Does Staging Your Home Make A Difference In Sales Price?

Posted on May 20, 2013 by thebeltteam

If you’re selling your home, you may be thinking about staging & whether it’s really necessary. Maybe you’re wondering . . . . .

What percentage of Sellers stage their homes?

And what’s the return on investment?

If so, check out this short video and then contact The Belt Team at (703) 242-3975. We work with stagers that can make magic happen. But we can also advise you personally on whether YOUR home needs staging or not. It’s not always necessary and we make it a point to advise our clients on what is best for them. We don’t want you to have to spend money if it’s not in your best financial interests! (That’s one reason our clients think we are the best Realtors in Northern VA!)

Vienna & Oakton Real Estate Markets Keep On Pace

Posted on May 15, 2013 by thebeltteam

What is happening in the Vienna & Oakton real estate markets? Here are the highlights over the past week:

Inventory levels are stable (and low). Vienna has 124 homes on the market (down 1 from a week ago). And Oakton has 72 homes on the market (up 1 from a week ago).
Months of housing supply remains the same in each area: 1 month in Vienna and 1.6 months in Oakton. (This means it’s a Seller’s Market.)
Homes are selling quickly. In Vienna, 59% of the homes that went under contract sold in 2 weeks or less. In Oakton, that figure was 45%.
Buyers all over Northern VA are finding themselves competing for the same homes. It’s not unusual for a buyer to write contracts on multiple homes before they prevail and beat out the competition.

Here are last week’s statistics:

Vienna Real Estate (22180,22181, 22182):

Number of Contracts: 22

Vienna Housing Supply Drops To Record Low & Oakton Inventory Inches Up

Posted on May 8, 2013 by thebeltteam

Sales in the Vienna and Oakton market remain brisk, and as a result Vienna’s housing supply has dropped to a new 2013 record low of less than 1 month. (We have not seen this in MANY years!) There are currently 125 homes on the market in Vienna. And in the past 30 days, 127 homes have gone under contract. Yikes!

Oakton’s inventory is also low, but seems to be inching up slowly. With a rise in inventory of 13% since last week, there are now 71 homes for sale. This is the highest we have seen in Oakton since last October.

How Fast Are Homes Selling in Vienna & Oakton?

Posted on May 1, 2013 by thebeltteam

Wondering how fast the real estate market is moving in Vienna & Oakton?

Well, Mohammed Ali had a quote about how fast he was. It goes like this: “I’m so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.” The market isn’t moving quite THAT fast. But it’s swift.

Last week in Vienna, 27 homes sold. 74% of those homes sold in a week or less. And 89% sold in 2 weeks or less! That’s the fastest week yet this year.

Last week in Oakton, 7 homes sold. 43% sold in a week or less. And 57% sold in 2 weeks or less. So the Oakton market is not moving quite as swiftly as Vienna.

Here’s what else happened last week:

Vienna Real Estate (22180,22181, 22182):
