In a market like we have in 2019 in Arlington, and basically all of Northern Virginia, you see many houses sell immediately for over asking price with no contingencies and multiple offers. And some you see, just sit. What’s the deal? What’s the difference? Why do some houses get all the love and attention? And…

Community Spotlight : Chill Zone Cafe
There’s an alternative to the Lee-Harrison Starbucks. I’m looking at you, north Arlingtonians, there’s other coffee out there.

What is now known as Crystal City will morph into National Landing (along with parts of Alexandria too) and will look something like this model the Washingtonian put out yesterday. I definitely have mixed emotions…
Selling Your Home During the Holidays
Conventional wisdom steers us away from selling a home during November to January. The reasons are people are too too busy and the weather is too bad to think about moving.
