I try to provide regular updates on the current real estate market to my clients. I also provide a Long and Foster Market Minute Report on Reston as a PDF file below. Just click on the ICON below for the latest monthly Reports.
The market has suffered from the Covid lock-down but properties are still selling at or above last years prices in Reston. At the same time, inventory is down from a year ago. We are expecting a lot of homes to come on the market in the spring and expect inventories to increase as more and more "baby boomers" retire. Homes are selling quickly and days on market are down due to low inventory. Interest rates were predicted to increase this year but have stayed low currently at about 2.875%. It is unclear what the Fed is planning in 2021. As inventories increase, Buyers have more options and leverage, when negotiating on price but right now they are low. Homes have recently been selling near asking prices.
As some of you know, I completed Realtor® training to become an Eco-Broker and have a GREEN designation. In 2015, I completed a Master's degree with the Virginia Tech Natural Resources Department offered by the Center for Leadership in Global Sustainability (CLiGS). I was invited into the program to evaluate environmental initiatives in the real estate industry. I have posted one of the studies I conducted for CLiGS on this website, if you are interested in making environmental upgrades to your home.
If you are considering selling your home, I would be glad to provide you a detailed analysis of the current marketability of your home at no charge. As a long time Reston homeowner, I know the Northern Virginia market. I live in North Reston and I am familiar with the builder models.
If you have an unfinished basement, I can advise you about alternatives to get a building permit to finish it by adding an exit window or door. I can also recommend upgrades that will appeal to today’s buyers. Whether you are considering a move up or downsizing, I can help. My office is in North Reston, and you can always reach me on my mobile number. I can help you sell your home and find the right new home for your current life style.
In this real estate market, you need a full time professional Realtor® to buy or sell a home. Let me know if I can help you, or any of your family or friends, with your Real Estate needs.
