NEW HOME SALES DOWN 33% FOR THE MONTH OF MAY??? NOT IN MY MARKET!!

NEW HOME SALES DOWN 33% FOR THE MONTH OF MAY???  NOT IN MY MARKET!!

The only word to describe the new homes market in my area is DYNAMIC.  New homes in Loudoun County, Virginia has led the area in new home sales for over 15 years and will probably continue to do so. 

We have the benefit of

  • low unemployment,
  • high income averages
  • many popular employment centers,
  • Dulles International Airport,
  • great shopping,
  • transportation alternatives,
  • popular national builders and a
  • highly ranked public school system.

When I first heard the news of a 33% decline in new home sales yesterday, my first thought was, WHERE?  Not here.  I specialize in new home sales.  I love new home sales.  I love new homes.  Fortunately, I'm in a market, Northern Virginia where new home sales have not declined as they have in other markets across the country.  Which is, of course, the problem with national home sales reports, they are MEANINGLESS to any local new home market. 

The average income for a family in Loudoun County is about $120,000 a year.  That income will qualify most home buyers for a mortgage loan in the $500,000 range.  There are many homes for sale in the $500,000 price range.  We recently closed a lovely home in Brambleton that sold for $492,000 (below).

                              New HOme in Ashburn

In fact, I was inspired to drop by a builder in Brambleton, a community in Ashburn, Virginia where new home construction is hot and heavy.  Buyers are buying, builders are selling, lenders are lending and homes are SELLING.

In the community where I closed on a new home on June 28, they had 4 sales in May, 5 in April and so far, 2 in June.  This is the rate at which a builder is profitable and the community will remain viable.  Over the years that I've sold new homes in Northern Virginia and Maryland, 4-5 home sales is often the builder's goal for spring months.  More is better, but 4-5 will keep construction going and help maintain appraisals.

LOUDOUN COUNTY NEW HOME BUYERS - ALERT! DO YOU WANT TO ENJOY THE SWIMMING POOL THIS YEAR? or about 3 YEARS FROM NOW??

LOUDOUN COUNTY NEW HOME BUYERS - ALERT!  DO YOU WANT TO ENJOY THE SWIMMING POOL THIS YEAR? or about 3 YEARS FROM NOW??

WHEN WILL THE POOL BE AVAILABLE?  Home buyers don't always understand that builders or developers rarely have the amenities available to residents in the first year or two.  But, why not??  For one thing, the builder will want to have a number of homes completed and residents paying into the Home Owner's Association which is responsible for pool maintenance and the life guard.  Until there are a number of homes completed and occupied, the builder will be paying for or subsidizing the cost of maintaining and staffing the amenities.  So, don't expect to move into a newly opened community and have the pool ready the first year or two. 

CAN WE FINANCE WITH FHA OR VA FINANCING?  This could also determine what type of financing is available.  Many new home communities will not be approved for FHA or VA financing until the Community Center, swimming pool, etc. are completed and fully operational.  When home buyers are interested in the immediate use of amenities, this is one of the first things we verify when showing new homes to our buyers.

DON'T FORGET TO VERIFY THE AVAILABILITY OF THE COMMUNITY AMENITIES.  If the attraction of a new home community is the swimming pool, the tennis court, community center and other features that may have attracted you to a particular community, you'll want to make sure that those amenities are available now or at least soon. 

COMMUNITY CENTER AND SWIMMING POOL READY FOR BUYERS WHEN THEY CLOSE IN JUNE.  One of the communities in which Homefinders.com has a new home in Ashburn / Brambleton under construction offers a fully completed recreations center, a fully operational outdoor swimming pool and other features for home owners.

           The community swimming pool is fully operational and will be opened soon for summer fun.
