According to the Trends in Housing, a joint publication of MRIS and Delta Associates the Washington area housing market is in the recovery cycle, ahead of the rest of the nation:
• Prices continue to show signs of recovery: 2nd quarter prices in the metro are up from the 1st quarter and from the same quarter in 2009, with the Outer jurisdictions (Loudoun, Prince William and Frederick Counties) outperforming the Core and Inner jurisdictions. Prices will likely gain traction through the remainder of 2010 facilitating further increases in transaction volume. This is the third consecutive quarter prices have risen on a trailing 12-month basis. • Days on market continue to decline compared to both last quarter and a year ago. Properties in the Outer jurisdictions have experienced the sharpest recovery, but across the region, time on market is very close to or below the region's long-term average. Time on market is the lowest since 2006. • The ratio of inventory to sales continues to decline in most jurisdictions from one year ago. The metro-wide ratio of 4.5 months' worth of listings is below the normal, healthy standard of 6 months, signaling that demand is beginning to outpace supply.
• The gap between buyer and seller demands is closing, with the average sales price in the 2nd quarter of 2010 at 95.2% of list price, the highest ratio in more than two years.
Summary: The average price in the 2nd quarter of 2010 is 13.0% higher than one year earlier. Time on market averaged 43 days in the 2nd quarter - the lowest of any substate area and below the regional average. Unit sales volume for 2nd quarter 2010 is 2.4% higher than last year at this time.
Loudoun County Trends:
The average home sales price in Loudoun County is $407,580 in the 2nd quarter of 2010, representing a 10.3% increase from the 2nd quarter of 2009. The 2nd quarter 2010 average sales price is still down substantially from a peak in the 3rd quarter of 2005, but has recovered from a low point in the 1st quarter of 2009, rising 21.8% since that time.
The average time on market in the 2nd quarter of 2010 was 44 days in Loudoun County, a decrease from last quarter's average of 63 days and below a high of 134 days in the 1st quarter of 2007.
As of June 2010, Loudoun County has a 4.7-month ratio of inventory to sales, up from 4.3 months at June 2009. That ratio is slightly above the regional average of 4.5 months.
Loudoun County was hit hard and early by the housing downturn in the metro area. However, the County's fundamentals continue to show signs of improvement as the metro-wide recovery continues.

In June 2006, we had our first child, a daughter, Ava Grace. In May 2008, we welcomed our second daughter, Sophie Caroline. They are both a true blessing, and we are enjoying parenthood immensely and looking forward to meeting our third little blessing who is on her way and due in a few months.

In March 2007 through hardwork and studying Donny recieved his Associate Broker's license. In this age of the Internet, Donny's main goal is to stay on the cutting edge of real estate. We are constantly improving our marketing package to include new and innovative internet marketing as well as the traditional print advertisements.

In this ever-fluctuating market, you can trust that we are committed to successful transactions and satisfied clients!
There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent clients themselves.
So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs.
"We really appreciate the professionalism you and your company show. everything you have done for us Donny. I have to tell you coming from my experience in sales you are good at what you do and you guys have a very good approach to the real estate business. You have made this a great and easy experience and you do not find great service nowadays. I will make sure your name is put out there whenever I have friends looking for homes or trying to sell their homes. Thanks for the great service Donny. Thank you for going above and beyond our expectations." Paul Gunning, Centreville to Haymarket
"We would like to say that we were very happy with our experience with Donny Samson as our realtor. Donny sold our home and assisted us in buying a new one. Donny was able to make a process that can often times be difficult and stressful into a process that we found enjoyable and fun. We put complete trust in his knowledge and expertise and he did not let us down. Donny was always patient in answering our many questions and was prompt in returning phone calls and e-mails. We would highly recommend Donny Samson and would absolutely work with him again in the future." Ryan and Lisa Corniare, Sterling to Ashburn
"As first-time homebuyers, we were a little intimidated by all of the details that come with purchasing a new home. Donny helped alleviate all of our concerns and made the process easy to understand and actually enjoyable! He patiently explained every step to us, answered our endless questions, and showed us countless houses (always accommodating our busy work schedules). We enjoyed working with Donny not only because of his thorough knowledge of the area and depth of experience, but because he is a genuinely nice person who cares about his clients and their happiness. We would recommend Donny to any of our family and friends." Lee Zachos and Kristin Franks, Oakton
"It was a pleasure every step of the way for us. Your professionalism and knowledge of the business can't be beat. You made house shopping fun for us, and you were always prepared and able to answer all of our many questions. You were incredibly prompt in responding to all of our emails and phone calls. Your professionalism and courteousness are unparalleled. You impressed us so much! Thank you for everything you've done for us. We could not be happier in our new home. We will always count on your for our real estate needs in the future." Mark and Jenny Ashburn, VA
"Donny made our first homebuying experience an incredibly pleasant one. He was unbelievably quick to respond to our questions and requests and walked us through the entire process with a consistently professional and courteous manner. We cannot thank Donny enough for helping us find the perfect home. We began recommending him to friends after our first meeting and will certainly continue to do so." Matt and Annie, Sterling
"Donny helped me purchase my first home and I love it! I highly recommend using Samson Realty to anyone considering purchasing a new home. Donny walked me through the process of purchasing a home and really made me comfortable with the entire situation. I looked at over a dozen homes in person with Donny and he was always very patient and his extensive knowledge in the industry made me understand how important it is to have a good real estate agent. Also, he made the whole process easier by always being available at times that were convenient for me. Eventually I found a great home which met all my specific needs. I honestly feel he wanted me to be happy in my new home, not just make a sale. Samson Realty was with me all the way and I can say that they gave great customer service and got me a great deal on my new home." Kevin McGunnigle, Fairfax
