Thanks to our friends , we can see clearly how buyer behavior shifts from spring to summer. The spring is (slightly) more inventory, more buyers. The summer is less inventory, fewer buyers. In May, which reflects contracts agreed to in April, 36% of buyers waived their finance contingency but only 24% did by July. The same pattern is true for home inspection waivers which went from 31% in May to 20% in July. 50% of buyers waived appraisal contingencies in May compared to 41% in July. If you want less competition and more protections, the summer could be the right time for you to buy! , , ,

Buying from overseas, no less sight unseen, is not for the faint of heart. I take seriously the responsibility of being the eyes, ears and nose for my clients who are willing to do just that.

So, when I help first time homebuyer clients navigate a 12-hour time difference (and thousands of miles) to arrive at the perfect destination for them, it feels like a true accomplishment! As does this 5-star review.

Hooray!!🎉

If you’ve ever wondered, why River Place was so comparatively affordable to buy into, here’s the answer.

2052 will be here before we know it!

River Place in Rosslyn began as Arlington Towers in 1955: the story of its 99-year ground lease, the 2052 deadline, and the diplomats trained in its garage.
