Northern Virginia’s year to date average real estate sales price is down from last year.
Last years average sales price was $537,339.00 and this years grand total is $482,197.00. Thats is a 10.26% decrease. Ive had several customers negotiate listing prices down but what happened to 3-6% being the popular percentages realtors liked to promote as an almost automatic decrease when submitting an offer.
Are we going to continue to dip or will perhaps….the pending presidential election or other factors…. help bring us back into a place where values start to increase again?

While sad for us, it is with great pleasure for her that the Real Estate Post Team announces that their very own, Laura Rubinchuk of the Keller Williams Mclean Virginia office, is setting out on her own.
After many months of support Laura has found it within to start her very own real estate business. During her time with us Laura has cultivated quite a following and is certain to take her high spirit, smarts and positive demeanor to the height of real estate successes for herself and her customers. While we hope she wont be far, and is of course always welcome back with us, we wish her a fond farewell and many successes in the months and years to come.
Please post a congratulatory comment for Laura and wish her the very best- We will miss her!
