The market did great this week. I would guess it was as a result of the stimulus package. We have 53 single family homes for sale in 20171 - Herndon/Oak Hill - up 3 from last week. You can definitely see the beginnings of Spring market both in the increase in "for sale" signs but also - which is great news - you can see some "contract pending" signs.

None of the new homes were short sales or foreclosures - which is another good sign.  When short sales or foreclosures homes come on the market - it depresses home prices and it makes it hard to stabilize the market price. The 9 homes can be seen by clicking http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=29301097208. The best news yet is that 7 homes sold this week - 2 of them were short sales but 5 of them were seller sold homes. Our market had been selling 1 seller sold home a week so this is a huge improvement.

Also, if you are looking for a new home, I will be at my Open House Sunday 3/1 1-4PM at 12859 Tewksbury - a well maintained home - just waiting for new owners.  Just stop by and see.
