Which Presidential Canidate Do You Really Support In Loudoun County ???

McCain And Barack

There is no doubt that Presidential candidates view our area as a crucial area for winning the debate.  Last week Democratic candidate Joe Biden spoke at Claude Moore Park in Sterling.  In the beginning of September Republican candidate John McCain and Sarah Palin campaigned in Fairfax County. 

Since this is a real estate blog with daily readers I will resist sharing my personal views concerning the candidates.  Nevertheless, since there is a lot of confusion as to who to vote for with the press only pushing their bias I found a site that will help. 

Take this short test  that will tell you which candidate you agree with the most…..

No More Visual Litter ???

Loudoun County is getting board….

The board of supervisors is working with the department of transportation that would allow zoning inspectors to remove signs on roads and prosecute repeat offenders.  Seriously???

You are telling me that people have nothing better to do than to drive around removing temporary signs calling it “visual litter?”  I can understand that there are times, especially during an election, when there are hundreds of the same signs on filling the road ways.  However, an OPEN HOUSE sign that is there for 3 hours 1 day a week or a church sign that is placed outside of a building that is rented on a weekly basis and charging these people fines.  This is ridiculous. 

Here is an article concerning it in the Leesburg Today….

Dulles VA… Location, Location, Location

Dulles International

I was reading through a few notes made concerning the Washington Dulles Area that I found very interesting.  I thought I would share a few with you….

“The Greater Washington region has a diverse private-sector economy, with strong technology, international business and tourism sectors.  The region is also an association capital.  It is by several measures the largest high-tech market in the country; it is also an ideal location for firms looking to gain global business exposure and access to federal policy makers.”   — The Greater Washington Initiative

” Buried under the Washington Dulles Airport Toll Road are the vital electronic pathways that carry more than half of all traffic on the Internet.  The region is home to more telecom and satellite companies than any other place on earth.”  — TIME Magazine

“In addition, the Washington Dulles International Airport region is within an 8- hour drive of 50% of the U.S. population making it also a prime point for product distribution. 

Aren’t you glad you live here?

Loudoun County Absorption Rate

It is Wednesday and Wednesday is for stats at the The Real Estate Bakery.  SO… I have decided to add a new tool to the belt of those of you who enjoy my weekly stats. 

Ladies and Gettleman, I am proud to introduce, “ABSORPTION RATES.”

Absorption rates is a term that defines the amount of time it would take for the market to consume all of the current inventory if no more homes were added to the market. 

For the past few months in Loudoun this rate has been dropping so this is a good thing.  Currently in June, if no more homes were added to the market it would take 24.88 weeks to sell all of the homes on the market.  Here is a helpful chart that I have created for you.

Loudoun’s Summer Music Concerts And Festivals

Ashburn and Leesburg are hosting a summer full of concerts and events this year.  I am not sure who started this outdoor competition but there is no denying that it is anything less than a battle of the communities.  I say, “Let the battle begin while we reap the benefits of a summer full of music and fun!”

For the next few weeks I will do my best to outline these events.  Just to let you in on who is involved thus far; Belmont, Broadlands, Brambleton, Lansdowne, Tarara Winery, Leesburg Town Hall and The Courthouse (these guys may have started it all- obviously not a community). 

This week lets cover Belmont’s- Loudoun Summer Music Fest.

 These stats only include homes in Ashburn, Leesburg, and Sterling VA.

Loudoun County 2008 Property Tax Increase

Since the property values assessed by the county have declined, Loudoun county decided to make it up by increasing our tax rate to $1.14 per $100 of the assessed value.   This increase will affect the average home owner by an average of $308!  Oh how I love big government.  Sorry, I can’t help myself at times for having an opinion. 

Interested in knowing where all of that $1.14 goes?

 $.69 ………… Schools

$.132………… Public Safety

$.133………… Other County Agencies

$.154………… Debt Services

$.025……….. Capital Projects

$.006……….. Comprehensive Services Act
