About Alexandria's Kingstowne

A glance at Kingstowne

Will Nesbitt -  condos / real estate in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County: Real Estate Agent in Alexandria, VA

Kingstowne is planned community with nearly 5400 residences. Along Kingstowne's rolling boulevards one will find a nice mixture of condos, townhouses and single family homes. Kingstowne has an open and surburban feel. Kingstowne Towne Centre has shops, grocers, restaurants, banks and fast food: all the conveniences of modern life. Nearby Springfield Mall serves most shopping needs.

Kingstowne's 22,000 acres are so expansive, that some folks refer to the general area (including nearby subdivisions like Manchester Lakes and Island Creek) as Kingstowne. Kingstowne is in Fairfax County, and most residences here have Alexandria postal addresses. The surrounding area is more rightly called Springfield or Franconia.

Kingstowne is located just outside the Capital Beltway (I-495) and has easy access to the Springfield Mixing Bowl (the enormous junction of Interstates 95, 395, and 495). This provides residents a good commute to major employment centers like the Pentagon, Washington DC, Tysons Corner, Arlington and Alexandria. Via back-roads, Kingstowne connects very easily to Fort Belvoir and parts of Alexandria.

The residents of Kingstowne can also reach downtown DC via the Metro's Blue Line at the Springfield-Franconia Metro or the Van Dorn Metro. Springfield-Franconia station is closer to Kingstowne and offers plenty of parking. Van Dorn Metro is closer to town and offers a "kiss and ride"

2010 is going to be another great year for successful agent teams that are focused 100% on the next time home buyer.

Dan and Traci Rochon: Real Estate Agent in Alexandria, VA

NAR, CNN and HUD have reported that 2009 generated 2 million foreclosures and in 2010 -- this number will rise to 2.4 million.

Our clients have been demanding for us to offer a search tool that allowed for them to easily search for short sales and foreclosures in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC.

We realized our old website was not working as hard for us as it once was and they simply were not keeping up with the changes in hand coded Websites, nor focusing on creating value add lead generating tools that we needed to serve a growing base of hungry, discount oriented next time homebuyers.

Like most website companies, we found that our old website was not giving us the flexibility or tools we needed to help us focus on marketing and selling distressed properties.

So we did what any other self-respecting agent team did... we bulldozed our old website and started off fresh, made it SEO friendly and we launched a series of Press Releases thanks to our new real estate website and IDX systems from Voyager International, our outside internet marketing and advertising agency.

Short Sales and Foreclosures will continue to sell well all over the United States in 2010, but we are seeing explosive demands for discounted homes for next time homebuyers in the Virginia, Maryland and DC areas.

If any REALTOR is looking to relocate a customer to Virginia, Maryland or Washington DC area, please let us know how we can be of service to you.

Our website sports an IDX for all three states, and we were recently featured in Entrepreneur Magazine.

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.
