Norfolk, VA

Grease is in Norfolk, Va. The long running play is in town at Chrysler Hall and will be here thru Oct 4 so get your tickets now and enjoy. The show has been around since 1972 when Jim Jacobs co-wrote the show. He seems to think Grease has endured because of the cool cars, rock and roll, Elvis and James Dean. It was a time when we discovered our parents and authority figures were not always right. He it pretty much on the head as that is the time I was growing up. So take so time and enjoy yourself as Grease is in Norfolk.

As an inspector, I see things everyday that tell me if a home owner cares about their home or does not. One of those pesky things that often goes unnoticed is the HVAC filter. The filter is installed in the return side of the HVAC system. The return side of the system is the part that returns the air back to the air handler for cooling down or heating up. The filter is important because it stops debris from entering into and harming the air handler and the HVAC distribution system.

Here is a graphic example of an irresponsible home owner:

This picture shows the coils that are inside the air handler. Not all air handler are this accessible so this is a great photo opportunity for you! Yes, that is a layer of very thick duct covering the coils. When the coils are this dirty, the HVAC system does not perform well at all. Running a system like this will reduce the lifespan as well as increase your heating and cooling costs.

Bottom line is this: Change your filters on a regular basis. You may have more than one filter in your home. If you have pets in the home, you will have to change them more frequently. Listing agents repeat" no dirty filters"!

I have written about this before but let me do it again - what a great time to buy an investment property, vacation home, second home, any home in Norfolk on the Bay! This great area in Norfolk's real estate market has seen dramatic price corrections over the past few years. Looking for a single family home? First time home buyer in Norfolk? How about a waterfront property with 3 bedroom 2 bath and almost 1300 square feet on Little Creek in East Ocean View? This home is listed for just $160,000! As a first time home buyer, you may qualify for the $8,000 credit from the government! This is a foreclosure so is being sold as is and repairs will likely be needed, but still!!! Only $160,000. Wow!

Not a fan of yard work? A condo might be right for you. If you are looking for bargains in the Norfolk homes for sale, consider another foreclosure just 2 blocks to the beach in Ocean View. This property is 2 bedroom, 2 bath and just under 1,000 square feet. It is one-level living with a fireplace, balcony, and looks great! With a low condo fee of $140, the price of $121,500 may be the bargain in real estate you are looking for!
