We're still in a good market in Herndon. The forgiving part is what's changed.

Here are 5 things I'd tell my sellers this week across 20170, 20171, and the rest of Northern Virginia.

1. Well-prepared, well-priced homes are still winning.

46.5% of homes in 20170 sold above list price. Strong offers are still on the table when the condition and the price are right.

2. The first price matters more than the eventual price.

29.2% of listings in 20171 took a price reduction. Once a home sits, buyers start negotiating against the days on market instead of the value.

3. Detached homes are still relatively scarce.

Latest NVAR inventory: condos +41.1%, attached +33.0%, detached -2.5%. Supply is expanding everywhere except the detached homes most Herndon sellers own.

4. Downsizers may have the best position on both sides right now.

Your detached Herndon home is supply-constrained, while the condo and townhome inventory you'd move into has opened up. That's a rare window to sell into scarcity and buy into options.

5. Don't chase September downward.

If your home has been on market 2 to 3 weeks without meaningful activity, that's the moment for a real conversation about price, condition, and competition.

Herndon's food scene just leveled up and I need to make sure my neighbors know about it. 🍩🍜

Elden Street has been on a serious run lately.

Beignets and Brew just opened at 348 Elden Street, the first Northern Virginia location for this beloved Southeastern beignet-and-coffee brand, and people are already lining up.

Panda Express just completed a full renovation and reopened at 598 Elden Street earlier this month.

Super Kyuramen at Arrowbrook Centre is now open, ramen by day, full izakaya experience by night, with those honeycomb private booths you've seen all over social media.

And if that wasn't enough, Huey Magoo's Chicken Tenders, a huge Southern brand, just signed a lease at Arrowbrook and is targeting a fall opening. First Virginia location. Right here in Herndon.

I've lived here since 2002, and I love watching this town grow into something really special. The restaurants are better. The energy is different. And for anyone who's been on the fence about moving here, this is your sign. 😄

Drop your favorite new Herndon restaurant in the comments, I want to know where you've been lately. 👇

NatureFest is back at Runnymede Park on September 27th from 1–5pm, and it's one of my favorite things about living here.

Free admission. No tickets. Just show up to one of the most beautiful parks in Northern Virginia and spend an afternoon exploring everything that makes this community special: interactive nature stations, Bird Bingo, the Web of Life game, nature exhibits, and more.

I've lived in Herndon since 2002. I have three kids who grew up going to events exactly like this one. And after 24 years of calling this town home, I still get excited when fall rolls around and the community starts gathering again.

This is what Herndon actually is. A real town where people show up for each other and for the community they've built together. A great location on the map and a strong real estate market too, sure 😄, but the thing that makes it home is days like this one.

Two Herndon kitchens. Same square footage, same builder, same year. One sold $23,000 higher.

The winner? Dark gray cabinets with brushed gold hardware. The other was classic white with polished chrome pulls.

I've walked hundreds of buyers through kitchens in Herndon, Reston, and Ashburn over the past few years, and here's what I keep seeing: the finish that photographs best online isn't always the finish that closes the deal in person. Dark cabinets are having a moment on Zillow scroll, but white cabinets still win with the widest pool of buyers when the light is wrong or the space is tight.

So the real question isn't which one is trendier. It's which one fits your kitchen, your light, and your timeline to sell.

If you're planning to list in the next 12-18 months, the answer changes. If you're staying five-plus years, it changes again.

So I'm curious. Dark gray with gold hardware, or crisp white with clean lines. Which kitchen wins for you? Drop your pick in the comments, I read every one.

And if you're weighing a renovation before selling in Herndon or anywhere in Northern Virginia, send me a message before you pick up a paint brush. I've watched sellers spend $18,000 on the wrong finish and get none of it back at closing. A 20-minute conversation can save you that.

Just Listed for rent in Ashburn: 43860 Artsmith Terrace, 20147 📍

1.7 miles from the Silver Line Metro. For anyone weighing a move along Northern Virginia's commuter corridor, that number carries real weight.

3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths across 2 levels. Offered at $3,100/month.

Here's why this property works for the people I keep hearing from:

➡ Renters who want a genuine home along the Dulles Tech Corridor without buying at today's rates.

➡ Investors looking at Ashburn's Metro proximity as the factor that keeps a property leased year after year.

The commute is central here. Being under two miles from the Silver Line reshapes your morning routine, and it shapes how quickly a home like this leases.

If you're relocating to the Ashburn area, or you own nearby and want to talk through what Metro-close rentals are pulling right now, send me a message. I'll walk you through what I'm seeing on your street. 🔑

Six months after closing, a buyer called me from her Herndon kitchen almost in tears.

She'd used a corporate relocation agent when her company moved her from Dallas. Streamlined process, national network, everything handled. She bought in a neighborhood that looked great on paper.

Then reality set in. Her "20-minute commute to Tysons" was 60 minutes on the Toll Road at 7:45am. The elementary school she thought her kids were zoned for? Wrong side of Elden Street. And the cul-de-sac she loved sits in a pocket that hasn't kept pace with the rest of 20170 on resale.

Here's what most out-of-state buyers don't realize about the two agent paths into Northern Virginia:

A relocation agent delivers a corporate network, employer coordination, and a streamlined checklist. If your company is covering costs and you need the paperwork side handled cleanly, that structure is genuinely useful.

A local agent delivers the stuff that doesn't show up on paper. Which side of Herndon Parkway actually feeds Hutchison versus Dranesville. Why homes near the W&OD Trail hold value differently than ones a quarter-mile off it. Where the Silver Line commute math actually pencils out and where it falls apart at rush hour.

Neither is wrong. The right fit depends on what you're optimizing for and how much local context you're starting with.

The buyers who get burned are the ones who assume the two roles are interchangeable. They aren't.

If you're relocating to Herndon, Ashburn, or anywhere across Northern Virginia in the next few months, send me a message before you're under contract. I'm happy to work alongside a relocation agent your employer assigned, or walk you through the neighborhoods directly. Either way, you'll have someone in your corner who actually knows the streets.

I've packed up a household and moved across the country more than once as a military spouse. Some of those houses felt like home by week two. Others never did, and it wasn't the paint colors that made the difference.

After landing in Herndon in 2002 and helping hundreds of families relocate here since, I keep coming back to the same three things buyers skip when they're in a hurry:

Your commute shapes your life more than your floor plan. Drive the route at 7am on a Tuesday before you fall for the kitchen.

The neighborhood outlasts the house. You can renovate a bathroom. You cannot renovate Elden Street, the walk to the W&OD, or who waves at you from the porch next door.

Flexibility is worth paying for. Jobs shift, families grow, parents move in. The homes that felt right five years later were the ones with a room we didn't know we'd need yet.

The buyers who feel most settled after a move are the ones who thought past the listing photos.

If you're relocating to Herndon or somewhere else in Northern Virginia in the next 6-12 months, send me a message. I've done this move myself, and I'd love to help you think through it before you're standing in an empty living room hoping you got it right.

A buyer told us last year she wanted "more space and a slower pace." She ended up in Loudoun. Her colleague wanted the exact same thing and ended up in Fairfax. Both were right.

That's the piece most NoVA buyers miss when they're stuck comparing the two counties on a spreadsheet. Loudoun and Fairfax aren't competing versions of the same place. They're genuinely different lifestyles, and the choice isn't about which is better. It's about which one actually matches how you want to live.

Loudoun runs a property tax rate of $0.805 per $100 of assessed value, which is meaningfully lower than what you'll pay one county east. Add in w**e country weekends, Leesburg's 1758 historic core, and the kind of quiet that comes with more land between houses, and you're looking at a slower, more spread-out version of Northern Virginia. Great if you want acreage, a porch, and a Saturday that ends at Stone Tower.

Fairfax is the opposite trade. Silver Line access from Herndon and Reston, a tighter commute radius into DC and Tysons, and established neighborhoods where the trees are 40 years old and the school pyramids are already proven. You give up some square footage and pay a bit more in taxes, but you get walkability, transit, and a shorter drive to almost everything.

The buyer who chose Loudoun works from home four days a week and wanted room for a dog and a garden. Her colleague commutes into Tysons three days and wanted to be on the Silver Line. Same brief, different lives, two right answers.

If you've been going back and forth between the two and can't figure out why nothing feels quite right, that's usually the reason. You're comparing houses when you should be comparing weeks. What does a Tuesday look like? A Saturday? Where are you actually spending your time?

Send me a message if you want to talk it through. After nearly 20 years working both counties, I can help you narrow it down to the streets and neighborhoods that fit the life you're actually building.

08/28/2026

She sat across from me twelve months ago and said, "I don't know anything about investing in real estate. I just know I want to own something."

Yesterday she signed the closing papers on her first investment property in Northern Virginia.

The look on her face when the keys hit her palm is the reason I do this work. Not excitement, not fireworks — just a quiet exhale. The kind that comes when something you weren't sure you could pull off actually lands.

We spent a full year before that closing table. Running numbers on rentals across Herndon and Chantilly. Walking properties that looked great on paper and didn't pencil out in person. Passing on two homes that felt close but weren't the right first move. She asked every question. She trusted the process even when the process meant waiting.

The truth is, first-time investors don't need a hot tip or an urgent push. They need someone willing to slow down, teach the math, and tell them when a deal isn't the one. The asset in her name today is the payoff for doing it the un-flashy way.

If you've been quietly wondering whether an investment property could be part of your next chapter, send me a message. We can start with a conversation, no pressure, no pitch. Just the numbers, the neighborhoods, and an honest read on where you actually stand.

Nearly 8 acres. No HOA. Room for a pool, ATV trails through the woods, and a childhood worth remembering.

5119 Old Auburn Road sits on roughly 8 acres on the DC side of Warrenton, where the trees are yours, and the rules are your own. This is the kind of property where kids grow up outside, where the ATVs have somewhere to go, and where a summer afternoon means the backyard, not the calendar.

The land is the story here. But the house holds up its end.

Inside, a soaring great room opens to floor-to-ceiling windows that pull the outdoors in. Modern farmhouse design across three levels, including a finished walkout lower level with a bar, rec room, and full bath built for the way families actually gather.

🏡 5119 Old Auburn Road, Warrenton, VA 20187
🛏 6 bed / 6.5 bath
📐 8,083 sq ft on ~8 acres
💲 $1,650,000

You're minutes from Old Town Warrenton and close to Route 29 and I-66, so the space and freedom don't come at the cost of the commute. This is Northern Virginia room to breathe without giving up the drive.

If you or someone in your network is looking for acreage, an outdoor lifestyle, and a home built for a growing family, send me a message, and I'd love to walk you through it. 🔑
