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.

A $999 reduction on a million-dollar home. Why should you care?

It’s a question we get quite a bit here at the Just Reduced column.

Sure, some of the reductions we see equate to a one percent savings off the list price… or even much less. These types of reductions may not seem that impressive, especially when we see prices on some listings drop by hundreds of thousands of dollars or upwards of 10 or even 25 percent.

But it’s important to keep this in mind: These reductions are only just the beginning.

Some sellers reduce prices to appease to online searchers (e.g. a buyer with a budget of $1 million won’t find your $1,000,001 listed home in a search of properties under $1 million). Some have drastically overpriced their initial listings. And, in some instances, buyers have deadlines of their own to meet and just need to get moving.

The bottom line with reduced properties: Sellers are taking action. With a trusted team by your side, you can harness their activity/urgency and negotiate further.

When you’re ready to embark on your real estate journey, the team at Arlington Realty, Inc. is ready to roll on your behalf.

November is just around the corner (Friday!). Of all the months in the year, this is certainly one where people are most reflective and give widespread thanks.

Most of the time here within the Just Reduced column, we talk about the home-related items that are optimal to buy and/or are the best bargains during certain months (e.g. patio furniture after the summer months).

For November, let’s think about the things we have, de-clutter (very important in many aspects of the real estate world!) and make a positive impact on those in-need in our community.

Ahead of Thanksgiving, take a look at your pantries and the non-perishable food that you can donate to great organizations like the Capital Area Food Bank and Arlington Food Assistance Center. Better yet, perhaps the next grocery trip you take, pick up a few extra items that can be donated and make a real and lasting effect on our neighbors.

And, if there are household items that are taking up space, de-clutter! Whether you are buying, selling or staying put, it never hurts.

Now on to this week’s figures.

We hope everyone is enjoying these beautiful fall days.

With high temps in the mid- to upper-60s forecasted through next week and foliage hitting near-peak, this is the time of year many of us wish would last forever. Unfortunately, Old Man Winter and his frigid temps (and perhaps an onslaught of snow?) will be here before we know it. And, we should all be getting ready.

Among your fall to winter transition list in Arlington County, take a look at your window and door sealings. When it’s time to crank the heat, you won’t want heat (and money!) seeping out of your home.

Additionally, give those gutters a look. Sure, some leaves are still clinging to our trees. But, once they’ve all fallen, you’ll likely find a good chunk of them in your gutters. Snow and ice on top of whatever is already there can equal a potentially hazardous disaster, so now is the time to clean them out.

In addition to many of our team members calling Arlington home for generations, Arlington Realty, Inc. has been serving locals since 1984. Whether it’s the seasons or your real estate transaction, we’re ready to help you weather (pun intended) any scenario.

Hot, hot, hot! Whether you live here or want to, you’re bound to hear about just how darn sizzlin’ Arlington County’s real estate market is right now.

Amid the factors, one of the key drivers in pushing prices and demand up is… INVENTORY! As of today, according to BrightMLS, there are 286 total homes for sale in Arlington County. Looking at our Just Reduced column from four years ago (yes, we go way back with this column!), there were 574 total homes for sale.

So, doing some math here, we’ve seen a 50 percent-plus reduction in inventory in a four-year span, let alone the other stats and facts you can pull out there. That’s pretty incredible.

On the seller’s front, now is an incredibly powerful time for you. The options in Arlington County are limited and you can certainly leverage the situation. On the buyer’s front, it’s never been more important to have a seasoned team by your side to navigate the competitive market.

Regardless of which side of the transaction you may fall, the team at Arlington Realty, Inc. is ready to advocate on your behalf and get the most bang for your buck.

It’s Fire Prevention Week.

Running from October 6-12; fun fact, the first Fire Prevention Week was established by Calvin Coolidge back in 1925. It exists to raise awareness of the practices that can prevent a catastrophe and also honor our fire-fighting heroes.

So, to our Arlington County Fire Department (and nearby jurisdictions), a sincere thank you for all you have done and continue to do for our community.

And, on the real estate front, there are a few simple things you can do to protect yourselves in your home. First and foremost, ensure that smoke alarms are installed on each level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside principal sleeping areas. If you haven’t checked your alarm batteries in a while, you should do so every month.

Also, make sure to have a fire escape plan — you never know when you’ll need it. For more helpful tips, the Department of Homeland Security has an excellent checklist.

We’re always looking out for you. When you’re ready to embark on a real estate journey, we’re ready to roll on that front as well. And now for this week’s stats and facts.

As of October 7, there are 147 detached homes, 23 townhouses and 103 condos for sale throughout Arlington County. In total, 26 homes experienced a price reduction in the past week:

Hello, October.

Now that 10th month of the year has officially arrived, there’s a lot to look forward to. With foliage predicted to peak in mid- to late-October, make sure your best camera is ready-to-go as it’s always stunningly beautiful in and around Arlington County.

On the home and bargains front, October is a wonderful time to stock up on anything and everything outdoor-related. Those summer patio items, grilling equipment and camping sets are generally primed to sell, so get moving. But, don’t go too wild beyond that because Black Friday is next month (yes, time is flying!).

If you haven’t checked off “purchasing a home of your own” on the fall to-do list, there is still time and our trusted team is ready to roll. Regardless of the season, we’ve been helping sellers, buyers and renters achieve their real estate goals since 1984.

So, let’s make your goals and dreams a reality. This October, there is surely something awesome out there just waiting for you to “fall” for.

Single-family homes, townhouses and condos get a lot of love on the Just Reduced column.

Regardless of what may already be constructed and how hot our local market may be, there is still land out there in Arlington County to build the home (or business!) of your dreams.

In case you haven’t heard, we have a big, new neighbor: Amazon.

Yesterday (Tuesday, September 17), the company held a career day in Crystal City. Currently, according to the Washington Post, there are currently 170 Amazon jobs open in Arlington and the company has a goal of hiring 400 folks in the county by year’s end.

Surely, there will be more career fairs and more employment openings as construction begins on its HQ2 in the first quarter of 2020. We’ll certainly keep an eye on it and keep you in the loop.

In the meantime, the “Amazon Effect” in our area remains strong, with Arlington and Alexandria recently topping Redfin’s list of the most competitive real estate markets in the nation.

To navigate these interesting (and exciting!) times, you’ll need a reliable team advocating for you. When you’re ready to roll, Arlington Realty has been the area’s family-owned, trusted choice since 1984. Let’s make your real estate dreams a reality, regardless of what end of a transaction you may be on.

September 11 is always an incredibly reflective day.

In addition to the moments of silence throughout our nation, meaningful tributes and individual memories, we can never forget the significant impact September 11, 2001 had on Arlington County.

One-hundred and eighty-four folks lost their lives at the Pentagon that morning, between folks working at the building and aboard American Airlines Flight 77. Today we remember you.

I’ll also never forget how our community came together, solidifying that much more why Arlington is such an amazing place to call home. We may be nearly two decades removed from that day, but it will stick with me forever.

With that and unending gratitude, on to this week’s stats and facts.

As of September 9, there are 150 detached homes, 21 townhouses and 104 condos for sale throughout Arlington County. In total, 18 homes experienced a price reduction in the past week:

If you thought things were competitive before, welcome to 2019.

The Arlington County real estate market (and surrounding areas, too) has traditionally been anchored by low unemployment, comparatively high salaries and a stable housing market. Now with the arrival of Amazon’s HQ2, among other heavy-hitters, Arlington is now considered the second most competitive housing market in the U.S. Our neighbor, Alexandria, comes in at No. 1.

A report released by Redfin in August showed that an average of 45.9 percent of homes in Arlington are selling above asking price; 57.1 percent of listed homes are under contract within two weeks; and inventory has decreased 50.5 percent year-over-year.
