Homes For Sale Update And Statistics As Of November 2009

Are you considering buying a home in Kingstowne and would like to know how rough the real estate waters are? Are you thinking about selling your home in Kingstowne and want to get a better picture of which homes are selling?

Here's this month's market snapshot report on Kingstowne Real Estate and home sales for the month of October 2009.

Kingstowne Market Snapshot Report

Here's what future Kingstowne homebuyers can tell from looking at the numbers:

As of November 3, 2009, there weren't any townhomes on the market in Kingstowne for under $300,000. The one townhome that was previously available and listed for under $300,000 has already been snapped up. But, first-time and scale-down buyers will have a bit more of a selection with condos in the under $300k price bracket.

Here's what future Kingstowne home sellers can tell from looking at the numbers:

If you own a townhome with a market value between $400,000 - $499,999, then you'll likely be sitting pretty because that's where the action is. In the past 30 days, five townhomes in this price range went under contract. That means that buyers and sellers reached an agreement, and these homes are no longer available.

Stay tuned for next month's market report as we start to plot the trends in Kingstowne home sales.

Kingstowne and Fort Belvoir-The Good Neighbor Policy

Putting out The Welcome Mat We don’t always get to decide who are neighbors are going to be. We take our chances when we see new houses going up around us. Deciding to put out the welcome mat often helps pull your new neighbors in and makes them feel welcome. And this is case with Fort Belvoir and Kingstowne.

When the earth movers first arrived on a large expansive of dirt between Van Dorn and Beulah roads everyone waited with anticipation to see how the newest neighborhood would grow. And grow it has. Into a community divided into three villages made up of commercial and residential space including 5300 hundred residences. With two main streets that lead to the gates at Fort Belvoir the connection between the two communities has grown. Many owners in Kingstowne also work at Fort Belvoir either as active duty Army assigned to the post or as civilians supporting the Army’s mission.

Happy Family in Kingstowne Virginia

For military families who decide to live in Kingstowne they can take advantage a variety of recreation options including 18 tot lots, three multi-purpose courts, almost 22 miles of hiking and biking paths, and community centers which offer swimming pools and a fitness center. There is a wide selection of eating options in the neighborhood including Bone Fish Grill, The Noodle Company, Panera Bread, Chipotles and King Street Blues. With the addition of the new AMC movie theater complex and the close by miniature golf course it easy to see why Kingstowne continues to be a popular neighborhood for military families to live.

Besides its location close to Fort Belvoir another key to success of the neighborhood is the easy access to two metro stations within a short distance of the neighborhood. Some residents can walk to the Springfield Metro or take a quick drive to the Van Dorn Street Metro Station which makes the neighborhood popular with military families who need to get to the Pentagon or other Military District of Washington sites besides Fort Belvoir.

With the upcoming influx of BRAC personnel the works both Kingstowne and Fort Belvoir will see even more growth in the future. Hopefully the great relationship that has already been forged between the two neighborhoods will continue to grow with the expansion of Fort Belvoir’s mission.
