INTRODUCTION

We have been helping families buy here in Penderbrook for years and have decided to start this blog. Our goal is to help those families that already live in Penderbrook and those that are thinking about living here, see what is going on in the neighborhood.

No change as of last 2 weeks. This is rare in Penderbrook but this was Christmas week and people were to busy buying presents and not homes :) 2 condos did close before the new year though and we have those numbers below. We will have some more movement by next week.

I hope everyone had a great christmas with your family and friends ! I got a chance to go to New York last weekend and see the city all decked out for christmas. It snowed all day Saturday and was bitter cold and rained all day Sunday but it was worth it. Juniors cheesecake was amazing !

OBSERVATIONS

Condos are selling a little bit better here in Penderbrook. Alot of first time home buyers can not go abover a certain price and are getting what they need out of a home and are staying within that price range. So 2+ bedroom condos will continue to do fine here in Penderbrook. The townhomes in fairfax that go below 400k are getting a lot more interest. You to have think like a buyer or investor right now. It doesnt make sense for a investor to be paying more money then they would be bringing in and for a first time buyer (which these are flooding the markets right now) they can only afford so much which is usually under 350k or under 400k

Only 2 townhomes in Penderbrook have sold for over 400k in the 4 months!

Our team is working with a couple short sale situations right now and have the right people in place to negotiate with the bank and sell your home. Contact us to see if you can qualify for a short shale. There is almost never a financial implication for doing so.
