A great day in Alexandria with Ruth, connecting with fellow agents, discussing the Loudoun County market, and touring a couple of beautiful homes during the broker’s open. We had some great conversations with our colleagues and enjoyed the opportunity to see what’s currently on the market!

Special thanks to Evan Lacopo for the opportunity, and to our fellow agents for welcoming us into their beautiful listings:

• Frances Backus — 6418 Cygnet Drive, Alexandria, VA 22307
• Miriam Miller — 2203 Pennsylvania Blvd, Alexandria, VA 22308

Spooky season is here, and the DMV has plenty of history to go along with it. 👻

From the streets of Georgetown and Old Town Alexandria to historic Frederick, Leesburg, and Harpers Ferry, there are some great ghost tours around the area if you’re looking for something a little different to do this fall.

Some lean more into local history and legends, while others take you through graveyards and reportedly haunted sites after dark.

We rounded up a few worth checking out. Save this one for your fall plans and let us know which tour you’d pick! 🎃

I get this question a lot: “How do I buy my next home when I need the proceeds from my current home to do it?”

There are a lot of moving pieces when you’re selling and buying at the same time. What will your current home likely sell for? What are you looking to buy? Do you sell first? Can the closings line up? Would a rent-back help? And what’s the backup plan if the timing isn’t perfect?

This is why I always recommend figuring all of this out before you’re ready to make a move.

Once we know what your home is worth and you’ve talked with a lender about what the next purchase looks like, we can start putting the pieces together.

It may sound complicated, but it’s something we help people navigate all the time.

If you’re thinking about selling and buying and aren’t sure how the timing would work, reach out. We can talk through your options and go from there!

The Metro DC market has lost some momentum, but the latest numbers tell a more nuanced story.

Contract activity fell 14% compared with the same week last year, continuing the slowdown we’ve seen since early August. But homes aren’t necessarily becoming harder to sell—the regional average days on market actually improved from 44 days to 42, with four of six jurisdictions seeing homes go under contract faster than last year.

Year-to-date, the region is still just 1% behind 2025.

The takeaway? It’s a slower market, not a stopped market. For sellers, pricing and presentation matter. For buyers, less competition may create new opportunities.

Buying new construction can be exciting, but I always remind buyers that there are a lot more decisions involved than simply choosing a floor plan.

Which lot makes the most sense? Which upgrades are worth the added cost? What can still be customized? And how far along is the home in the construction process?

Timing matters, too. The earlier you are in the construction process, the more opportunities you may have to make certain changes. Once construction is further along, those options can become much more limited.

And one thing I think is especially important to remember: the sales representative at the builder’s office represents the builder.

When I represent you, my job is to look out for your interests, helping you evaluate lots and upgrades, keep track of important deadlines, communicate with the sales office and navigate the process from contract to completion.

If new construction is on your radar, reach out before you head to the sales office! I would be happy to help you understand the process and your options.
