Virginia Real Estate Blog: February 2010

So with the interest rates very low and the overall price of homes going up, now is the time to buy a home. Have you been on the fence?  Don't forget about the first time home buyer credit AND/OR the newer credit for Move Up buyers! 

For the move-up credit the following applies:  a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified move-up/repeat home buyers (existing home owners) purchasing a principal residence after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010 (or purchased by June 30, 2010 with a binding sales contract signed by April 30, 2010). The National Association of Realtors has some great info on this program.

 

And remember - now that spring is on the horizon, you wont have to shovel snow!  The seller had to do that!  :)

 

 

 

Just hunting around on different websites for some new information to share with you.  I found this video on the Realtor.org website. It is really good - only 3 minutes  - but highlights some totally cool features and technologies that will help you save money (and the earth) when you remodel your kitchen.  Check it out!

I am very pleased to tell you all that I have found a home in the Fredericksburg, VA area!  After my husband accepted a job at Quantico, at the Marine Command and Staff College, we were resigned to leaving our gorgeous Victorian home in Norfolk VA and finding a new home new Quantico.  We looked for homes in Prince William, VA, in Stafford VA. We searched homes in Spotsylvania County, and considered real estate in Manasssas.  All things considered including, homes with an easy commute to Quanitico, brought us to our new home in Stafford County VA. 

My husband takes the VRE - Virginia Railway Express - directly to Quantico and the train station is just a few miles from our home.

WHAT I really Wanted to share however is my NEW REAL ESTATE  HOME!  I have found the perfect spot for me at RE/MAX Cornerstone Realty with an office in Fredericksburg VA! I welcome the opportunity to assist you with your real estate needs and your referrals!
