Northern Virginia Real Estate Prices continue to FALL…

 

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 $482,197.00Thats 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?

Great Sushi in Arlington and McLean Virginia - Endo Sushi

For those Sushi lovers out there, we’re always on the prowl for new places to frequent to try some new Tuna Rolls, Spider Rolls, Crab Salad Rolls…you get the picture. We LOVE Endo Sushi, even more so because it’s got 2 locations - one in McLean across from our new office, and the other in Arlington (right in Clarendon). Their special rolls are the reasons we keep going back - their Caterpillar Rolls and Tempura Lobster Rolls - Yum!! We had lunch there today and I could go back for more!!

Anyone have other good recommendations for Sushi places?
