This is my first post on my blog. My plan is to update it every couple of days. Be patient until I get in the habit.
I will include information about what is going on in various areas of Arlington. I help buyers and sellers of real estate in the Arlington, Virginia area and the surrounding Northern Virginia suburbs. My hope is to provide information that is useful to people who live in this area or are thinking of moving here.
My website, www.tedkramer.com has lots of stuff you can review right now, including pre-set searches for either single family houses, townhouses/duplexes and condos in areas that are within 1 mile of each Metro stop in Arlington.
Here is some positive news on the real estate front. Yesterday, the National Association of Realtors reported that pending home sales in February 2010 by 8.2% from January. This is 17.3% above a year ago. This may be the result of the extension of the first time home buyer credit of $8,000 and the exising homebuyer credit of $6,500. To get these credits, buyers have to have a ratifiec contract no later than April 30, 2010 and they must close on the purchase no later than June 30, 2010.
