I had a wonderful lunch today with my good friends Marilyn and John Burroughs. John is an incredibly talented architect and his wife and partner, Marilyn, is a nationally published interior designer. Together, they are New Leaf Collaborative and they are magic. I met John over 10 years ago when he designed our addition and renovations for our Leesburg home. He has such vision and understanding of what people really want and need. I was in awe looking at some of the designs they brought to share with me over a casual lunch at Magnolias.
If you need a fantastic architect/design team look them up. They are always my first recommendation.

I met a wonderful client this week – she’s moving in from Atlanta GA. Top of her list is golf course or mountain views. That leaves many possibilities. We toured over 15 homes in 2 days. Here are a few of the highlights:
43604 Beaver Creek Terrace in River Creek for $575k listed by Long and Foster. Gated golf course community. This home looks like it could have been the builder model. It shows extremely well. End unit, backs to fairway. 4 finished levels- my client loved it. 18091 Turnberry Drive in Stoneleigh for $849,900 listed by Coldwell Banker. On the 14th Tee with incredible panoramic golf course and mountain views. This is a superb listing that has all the high end finishes you would expect in Stoneleigh and tons of curb appeal! This home is situated on a wooded lot, but the house is crafted very well in Old Williamsburg style. Hardwood flooring, authentic fixtures, cabinetry and wonderful layout make this home an exceptional buy.

What a gem! Must see inside! 3 bedrooms 1 and 1/2 baths. Kitchen with farmhouse cabinetry and granite countertops. Hardwood flooring throughout with wide plank wood flooring on the upper level. This home was built in the late 1800′s but it has been nicely renovated. Upstairs laundry room, Victorian touches. Tastefully decorated. Fully fenced 1/4 acre lot with deck. Town water and sewer but NO town Tax! You won’t be disappointed. For more photos go to featured listings on my site: www.kellygaitten.com or call 703-966-7036 to setup your showing today.

More great news for buyers and sellers in Loudoun County. April market statistics show continued improvement in our housing market. The number of active listings went from 2184 in March to 2434 in April. Of those, 430 homes sold as compared to 409 in March. It took an average of only 44 days for homes to sell compared to 65 days in March. The average sales price compared to list price was up to 96.23% compared to 93.92% in March. Rates are still very good – buyers don’t delay. If you are a seller considering what to do give me a call for a complete market analysis!

The Dulles Area Association of Realtors statistics show Loudoun County sales continuing the upswing. Days on market stayed at 44 as it was in April. This is the lowest we have seen since late 2005. Inventory is still relatively low and has dipped to 2373 active listings as compared to 2434 in April. Average sales price as compared to list price is up to 95%. 
This is positive news for sellers. Prices are still lower than they were in past years so buyers should be encouraged to jump on historic lows in interest rates. Worried that you missed the tax credit? Sue Puleo (Our saavy broker) pointed out this week that buyers who purchase now are looking at rates almost a whole percentage point lower than in April. Over the life of a 30 year fixed loan that could be tens of thousands of dollars in savings!
