5 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW | FALL HOME BUYING While Spring is traditionally the best time of year to buy a home, I think we can all agree that "tradition" is not our new normal. The last two years have been devastating times for many. The future holds few certainties. The Fall real estate market may turn out to be quite busy as more and more homes are ready to sell. It's a great time for buyers to take advantage and shop around. Here are some facts to keep in mind if you need to buy a home this fall. 1. More Choices of homes for sale 2. Less Competition with other buyers 3. Crunch Time as the year ends 4. Better value as home appreciation is slowing 5. Still incredibly low mortgage rates Read full blog article: https://homeestaterealty.com/lifestyle/blog/need-to-buy-a-home-this-fall/ 00:00:00 Introduction to video 00:00:12 More Choices 00:00:33 Less Competition 00:00:54 Crunch Time 00:01:21 Better home values 00:01:56 Low mortgage interest rates FOR THE LATEST: SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL L E T ‘ S C O N N E C T Denise Fuller Denise@HomeEstateRealty.com (703) 881-6947 I'm always happy to answer questions and get honest feedback.

WHAT AGENTS AND STATISTICS ARE SAYING | LEARN MORE MARKET UPDATE | OCTOBER 2021 🙏 BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE 🙏 Home sales in Northern Virginia continue to fall month over month. While inventory levels remain low and favor sellers, this overall slow down is causing some homeowners concern. The numbers do show that the housing market is giving way to a more balanced market. But after looking at 5 year trends, it appears that things may just be normalizing after a jolt to the market during the COVID pandemic. So where is this housing market heading? This video looks at the statistics, what the numbers mean, what the agents are reporting, and what the future looks like. All this makes up the market update for October 2021. Note we are using sales figures from the end of September from MarketStats from Showing Time. STATISTICS Sales Volume - The sales volume of homes sold in Northern Virginia in September 2021 was over $2.3 billion. This is down just a bit compared to last year’s sales volume of $2.4 billion and also down compared to last month’s sales volume of $2.7 billion. 5 Year Comparisons - Home prices keep rising in Northern Virginia. The chart below illustrates how home prices keep going up over the last 5 years. While an average home cost under $500,000 in October 2016, they are worth well over $120,000 more today. It also appears that the housing market is following more normal patterns as over the past 5 years. Most homes sale occur during the summer with volume beginning to fall during this time of year. Still, even with the declines, the number of homes sold in September (4,774 homes sold) is still surpassing the 5-year average of 4,448 homes sold. WHAT AGENTS ARE SEEING Home sales appear to contrast depending on the area the home is being sold and the condition of the home. Some agents report few days on market, multiple offers and over asking price while others report sitting on the market over 3 weeks, having to negotiate home inspections and price, sometimes offering closing costs to buyers. Often, homes in the best condition are able to take advantage of the lack of inventory. It makes us wonder where this real estate market heading? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? The data suggest the market is still outperforming the previous 5 year averages and remains a seller’s market with home appreciation still solid in Northern Virginia. It is losing ground from previous months in terms of average sales price, days on market, and number of homes sold. But it appears that this is more indicative of the trends for this time of year. In terms of month’s supply, it resembles more pre-pandemic availability. This “return to normal” in terms of month’s supply is great news for the Northern Virginia region. Sellers can still take advantage of low inventory while buyers have a much better chance of getting offers accepted. Additionally, more homes are coming on the market each week and it is expected to be a busy fall season. BOTTOM LINE: Where is the real estate market heading? It remains a seller’s market and more homes continue to come on the market. With mortgage rates still low, buyers can continue to take advantage of more homes coming on the market and a little less competition.

COMPANIES THAT INSPIRE In the first of "Most Inspiring Companies" Series, I interviewed Blanka Hrabe, Founder, Owner, and CEO of Berushka's Cleaning Services. It's an amazing story of one woman who went from cleaning homes on her own to now owning her own company, employing 15 mothers, and utilizing a fleet of lady bug cars to boot. She is truly an exemplary example of what is possible in America and one of the most inspiring entrepreneurs. Originally from the Czech Republic, Blanka (formerly Prochazkova) came to the United States at the age of 16 with one suitcase and $300 in her pocket. After her contact did not pick her up at the airport and not having enough money for a return-trip ticket home, Blanka began a journey in search of the American Dream. Through many trials and challenges, Blanka's determination and strong work ethic carried her through dark times. Now, her company is one of the most successful cleaning companies in Northern Virginia. She employs 15 mothers and runs her business to help her employees become more independent and career-minded and also provided exemplary service to her customers. In this interview, Blanka talks about being an immigrant, a single-mother, and having tragic loss. Still with inspiration, she is living the American dream and helping others as well.

testimonial imageWorking with Denise was one of the best decisions I ever made. She was very thorough with the process of buying a home. I was a first timer buyer and I was very nervous but she made everything very simple and easy. She drove me around the town and we saw over 15 houses and she wasn’t happy until I was happy. My family and I came first and our needs and wants in looking for a home. So grateful for her expertise in real estate. I can highly recommend Denise for a wonderful home-buying experience.
