Northern Neck Real Estate is Slow

Filed under: Real Estate — admin @ 5:11 pm

Waterfront property in the Northern Neck is priced better than it has been in in years.

There are some exceptional prices out there if you compare them to the last 3 years.

Waterfront lots seem to be the best price of the the different catergories.

It looks like if you look at what people are asking for a waterfront home in the Northern Neck and you price it on X number of dollars per square foot and then add the price of what lots are selling for then I think the homes are a little high.

Keep search the Northern Neck MLS and give me a call.

Interest in Northern Neck Real Estate is Picking Up

Filed under: Real Estate — admin @ 8:16 am

Please continue to search the Northern Neck MLS.

Spring is upon us and as I start searching the MLS and analyzing the returned data one of the biggest things that I have noticed is the price of Lancaster County property. Especially in and around Kilmarnock.

In the past this property has been much higher than other property in the Northern Neck.

I emphasize much. There are several properties on deep water with quick access to the Chesapeake Bay right now within 5 minutes of Kilmarnock.

These properties that I have noticed are much lower. As low as what they would have sold for before the boom.

New Year in the Northern Neck

Filed under: Real Estate — admin @ 7:55 am

2008 has started off COLD but things are getting ready to change.

For the next few days the temperature is going to be in the 60's. I love hearing that because on warm days in the winter months it is kind of nice to get in your boat and run out in the Chesapeake Bay or one of the Northern Neck's many rivers.

The last few days the weather might have been cold but I'm hoping the real estate market will be HOT with the coming of spring as we have some new lots coming on the market (just developed). They should be in the Northern Neck MLS in the next couple of months.

Northern Neck Real Estate Review or the Northern Neck MLS

Filed under: Real Estate — admin @ 8:28 am

In every area of Virginia or any state I ever been in I can always find a publication for local real estate being sold.

 

The same is true for Northern Neck Real Estate. Although the Northern Neck Real Estate Review offers you page after page of colorful pictures it gives you no idea of the location, water depth, or days on the market that the Northern Neck MLS can.

 

The Northern Neck Real Estate Review shows you the asking price of a property. By using a Buyer’s Agent (of course you want that Buyer’s Agent to be Ken Smith) that agent can use the Northern Neck MLS to tell you what a property sold for which is a powerful tool in determining what to offer for property. 

80% of all home buyers start their search on the Internet and close 100% of my clients are people away from the area who are looking for a waterfront property whether it be a waterfront home or waterfront lot on or near the Chesapeake Bay.  

With the Northern Neck MLS you can be notified when properties are listed or when prices change for properties that meet your criteria. Can the Northern Neck Real Estate Review do this? No and not only that the information you get might be as old as 60 days whereas the Northern Neck MLS is current.
