Deltaville, VA Real Estate News

(Broker - Investors Realty Of Virginia)
A few years ago it was difficult to find even a waterfront cottage under $300,000- but this year we're seeing cottages under $200,000 and houses under $300,000. Interest rates are still low and combined with lower prices and low property taxes, retirement at the river is more affordable than you think.   InvestorsRealtyOfVirginia.com WayneHare.com AForeclosureInRichmond.com AForeclosureInRichmond.com AvoidForeclosureRichmond.com AvoidForeclosureVirginia.com RichmondREAuctions.com RichmondREInvestors.com RichmondVaShortSales.com AHomeInRichmond.com AHomeAtTheRiver.com VirginiaREInvestors.com ChesapeakeBayAndRiversProperties.com AHomeInUrbanna.com AHomeInDeltaville.com

Celebrate the season of Christmas with an old fashioned hayride sponsored by the Deltaville Community Association (DCA). This annual event provides visitors an opportunity to see all the Christmas decorations along Lover's Lane and the beauty of the lights glittering on the water of Jackson Creek. The fun begins with a hayride from the Community Center, located in the center of town, to the town dock where visitors board a typical Chesapeake Bay deadrise, or similar vessel, for a tour of Jackson Creek. After the 30-minute cruise, a return hayride takes folks back to the Community Center for free homemade cookies and hot cider. Santa will be available to receive the children's wish lists at the DCA building . Cruises leave at 5, 6, and 7 pm and an 8 o'clock cruise will be scheduled if th...

Blogging from my warm office with power, I feel very fortunate.  Yesterday and today have made for hazardous weather conditions on the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck of the lower Chesapeake Bay.  Thousands are without power and coastal flooding has occurred in much of the Region.  In Deltaville, VA, the wind has been blowing out of the NE at 30 MPH with gusts up to 40 MPH.  We have had 4-5" of rain mixed with extremely high tides.  Today is expected to bring another couple inches of rainfall with winds 26-28MPH gusting as high as 38 MPH.  The roads going into White Point subdivision and Stove Point are flooded out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1c9aFlbBA0      NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has deployed a new "Smart Buoy" stationed at Stingray Point.  Fo...

What does the Dow hitting 10,000 mean to realtors?  Could this be a positive sign for buyers to gain confidence? Should be an exciting week for real estate.  Would love some feedback concerning how the housing market could respond.

Deltaville received about three inches of snow.  It wasn't much but enough to keep the children out of school for the much anticipated snow day.  There was enough snow for some neighborhood children to build this cute little snowman.  Enough snow to make the treetops glisten.  Picturesque across Sturgeon Creek.  Last year we got our largest snow fall on Easter.  Spring is on the way.               Bonnie L Vest, REALTOR® Long & Foster Realtors P.O.

Living in a small, waterfront, resort town can be a bit boring in the winter months but jumping in the Chesapeake Bay in February is just crazy. It was all in the spirit of a good cause, collecting donations for the Deltaville Volunteer Fire Department, however, I cannot fathom jumping into 40° ± water. My husband, being a professional fire fighter for the City of Newport News , suited up in a dry suit and waded out serving as a rescue diver. I served as a spectator with my donation in hand. I prefer not to participate in any activity that requires a Rescue Squad and Certified Diver on site. I applaud those that participated in the Plunge at Stingray Point as well as the Virginia Beach Polar Plunge the same weekend and many others around the Country. ,                Bonnie L Vest, REA...

The following statistics were taken from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Virginia Department of Housing: From the year 2000 to 2007 (7 years), total home inventory grew at a rate of 1.79% annually while the population grew at a rate of 1.23% annually.  With new home starts outpacing populatin growth, it was simply a matter of time before the "tipping" point, where supply exceeded demand.  That is where we are at today. YTD, 2008, new home starts have dropped 33.4% which has significantly slowed the growth rate of the overall Virginia housing supply.  The significant drop in new home starts has reduced the growth rate of home inventory to a 1.12% annualized rate, while the population growth rate is 1.23% for the year. For the 2008-09 (next year), it is forecast that new home starts will b...
