In a seller's market, it means the supply cannot keep up with the demand. Put whatever price you want on your home because after all, in a seller's market, it's not as much about price as it is "Location. Location. Location."

Well guess what? In case you've been hiding under a rock, we're in a buyer's market right now…NOT a seller's market! And a buyer's market is exactly the opposite of a seller's market. It means we have an over supply for the amount of demand. We have more sellers than we do buyers!

When this happens, your house has become a commodity. And like any other commodity, it's all about the price. Here's a great analogy . . . "If you bought stock last year and that stock was worth $49 per share and today you need to sell that same stock and it is now worth $25 per share, what could we sell it at? Twenty-five is right."

How do you know if your home is over priced for the market? Well here's what the National Association of Realtors has to say:

• If you've had 10 or more showings with no offers, you're at least 5% over priced
• If you've been on the market 2-3 weeks and you've had no showings, you're at least 10% over priced

If you're a homeowner thinking of selling, this may not be the news you were hoping for, but I believe, "If I don't tell my sellers the truth, it's like I'm taking money from their bank accounts."

We didn't create this market, but as Realtors, our job is to properly communicate the numbers as best as possible so our sellers can make the decisions that are best for them.

Granite counters? Check. Hardwood floors? Check. Stainless steel appliances? Check. Lots of closet space? Check. Near the metro? Check.

What about the view? How about the best view in the D.C. area!

When you purchase a condo or townhouse at Bromptons at Memorial Place, Memorial Overlook, Prospect House, or The Weslie, you can bet your bottom dollar that you'll be the one hosting your friends for the supreme view of the July 4th Washington D.C. fireworks extravaganza over the monuments on the National Mall.

Situated in the Rosslyn area of Arlington adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery and across the street from the Marines Corps National Memorial aka the Iwo Jima Memorial, these condos and townhouses offer stylish living and a view that truly cannot be rivaled. You'll pay a premium for these housing options but entertaining and bragging rights over the magnificent views from your new home are not the only benefits. Each of these homes are a short walk from the Rosslyn Metro station on the orange and blue lines, providing an easy commute to D.C., the Pentagon, Old Town Alexandria, or west to Falls Church and Vienna. The expansive grounds of the Iwo Jima Memorial will feel like your backyard and provides a relaxing spot to sunbathe, people watch, exercise, and just relax.

During the warmer months, a 20-30 minute walk through Rosslyn and over the Key Bridge will get you to the bustling Georgetown, home of the namesake university, and fantastic restaurants, eclectic shops, and exciting nightlife. Rosslyn itself is the gateway to North Arlington and a walk up Wilson Boulevard will bring you to the diverse communities of Courthouse, Clarendon, Virginia Square, and Ballston.

As if location, location, location & view were not enough, each of these properties offer luxury living galore. Some of the Bromptons at Memorial Place townhouses have their own elevators! Gourmet kitchens, marble tiles and large living areas come standard here. At Memorial Overlook, 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condos offer floor plans of over 2000 square feet, garage parking, and a private fitness center. The unobstructed D.C. memorial views from Prospect House condos' floor to ceiling windows are famously unparalleled. Buy a million dollar view and get the condo thrown in at no extra charge! With only 42 units in the entire building, The Weslie offers the same great views as Prospect House and a chance to know all your neighbors or maintain your privacy -- whatever you may wish.
