Wondering about mortgage rates for either a purchase or refi? Here is some information that you may find useful. It sounds like there is still a lot of uncertainty, but that things are going to stay in the 6.5% range for the near future.

These are today's mortgage and refinance rates. Mortgage rates hold steady as investors weigh the impact of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China.

If you grew up in , like I did, or even if you just call it home today, this is a fascinating stroll through Northern Virginia history. I remember a lot of these events. I especially remember the opening of the Dulles Toll Road. Up until that point, we only had the Dulles Access Road, which was a favorite place for teenagers to take the family car out and treat it like the Autobahn.

Flash back to NoVA in the 1960s, and see how its once quiet landscape transformed into today's bustling hub of activity.

Thinking it is time to tackle your basement? What are some things that organizers say you should get rid of? I am guilty of excess holiday decorations and things I may use on occasion (as well as a lot of other junk). I also have an excessive number of 'containters' which seem not to be containing anything!

Your basement has so much potential!

Property taxes come with home ownership. When you are buying your first home, the amount withheld is calculated based on the most recent tax year. It is true, unfortunately, that taxes often change annually--and they don't usually go down! Be aware that each year your mortgage amount will likely be modified (if you have an escrow for property taxes) to account for the change in taxes. It will also be updated to account for changes in your home owner's insurance.

When you’re preparing to become a homeowner, there are some things you might not think about as far as the costs of maintaining a home. One of those is property taxes. Property taxes are easy to overlook when you’re calculating your true bottom line. Local governments use property taxes to cover...

As people downsize, there is always great stress about getting rid of belongings--often things that are old or have been inherited. Here is a brief list of some of the things that may be of value (given the condition and authenticity, of course). It is always a good idea to consult a specialist if you think you have an item that may be worth selling, vs. donating.

If you have a closet full of collectibles you're contemplating getting rid of, think again. According to experts, there's a good chance these collectibles will grow in value in the future.

I love to watch what is 'on trend' for different living spaces. Honed marble is a favorite of mine and I think it is a great material for bathrooms--although some will tell you the maintentance is tricky. We've had it in our secondary bathrooms for years and I think it still looks great!

From bold accents to hi-tech touches, the new year will be flush with stylish ideas.

If you, or someone you know, is considering a home purchase, it is important to understand your financing options. Step one for my clients is ALWAYS meeting with a great lender to consider down payment options and also to find out if there are special programs that they may be eligible for with their loan. 20% down is a great goal, but often out of reach for first time buyers. That should not stop you from considering your options.

A common home-buying tenet is that you need to have a 20% down payment. See what real estate experts advise in today's market.

When you hire a REALTOR to help you sell your home, you are hiring them for their advice and experience. So when I saw this article, I was curious what the answer was because I don't spend a lot of time on door color in most cases (HOAs don't allow a ton of flexibilty). I am not sure I agree with the answer, but I am curious what you all think. Would a door of this color make you more likely to want to see a home?

If you want to sell your house quickly, one real estate expert says you should paint your front door this color. Here's why.

Why I Sell Real Estate...

I am an Associate Broker and Company owner of Momentum Realty. Momentum is a privately owned brokerage that has been helping clients buy and sell residential real estate in Northern Virginia since 2005.

I had ‘retired’ from corporate America and was a stay-at-home mom, finding my friends new homes just for fun when I decided to go into the business. That was back in 2002 and I have been selling real estate in Northern Virginia ever since! I provide residential listing and buying services to my clients I have extensive experience in the Luxury Homes market, the First Time Buyer market and specialize in the Fairfax County areas of Reston, Great Falls, Herndon, Vienna, Oakton as well as Eastern Loudoun County, including Potomac Falls, Sterling, Ashburn and Leesbug. I also work in Arlington County and the Falls Church area.
