The Summer Market

We've already had quite a few hot days, although today is June 1st and summer officially begins in 20 days. In the same way that the temperatures have risen, so has the Washington, D.C. region's real estate market.   In May, Urban Turf reported that homes in D.C.'s top selling neighborhoods are selling faster this year, than in spring 2014.  Listings in these areas including Bloomingdale, Mount Pleasant and Capitol Hill, are off the market in 10 days or less.  

In a recent study  Trulia  found that buying a home is 32 percent less than renting in the District.   June is National Homeownership Month. The time to buy or sell is now. Consider our growing team of experienced realtors to help you navigate the summer market and beyond.  Last month realtor Andrew Goods and I earned the distinction of Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialists from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing . Only realtors that have demonstrated expertise in the luxury market and are in the top 10 percent of performers are granted this certification. 

Among our inventory of more than 40 residential and commercial listings, we have  a property that suits your needs.   For those of  you in the market to sell your home, our  expert listing agents will   market the property and help you choose the best offer.  

Best regards,
