There was an awesome storm yesterday.  I was able to grab a few some incredible photos of the clouds with my phone while walking my dog .  After the storm there were 2 beautiful rainbows.  One was incredibly bright.  My phone doesn't do justice but I am sharing it nevertheless.  Sign up to receive web updates!

Go Green and Save Green tip #4 Pay bills online. Eliminating your paper trail by banking and paying bills online does more than save trees. It also helps reduce fuel consumption by the trucks and planes that transport paper checks. If every U.S. home viewed and paid its bills online, the switch would cut solid waste by 1.6 billion tons a year and curb greenhouse-gas emissions by 2.1 million tons a year, according to Javelin Strategy & Research. Worried about security? Don't be. Just ignore e-mails "phishing" for personal data, and monitor all (electronic) statements for any unauthorized debits. Report problems immediately, and your credit won't take the hit. To avoid unnecessary carbon dioxide-emitting car trips to the bank on payday, ask your employer to directly deposit your paycheck....

Wednesday is stat day so here you go... Usually when showing stats I leave out condos because they have a tendency to bring down the accuracy of stats.   So, I wanted to be fair and give those condos their own post.  I have broken down the stats between Ashburn's 2 zip codes.  20147 is Ashburn's north side including neighborhoods like Ashburn Village & Farm, Belmont, etc...  20148 includes the neighborhoods Brambleton, Broadlands, and more.  20147 has more condos available currently built than 20148.  The only 20147 condos still being built are in Belmont (I think they are called The Ridges).   The only ones I can think of still being built in 20148 are in Brambleton by Centex and Beazer.  If would like a list of condos for sale in Ashburn or other cities you can search HERE or I will e...

I posted this last month, but it's such an easy way to raise money for your favorite charity I just had to repost it to help spread the word.... Here's an easy way to raise money for your favorite cause. Just start using http://www.goodsearch.com/ as your search engine and online shopping mall. Every time you search the Internet or make an online purchase at one of their partner merchants, GoodSearch makes a donation to your favorite nonprofit or school and it's powered by Yahoo! so you get great search results! One great Cause I search for is: A Forever Home Rescue Foundation- Chantilly, VA They are an animal rescue organization

If you are a Loudoun local you have heard of the Broadlands.  It's not the fact that the Broadlands has created their own unincorporated name inside of Ashburn.  Nope.   People in the Broadlands have a major agenda currently.  That agenda is getting their own hospital.  I find it humorous when reading the local papers every week with full page ads being ran from the current Loudoun Hospital in Lansdowne, only a little more than a mile down the road, or ads from the Broadlands.  There is a lot of ink being spilt over this hospital.   Truth be told, I don't have too much of an opinion on the issue, except if it means more taxes for Loudoun at this time I can't say I am too excited.  Well, this article has little to do with county battles and more to do with the large community of the BRO...

Ashburn and Leesburg are hosting a summer full of concerts and events this year.  I am not sure who started this outdoor competition but there is no denying that it is anything less than a battle of the communities.  I say, "Let the battle begin while we reap the benefits of a summer full of music and fun!" For the next few weeks I will do my best to outline these events.  Just to let you in on who is involved thus far; Belmont, Broadlands, Brambleton, Lansdowne, Tarara Winery, Leesburg Town Hall and The Courthouse (these guys may have started it all- obviously not a community).  This week lets cover Belmont's- Loudoun Summer Music Fest. Loudoun Summer Music Festival LSMF rocks Northern Virginia with a series of LIVE concerts that entertain over 50,000 adults and children at a series of...

Here is a snap shot of the home sales, days on market, active listings, and pending sales in Loudoun County during April.  I know that it is already May but it takes a while to see the correct picture of all that sold when sales are not always updated on time.  As you can see sales are up, days on market are down, and pending contracts are up.  The only negative that I see besides a lot of listings, which is common this time of year, is that the average sales price is down.  This is a tough stat to judge depending on the types of homes are selling.  Nevertheless it appears that every month for the past few we have seen a around a 20k drop in the average sales price.  VIEW THE STATS HERE   Sign upto receive updates from TheRealEstateBakery!

I know that the media is very convincing that the sky is falling.  Some are you are believing it and are going to hold out no matter what the numbers say.  For those of you who just need a boost of confidence this should do it.  I have outlined 3 of the largest communities in Ashburn 20147.   These numbers do not include condos.  The average sales price means little when you know that I am mixing foreclosure townhomes with large single families.  Nevertheless, look how many homes are under contract!  Ashburn Village has around 42% of their current listings under contract, Ashburn Farm has over 50%, and Belmont Country Club and Land Bay has around 30%!   This is way up from the previous months.  SEE THE STATS HERE>

Many of us have become a little too comfortable with disappointment and bad news this year with all that is going on with politics, the national economy, housing market, and the Redskins loosing to the Seahawks.  Not to play the philosopher but it can be a dangerous thing when you begin to be suspicious of optimism and good things happening.  It is at times hard to believe a person in sales like myself when it comes housing optimism but today I am only ECHOING the article in the Post about the extension of the Dulles Metro Rail.  If you live outside of the Beltway between Tysons Corner and Ashburn this is some the best news heard in a while.  For months now, the 4 decade vision of the Silver Line extension of the Metro that would connect Falls Church to Loudoun County has been at a sta...

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER." It's a phrase used by many, and last week was an important one to be in the know, as Bonds and home loan rates were affected by many big newsmakers and market shakers. Bonds and home loan rates found some improvement in the early part of the week, leading into the Fed's big announcement on Wednesday of another .25% cut to the Fed Funds Rate. Typically, Bonds and home loan rates react poorly to Fed cuts, due to the increase in economic activity that lower Fed rates can cause, which turns into higher inflation. However, the Fed's Policy Statement hinted that the present rate-cutting cycle may be nearing an end. As a result, Bonds and home loan rates reacted favorably to the Fed's action. However, speaking of inflation, the Fed's most favored measure of it - the Core P...

I try to keep it light on Fridays.  This week I wanted to share with you a couple of pictures I was able to grab while out.  I am a personal fan of Ashburn Village.  Its not as fancy as Brambleton and  has a few homes that need some love.  Nevertheless, overall it is beautifully maintained and has some of the best amenities around including 4 lakes. One of the largest lakes in the community is beside the Sports Pavilion.  If you have driven by lately you will notice that they have been staining the small pier and replacing the railings.  Yesterday, when driving home I noticed that not only was the gazebo at the end of the pier missing, it had floated away!     Another great location in Loudoun is Downtown Leesburg.  It has great historical value for the area along with some great mom & ...

SPRING HAS SPRUNG... ...and that means it's time to wash away those winter blues! In fact, according to the Soap and Detergent Association - did you even know there was such a thing? - three-quarters of Americans engage in spring-cleaning. In fact, their surveys indicated that more than 80 percent of people who spring clean agree that it helps them save time throughout the year, and 96 percent of people donate or discard items during their spring-cleaning.    But the advantages can go much further than that. Check out these top ten spring-cleaning activities, compiled by http://www.medicinenet.com/, that can help make your home healthier and safer: Thoroughly dust your home. Also clean any air conditioning and heating filters, ducts, and vents to minimize pollens and other airborne all...
