			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TGIF!  That means it&#8217;s time for our Friday Funday Video &amp; Open House Announcements. First, our video. One of the great things about living in Vienna is that you don&#8217;t have to leave home to find something fabulous to do. We have wonderful restaurants, charming shops and top notch music venues. And one of our favorite groups, <a href="http://jamminjava.com/home/events/the-kennedys4">The Kennedys, will be at Jammin Java </a>in Vienna on Saturday night (Feb 4th). So, <strong>listen to our video and IMAGINE</strong>.</p>
<p>Imagine a great dinner at <a href="http://mapleaverestaurant.com/">Maple Avenue Restaurant</a>, a music filled evening at Jammin Java and a stop by the <a href="http://www.amphorabakery.com/">Amphora</a> for dessert &amp; coffee after the show, maybe even a night cap at the <a href="http://maplewoodgrill.com/pianobar.htm">piano bar at Maplewood Grill</a>. Then you just pop home to your new place on Westwood Terrace or Battle Street. And you never had to leave Vienna. AHHHHH!</p>
<p>(Of course, if you&#8217;d rather live in Falls Church - we&#8217;ve got a wonderful home for you there as well! Scroll down for open house information on all three homes.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment--><font size="2" face="Verdana">(</font><em><font size="2" face="Verdana">Personality Is Always A Plus, But It Isn&#8217;t Everything! Statistics May Be Boring, But They Could Save You Time &amp; Money!</font></em><font size="2" face="Verdana">)</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana">You&#8217;re thinking of selling. So how do you know which Realtor to work with? Your boss gave you the name of a Realtor. You met a Realtor you liked at an open house. Your sister-in law just got her license and says she&#8217;d love to help you. And what about the one who sold you your house 5 years ago (what&#8217;s his name again?).</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Selling a home can be a very emotional decision. After all, this is your LIFE we&#8217;re talking about. The place where you created LOTS of memories. AND it&#8217;s your FUTURE we&#8217;re talking about. What happens with the sale of your home affects what options you have moving forward.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana">AND IT&#8217;S LIKELY ONE OF, IF NOT THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL DECISION OF YOUR LIFETIME. So you want to get it right. How do you do that?</font></p>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lovers.jpg" title="lovers.jpg"></a></p>
<p align="center"><font size="2" face="Verdana"><a href="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lovers.jpg" title="lovers.jpg"><img src="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lovers.thumbnail.jpg" alt="lovers.jpg" /></a>                                 <a href="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/shake-hands.JPG" title="shake-hands.JPG"><img src="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/shake-hands.thumbnail.JPG" alt="shake-hands.JPG" /></a></font></p>
<p align="left"><strong><u><font size="2" face="Verdana">1. The Personality Factor</font></u></strong><font size="2" face="Verdana">: You&#8217;re not looking for a new BFF here. (If you don&#8217;t have kids - that&#8217;s &#8220;Best Friend Forever&#8221;!) But you DO want to make sure you &#8220;click&#8221; with the person. After all, this person will be advising you on factors that affect you and your family&#8217;s life to a great degree. So the person needs to understand you and your needs. You need to &#8220;get&#8221; each other and trust each other and be able to speak openly &amp; directly. And so while having a relative or friend in the business may be nice as far as the &#8220;clicking&#8221; part goes, sometimes the &#8220;speaking openly &amp; directly&#8221; part may be an issue. You may not want to tell that person all your personal financial information. And even if you do, you may not want to have the kind of open &amp; direct conversations that are often part of selling your home. Preserving your friendship or family relationship may take precedence over doing business together. Worst case scenario: Something goes wrong. Wouldn&#8217;t you rather fire the Realtor you hired as a business decision versus firing your best friend or sister-in-law?</font></p>
<p align="left"><strong><u><font size="2" face="Verdana">2. The Communication Factor:</font></u></strong><font size="2" face="Verdana"> The most common complaint we hear from people who hire us after they have tried unsuccessfully to sell with another agent, is that &#8220;after the sign went up, we never heard from her again until she called to ask us to reduce the price.&#8221; So when you are looking at Realtors, ask HOW they communicate, WHAT types of information they provide and HOW OFTEN they do so. And make sure that what they do works for you. Your Realtor should have systems in place that provide you with ALL the information you need to make smart decisions.</font></p>
<p align="left"><strong><u><font size="2" face="Verdana">3. The Expertise Factor:</font></u></strong><font size="2" face="Verdana"> Your Realtor should be an expert in real estate AND an expert in your market. Did you know there are more than 1.2 million Realtors in the U.S.? And almost 10,000 Realtors in Northern Virginia? So make sure you have one with experience. The more homes they have sold, the better their skills are likely to be. (We call this the &#8220;Are you really a Realtor or do you just play one on TV&#8221; question.) More experience normally translates to a faster sale and a higher sales price for you!</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana">You also want an expert in YOUR market. So how do you find out how much of an &#8220;expert&#8221; someone is? ASK FOR THE STATISTICS! They may be &#8220;boring&#8221;, but they could save you TIME and MONEY. </font></p>
<p align="center"> <a href="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/graph.jpg" title="graph.jpg"><img src="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/graph.thumbnail.jpg" alt="graph.jpg" /></a>                                   <a href="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/graph-2.PNG" title="graph-2.PNG"><img src="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/graph-2.thumbnail.PNG" alt="graph-2.PNG" /></a></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Here&#8217;s an example:</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Last year in Vienna, The Belt Team sold 58 homes. That is 3 times as many homes as the next best agent. The &#8220;average agent&#8221; in Northern VA did not even sell 1 home in Vienna. Not only did we sell more homes, we sold them 15 days FASTER and for MORE MONEY than average (1.4% more). So in this example, if your mortgage payment is $4,000/month and your home sold for $800,000 - The Belt Team would have saved you $2,000 by selling your home 15 days faster (1/2 of one mortgage payment) plus $11,200 by selling it for a higher percentage of list price than average.</font></p>

<p align="left"><strong><font size="2" face="Verdana">This is why you need to ASK FOR THE STATS (in other words - &#8220;SHOW ME THE MONEY!&#8221;)</font></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment--><font size="2" face="Verdana">Earlier this month, our CEO Terry Belt shared his forecast for the 2012 market. (</font><a href="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/archives/735"><font size="2" face="Verdana">You can read about what&#8217;s in store for Northern Virginia here</font></a><font size="2" face="Verdana">.) But how did we finish 2011 in comparison to 2010? Let&#8217;s take a look at the numbers. Instead of doing an analysis on the market as a whole, let&#8217;s break it down a little. As we know, real estate is local. So we selected 9 sample markets to analyze: Vienna, Oakton, McLean, Great Falls, Reston, Fairfax, Herndon, Falls Church &amp; Arlington. Let&#8217;s see how things shook out:</font></p>
<p align="center"><font size="2" face="Verdana"><a href="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/northern-va-stats-2011-v-2010.jpg" title="Northern Virginia Real Estate Stats from The Belt Team"><img src="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/northern-va-stats-2011-v-2010.jpg" alt="Northern Virginia Real Estate Stats from The Belt Team" /></a></font></p>
<p><u><font size="2" face="Verdana"><strong>So - what do we conclude from all these stats?</strong></font></u></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">In every area listed, sales are down. This is a fact that has been trumpeted throughout the press. &#8220;</font><em><font size="2" face="Verdana">Home Sales Dropping</font></em><font size="2" face="Verdana">&#8221; is the typical Doomsday headline. If you don&#8217;t look at ALL the information and just read the headline, you might conclude that this is a bad thing. But let&#8217;s keep looking.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">What we also see in the statistics above is that in 7 out of 9 areas, the average home price ROSE. In the lower priced areas - we saw the average price rise as much as 7.8% in just one year. It seems the market has not only &#8220;bottomed out&#8221; in these areas, but has turned back up.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">Only 2 areas (McLean &amp; Great Falls) did not see prices rise. However, these 2 areas did see a rise in the average sales price as compared to original list price. This may signal that we are approaching bottom there. The &#8220;luxury&#8221; markets typically trend just a bit behind the more affordable markets. But as the affordable markets have turned, so the luxury markets usually follow.</font></p>
<p><u><font size="2" face="Verdana"><strong>So - now you know what prices are doing. But are we in a Buyer&#8217;s Market or a Seller&#8217;s Market?</strong></font></u></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">In this case, let&#8217;s take a look at an overall analysis of the DC Region. If we compare the inventory level at the end of December 2011 to December 2010, here&#8217;s what we find:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font size="2" face="Verdana">Single Family Home Inventory: DOWN 18.5%</font></li>
<li><font size="2" face="Verdana">Townhome Inventory: DOWN 30%</font></li>
<li><font size="2" face="Verdana">Condominium Inventory: DOWN 29.1%</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">This puts our region in general at a 5-6 month supply of homes - trypically considered neither a Buyer&#8217;s or Seller&#8217;s Market - but a Balanced Market. However, it&#8217;s important to note that there are places in Northern Virginia where housing supply is closer to 3-4 months and this puts those markets closer to a Seller&#8217;s Market. So if you&#8217;re reading this and thinking about buying or selling, call us at (703-242-3975). We&#8217;ll do a much more detailed analysis specific to your city, home type, price range, school district, etc.</font></p>

<p><strong>It was “<em>Friday the 13th</em>” every day for a while</strong> as literally every local market in the country experienced falling sales and homes values as buyers froze and the banking, mortgage, building, and residential brokerage industries came to a virtual standstill.</p>
<p><strong>In Northern Virginia, depending on location and price range, values dropped between 25-50 percent from peak</strong>, new home construction slowed drastically, some national builders left our market or went out of business, and many local small builders went bankrupt or could not obtain construction financing.  The number of real estate agents and mortgage brokers began to shrink.  Consumer confidence was at all-time lows.  And in 2009, the Northern Virginia area lost jobs for the first time since 1990-1992.</p>
<p><strong>It’s good to learn from the past and not to live in it.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/learning.JPG" title="learning.JPG"><img src="http://www.thebeltteam.com/northern-virginia-real-estate/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/learning.JPG" alt="learning.JPG" style="width: 378px; height: 175px" height="398" width="405" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>At the end of 2011 and headed in to 2012, local headlines read differently.</strong>  Reminding ourselves that residential real estate is local, local, local and not a national market,<strong> our region has performed fantasticly compared to most every other market in the USA.  Vienna in particular was ranked the #5 best housing market in the USA according to a recently released study by Bloomberg/BusinessWeek with median home values increasing almost 13% in 2011.  Yes, 13%, that is not a “typo”!</strong>  While not ranked in the report, many of the other local adjacent communities are doing comparatively well, especially as you get closer to Washington, DC.  <strong>Thanks to a healthy local economy and extremely affordable interest rates for mortgages, we are experiencing the most stable market since the frenzied run up of 2004-2007.</strong></p>

<p>According to the GMU Center for Regional Analysis, <strong>Northern Virginia’s unemployment rate is at 4.5%, which is about one half the national rate</strong>. A significant number of new jobs were added in 2011 and many of those were filled with people relocating to our area. <strong>The market theme most weeks and almost every month in 2011 was a decrease in the inventory of homes</strong> compared to the week/month before and year over year.  The latest numbers show that as of December 12, 2011 the Washington, DC region had 48,934 versus 64,266 units during the same week of 2010.  That’s a whopping 23.9% decrease.  The months’ supply of homes is now 6.1 compared to almost 8 months a year ago. Locally the month’s supply is between 2-6 months depending on price range, home style and type. A 5-6 month supply of homes is considered to be a balanced market between buyers and sellers.</p>

<p><strong>The data also shows that total sales volume for 2011 is less than 2010 and if you read news headlines highlighting this it can be misleading.  The truth is</strong> that sales are off because there are fewer new listings, especially attractive homes that people want to buy. The result is a pressure on prices to increase, which we saw in 2011.  Some headlines will also state the fact that in most areas the time to sell a home has increased and the percentage of list price is decreasing.  <strong>Again, the uneducated buyer or seller that relies on headlines and sound bytes might think that it is a buyer’s market.  The truth is that</strong> homes that are prepared properly, show well and are priced to what the market comparables indicate value is are selling quickly in weeks not months and in many cases with more than one offer.</p>
<p><strong>So what is in store for 2012?</strong></p>

<p>The local real estate market is not as volatile as the stock market and residential real estate markets move at a much slower pace.  While we always experience temporary fluctuations in local housing activity that affect the psychology of buyers and sellers due to national news events like the recent credit rating downgrade by Standard &amp; Poor’s or 911 or local incidents like the sniper attacks, weather, earthquakes, etc; the local  trends we see in housing are expected to sustain in the new year.  <strong>As long as mortgage rates remain at or near historical lows, affordability at all time highs and our local economy is healthy, expect 2012 to look very similar to 2011.</strong></p>
<p>This is what the final report from The GMU Center for Regional Analysis titled “<em>Housing the Regions Future Workforce.  Policy Challenges for Local Jurisdictions</em>” stated in the summary of key research findings in the 4th quarter of 2011:</p>
<p>“<em>Over the next 20 years, the Washington DC metropolitan area will add more than a million net new jobs. At the same time, the region will need 1.8 million replacement workers to fill jobs vacated by retirees and others. The ability to absorb these new workers into the region and to ensure robust regional economic growth depends critically on providing a sufficient amount of housing of the right types and prices and in the right places.” “If each jurisdiction provided enough housing to accommodate all of its future workers, the Washington DC region needs to add 731,457 net new housing units between 2010 and 2030.”</em></p>
<p><strong>If the research and forecast for population and job growth is even remotely accurate, the future for housing in our area is sound.  Happy selling and buying in the new year to come!</strong></p>
