, and 6 levels in the Residence. There are also 412 doors, 147 windows, 28 fireplaces, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators. It’s hard to find a home this spacious in the heart of the city. Do you love to entertain. The dining room can accomodate up to 140 guests.

Additional amenities include a basketball court:
