We throw quite a few stats, facts and figures at you each week with “Just Reduced.”

In addition to the figures on the surface — which certainly include listing price and possible reductions — there are some big-time figures that may not be quite as immediately publicized that you’ll certainly want to figure out before signing on the dotted line.

Among them are closing costs, insurance costs, taxes, prospective renovations, maintenance fees, inspection costs and potential homeowner association fees.

Entering any transaction, you’ll want to dissect everything that may be involved with the property. A detailed statement with line-by-line costs and fees will be imperative to determine the true value of your investment up-front.

There is quite a bit involved and, when entering unchartered waters and related lingo, it can certainly be stressful.

We’re here to help. When you’re ready to pull the trigger on an Arlington real estate investment, we’ve been navigating the local market for more than 30 years have the local expertise needed to get the most bang for your buck.

January 15 is National Hat Day. Yes, we love a good quirky awareness day, obviously.

So, what kind of hat are you sporting today?

Fortunately, since we’re hovering at around 60 degrees, we’re all not necessarily needing a thermal beanie. It’s never a bad time to rep our World Series champs Nats (still riding that wave of happiness) or league-leading Caps either (let’s bring home another cup this year, boys).

Here at Arlington Realty, we’re sporting our strategic and thinking caps today… and every day.

It’s simply a wild and wonderful time to be engrained in the local real estate market. The Washington D.C. area weathered the recession, has continued to be anchored by a stable and growing housing market and there is so much ahead for us all in 2020.

To make the most of it and get the most bang for your buck, that thinking (and executing!) cap will be vital — not only for you, but the team you select to advocate on your behalf.

Let’s bust out the crystal ball and predict what’s going to happen in 2020.

Will the Caps win the Stanley Cup again? Will there be world peace? We shall see.

On the housing front, Realtor.com recently released its National Housing Forecast 2020 and it’s full of some interesting predictions. Among them, the group anticipates the following nationally:

• Mortgage rates to creep up .03% by the end of the year to 3.88%
• Existing home median sales price appreciation to rise .08%
• Existing home sales to fall 1.8%
• Single-family home housing starts to jump 6%
• The homeownership rate to hit 64.6%

So, this translates to price growths flattening and inventory remaining tight.

Locally, in the D.C.-Arlington-Alexandria metro area, Realtor.com is anticipating a 1.5% decline in the number of sales and a 2.6% jump in price.

These stats certainly reflect the trend here in our market of limited inventory yet increasing prices, anchored by a strong job market, competitive wages and forthcoming projects, like Amazon’s HQ2.

Bottom line: It’s shaping up to be another interesting year in Arlington County and surrounding areas. And, when you’re ready to navigate the local real estate market and get the most bang for your buck, on either side of a transaction, the time-tested team at Arlington Realty Inc is ready to roll on your behalf.

What is the day after Christmas known for? Returns and exchanges galore!

Unfortunately, we can’t always nail the perfect gift and, as you’re out and about after Christmas, you’re bound to see just as many bags heading into the store as heading out.

In the spirit of one of the biggest exchange and return days of the year, a friendly reminder that, in the real estate world, it’s not so easy to make an easy “exchange or return” once you’ve reached a certain point in a purchase.

That’s why it’s important to know exactly what you’re getting in to before signing on the dotted line and/or reaching a certain point. From the complex terminology, to local and state-wide norms, you need a trusted team on your side that can help you grasp it all.

Sure, the temperatures may be falling.

BRRRRRRR.

But our Northern Virginia real estate market remains hot, hot, hot.

As we’ve covered time and time again, things (especially in Arlington County) have been absolutely booming over the past year. And, inventory is particularly tight.

A new Realtor.com report on “The Amazon Ripple Effect” stated that the amount of listings were down 49 percent year-over year in Arlington (folks are clearly holding on to their property in many instances!), while prices were up a whopping 32.9 percent.

The big question that looms as we enter 2020 is: Can we possibly keep this up?

In the heart of one of the hottest real estate markets in the U.S., it’s never been more important to have a trusted team by your side. With in-market experience and leadership since 1984, the team at Arlington Realty, Inc. has seen the ebbs and flows throughout the years.

Count this as your official two-week heads-up… Christmas will be here in two weeks, y’all!

So, how is that shopping coming along?

More specifically, how many Nintendo Switches have you purchased? Any Instant Pots for the stragglers that didn’t get on board last year? Or, perhaps a Razor scooter or two (P.S., those were super-cool like a decade ago, too)?

Regardless, our team wishes you the best of luck with your holiday-related endeavors.

And, if a real estate gift is at the top of your wish list this year — whether buying or selling — we’re ready to jump into action on your behalf. While we’re certainly on the homestretch of 2019, it’s never too late to achieve those goals of yours.

How is that holiday shopping going?

With Thanksgiving officially in the books and the calendar reading “December,” it’s time to wrap up any outstanding shopping you have left. (Unless, of course, you’re one of those big-time procrastinators, then continue to do your thing.)

Amid shopping for your loved ones, now is not a horrible time to be thinking about bargains for your home as well.

If you’re in the market for a new TV or small appliances, your favorite uncle doesn’t have to be the only one getting a cool Christmas gift this year. Now is one of the best times of the year to purchase TVs, toaster ovens, blenders and seemingly everything in between.

For the handy folks out there, of course a new screwdriver set makes a great gift. But, you can probably use a new tool or two yourself for your handy work and December is a great time for saving some dough.

If all that remains on your holiday shopping list is a top-notch real estate team, Arlington Realty Inc. is ready to help you mark that one off the list when you’re ready, too.

We love a quirky holiday or two around here and today, November 20, is G.O.H.A.R.D. Day. So, what does that stand for exactly?

Globally Organized Hug A Runner Day. That’s a new one for us, but for all those folks inspiring us locally with their running endeavors (many of which have a charitable benefit!) we salute you and give you a big air-hug.

So, if any active lifestyle is up your alley, we can help you find the home of your dreams nearby. When you’re ready to get running (pun intended, obviously) on your real estate search, the team at Arlington Realty, Inc. is ready to roll.

Before we jump into today’s Just Reduced overview, Monday was Veterans Day.

Our area — including not just Arlington County but our nation’s capital — is steeped in military tradition, spanning picturesque monuments, centuries of history and thousands upon thousands of military families that call these beautiful confines home.

To wonderful veterans and their families: The sincerest thank you to you all… every single day.

On the note of thank yous and kindness, today is World Kindness Day. So, let’s keep the love for our military and each other going strong. In an increasingly wacky world, let’s think about the positive impact we can have on each other, especially locally here in our own community.

On the kindness front and when you’re ready to embark on your real estate journey, the Arlington Realty, Inc. team will always greet you with professionalism, keen local knowledge and a smile. When you’re ready to roll, we are, too.
