Dr. Allie Lonneman

Dr. Allie Lonneman is an award-winning pediatric dentist and founder of Arlington Tongue Tie Center, Arlington’s only practice solely dedicated to the treatment of tongue-ties and lip-ties in infants and children.

Dr. Allie prides herself on having a conservative and collaborative approach when it comes to treating tongue-ties. She believes in taking the time to confirm a true symptomatic functional oral restriction is present and only proceeding with a release when traditional therapies, like those provided by a Lactation Consultant or Myofunctional Therapist, do not result in the improvement of symptoms or function.

Dr. Allie feels that too many providers are rushing to perform tongue-tie release procedures, which results in the misdiagnosis and overtreatment of tongue-ties.

When asked about opening Arlington Tongue Tie Center, she said:

“My goal of opening this practice was to provide parents a safe space where they can feel empowered to make the best decision possible for their child. I start with a comprehensive review of symptoms, where parents are educated on oral restrictions, gaining insight about tongue-ties and lip-ties and how they can affect nursing, speaking, breathing, sleeping and eating. Following an examination and functional assessment, parents receive a recommendation that they can trust, without the fear of being sold an unnecessary procedure.”

As a laser frenectomy specialist, Dr. Allie has successfully treated hundreds of babies with oral restrictions (tongue-ties and lip-ties). Aside from being the most experienced release provider in Arlington, she is the only pediatric dentist in Northern Virginia that has achieved certification through the American Board of Laser Surgery. Dr. Allie uses a state-of-the-art CO2 Light Scalpel laser for a precise and gentle frenectomy procedure.

At Arlington Tongue Tie Center, parents should feel confident their infants and children are receiving the highest standard of care, not just in Arlington but in all of Northern Virginia.

Arlington Tongue Tie Center is located inside its partner company, VK Pediatric Dentistry, at 5001 Langston Blvd. You can schedule an appointment online or call 703-457-1133. Visit their website for more information.

Question: How did the D.C. area market perform last year?

Answer: Most of the D.C. area housing market put forth a strong performance in 2024, which meant good times for sellers and harder time for buyers. One of the few exceptions was the Washington, D.C. condo market, which saw lower demand, increasing inventory, and downward pricing pressure.

D.C. Area Appreciation Almost Double National Appreciation

The average sold price of homes in the Greater D.C. Area increased by 6.7% in 2024, compared to the National average of 3.8% (lower by some sources), led by another year of strong price growth of detached single-family homes.

Over the past ten years, homes in the Greater D.C. Area have appreciated by an average of 4.6% with the last annual decrease coming in 2009.

How Much Did Homes Appreciate By The Year

Historically Low Numbers of Homes Traded Hands

Fewer homes have traded hands in the past two years than any other 24-month period in the last thirty years, despite the population and housing supply increasing significantly during that period. The number of homes sold in 2023 and 2024 are 24% and 22% lower than the ten-year average from 2013-2022.

Near the medieval city of Carcassonne in southwest France lies a wine region that breaks traditional boundaries.

Cabardès, influenced by both Mediterranean sunshine and Atlantic winds, stands as the only French wine appellation that requires winemakers to blend both Bordeaux and Rhône grape varieties in their wines.

This distinctive requirement produces wines that capture the elegance of Bordeaux and the generous fruit character of the Rhône Valley. One notable producer, Château Jouclary, has mastered this balance in their “Tradition” Rouge, a wine that demonstrates the unique potential of this under-the-radar region.

The 2021 vintage combines 30% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc with equal parts Syrah and Grenache, aged in concrete vats to preserve freshness and varietal character. The result is a deep ruby-colored wine offering complex aromas of blackberries and cherry, complemented by subtle notes of violets, herbs, and cocoa. The palate showcases the harmony between Bordeaux’s structural elements and the Rhône’s fruit-forward nature, with elegant tannins supporting layers of black and blue fruit.

While Cabardès remains relatively unknown compared to its famous neighbors, the region’s unique terroir and blending requirements are attracting increased attention from wine enthusiasts seeking new discoveries. Château Jouclary’s “Tradition” Rouge, priced under $20, exemplifies the exceptional value often found in France’s lesser-known appellations.

The wine is available now at Arrowine, where visitors can also explore other selections during weekend tastings!

Question: What changes are you seeing in homeowners insurance practices around here?

Answer:

Trouble for Insurers, Trouble for Homeowners Everywhere

An increase in insurance claims resulting from natural disasters and sharp increases in the cost of servicing the claims (more expensive labor and materials) is causing broad and significant ripple effects across the insurance industry that touches homeowners across the country. Dropped or denied coverage are becoming more common over issues that never would have been a concern just a few years ago.

Homeowners insurance is a requirement for anybody getting a mortgage to purchase a home so the risk of denied or significantly higher coverage is creeping into the real estate industry as a transactional risk that didn’t previously exist. One step I’ve started taking before submitting offers for clients is gathering a history of any insurance claims on a property over the past seven years that could affect a future owner’s ability to get coverage or make that coverage more expensive.

Advice from Guest Contributer, Seth Kutner of ACO Insurance

I asked Seth Kutner of ACO Insurance, who I use personally and recommend to my clients (and to you), to provide an explanation of the most significant changes he’s seeing in homeowners insurance practices in the DMV. If you have additional questions or would like to discuss your insurance policies with Seth, you can reach him at [email protected] or (703) 732-5053.

Take it away Seth…

Over the past year, homeowners have felt increasing frustration with their homeowner’s insurance. Insurance carriers have significantly tightened their underwriting guidelines in an effort to reduce losses, which has made it harder for many people to find coverage. Two key issues are causing the most headaches: the number of claims filed and the age of roofs.

Avoid Unnecessary Calls to the Claims Department

What most people don’t realize is that simply calling the claims department — even if you’re just asking a question — results in a “$0 claim” being logged. While you may not file an actual claim, this record can still impact your eligibility for coverage.

To avoid this, it’s always best to reach out to your insurance agent before you make a call to the insurance company. They can help you navigate the situation, offering guidance on whether it’s worth filing a claim, and ultimately protecting you from the potential negative consequences of a recorded claim that doesn’t go through.

Consider Increasing your Deductible, Avoid Small Claims

Another trend we’re seeing is that carriers are scrutinizing the number of claims more than ever before. Given this, it may be wise to consider increasing your deductible. It’s often not worth filing small claims, those around $1,000, so raising your deductible could help save you money on your premium in the long run and discourage you from filing claims that could be costly in the long run.

Roof Age, Condition Highly Scrutinized

Roof age is becoming a significant obstacle to coverage in the DMV. While most roofs last between 30 and 40 years, carriers are becoming increasingly reluctant to insure homes with roofs older than 20 years (less in some areas), mainly due to the rising frequency of storm-related damage and the lack of proper roof maintenance. This is one of the biggest pain points for insurers today, and it’s causing many homeowners to face challenges when shopping for coverage.

In today’s market, being proactive about your insurance strategy is more important than ever. By working closely with your insurance agent and considering adjustments like higher deductibles, you can protect yourself from potential surprises and keep your coverage secure.

Eli’s Closing Thoughts

In 2019, I wrote this article (15 minutes not enough for homeowners insurance) about the importance of working with a real person/professional on your insurance policy rather than using a quick online or call center process. That rings true now more than ever. What many people don’t realize is that the quick online/call center insurance approach isn’t getting you a bargain on your insurance premiums, it’s just saving you a little bit of time, but that small amount of time saved can end up being extraordinarily costly to you in the future if you have the wrong coverage during a time of need.

Just Listed highlights Arlington properties that just came on the market. This biweekly feature is written and sponsored by Coral Gundlach Homes.

Hello Arlington!

Coral Gundlach here with Coral Gundlach Homes in Arlington. I’ve been an Arlington homeowner since 2001 and a Realtor since 2004. I love this real estate market, even though it has its challenges.

Happy 2025 everyone! Is anyone else feeling like the snow just made this week not really the true first week of the year? The holiday hangover is real with added snow days and cancellations. Here’s to hoping next week is normal!

However, home buyers are following typical seasonal patterns and are showing up more than they were over the holidays, but less than a year ago. Arlington county listings got 448 showings in the week ending January 5th, compared to 665 a year ago and only 248 last week. Anecdotally, open houses are getting lots of traffic and many buyers appear to be monitoring the market and listings that way, if not jumping in completely yet.

There were 28 purchase contracts compared to 27 a year ago and only 12 last week. However, since this data set ended January 5th, I can tell you that plenty of listings are getting multiple offers now. We will see how next week’s numbers look.

Let’s look at some current listing data, shall we? With the new year I am changing the format a bit. Organizing the numbers by how many listings under and over $500k, between $500,000 and $1,000,000 and between $1-2,000,000, then $2,000,000 and up. Townhouses refer to all attached structures that aren’t condo ownership.

There are 208 Active listings in Arlington, down from 258 a month ago. Forty-seven of these were just listed or re-listed in the last week, down from 53 a month ago.

Of those Active listings: 

Under $500,00

  • 80 Total
  • 100% of those are condos or co-ops
  • Median Days on Market for those units is 49

Between $501,000 and $1,000,000

  • 53 Total
  • 7 are townhouses
  • 9 of those are detached
  • 37 are condos
  • Median Days on Market for those is 36

Between $1,000,001 and $2,000,000

  • 43 Total
  • 11 of those are townhouses
  • 26 are detached 
  • 6 are condos

$2,000,000 and up

  • 34 Total

This week’s Just Listed feature:

2792 N. Quebec Street, Arlington VA, 22207 — $1,650,000

2792 N. Quebec Street

This week’s featured listing is in the beautiful Dover neighborhood, steps to Potomac Overlook parkland and just minutes to Key Bridge and D.C. as well. 2792 N. Quebec Street is a “grand dame” and just needs some cosmetic updating (or not if you enjoy the retro aesthetic) and is sold as is.

It is a nearly 5,000 square foot elegant home with an attached two car garage, dramatic foyer entry with curved staircase, 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a ½ acre lot and a fantastic 23 x 25 sunroom off the back that brings the gorgeous surroundings inside! It is offered at $1,650,000 and listed by Jinx Lunger of Long and Foster. It is open this Sunday, January 12 from 1-3 p.m.

In the southern reaches of Burgundy, where the prestigious vineyards of Pouilly-Fuissé give way to the lesser-known commune of Fuissé, Domaine Thibert Miranda has quietly been producing some of the region’s most compelling white wines.

The estate’s 2022 Mâcon-Fuissé exemplifies why wine enthusiasts are increasingly turning their attention to this corner of the Mâconnais.

Jean-Paul Thibert’s family-owned estate takes a meticulous approach to winemaking, maintaining low yields in their carefully tended vineyards. While their Saint Veran and Pouilly-Fuissé bottlings have garnered attention, it’s their Mâcon-Fuissé that perhaps best demonstrates the region’s potential for exceptional value.

The 2022 vintage, which benefited from ideal growing conditions, showcases the distinctive character of Chardonnay grown in Fuissé’s limestone-rich soils.

After harvest, the wine spends seven months in neutral French oak barrels, developing a refined texture while preserving the grape’s natural vibrancy.

In the glass, the wine reveals a pale lemon hue and complex aromas of spiced pears, fresh peaches, and lemon curd, with subtle vanilla notes from barrel aging. The palate offers generous citrus and stone fruit flavors, balanced by a precise mineral core that provides structure and length.

While white Burgundy prices have risen significantly in recent years, with many Pouilly-Fuissé bottlings now exceeding $30, the Thibert Miranda Mâcon-Fuissé remains an accessible entry point to the region’s distinctive style. The 2022 vintage is available now at Arrowine, with special pricing available for case purchases.

The wine shows impressive versatility at the table, complementing everything from herb-roasted chicken and grilled fish to creamy pasta dishes and aged cheeses. While drinking beautifully now, it has the concentration and balance to develop nicely through 2028.
