MARKET NEWS

This just in from our home office: The real estate market in Washington DC is experiencing some notable shifts. Listings have increased with prices being adjusted as the federal workforce changes create uncertainty on multiple levels.

In Northern Virginia, the market remains strong despite these changes, with moderate increases in both market activity and home prices. Fairfax City, Loudoun County, and Fauquier County are seeing a steady demand, with inventory levels gradually increasing.

I don't think this information should surprise anyone, especially the increased demand in those areas west of us. At the same time, I am seeing multiple offers/escalation clauses on almost every listing in Alexandria and was busy over the weekend ratifiying offers for two buyer clients. All this is to say there are opportunities, whether you are interested in selling or buying, and I am happy to answer questions.

On the road...

We took a road trip two weeks ago to visit our oldest grand in his freshman environs at Clemson University in South Carolina. Goodness, what a campus! The northern arm of Lake Hartwell (a man-made reservoir, built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1955 & 1963 and encompassing parts of the Savannah, Tugaloo, and Seneca rivers) borders the campus and offers a beach, a wide array of water sports activity and an amazing outdoor recreation and education center. Said grandson was/is a Sea Scout so the sailing club has become his second home. The main library, pictured below, is magnificent.

We stayed about an hour away in Greer, SC which reminded me so much of Del Ray - lots of local shops, bars, great restaurants, etc. We booked in at The Historic Downtown Loft at Greer Station - parked our car and walked everywhere. For lunch or dinner I highly recommend Select. Don't miss their award winning Strawberry Pandowdy.
