Tunnel Plan Backed

Denise Allen Realtor@ Chesapeake, Hampton Roads: Real Estate Agent in Chesapeake, VA

Regional lawmakers backed expansion of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel but have no plan to pay for it. Teh commitment to enlarge the tunnel is at least a step in the right direction. A bigger step would be for the legislature to man up and find a way to pay for the billions of dollars of need road infrastructor needed in our area.

Tornados and Value

Gene Allen Realtor Hampton Roads Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Virginia Beach, VA

Here is a real life question that the appraiser who appraised my listing didn't know at the moment but had to find out. When a tornado tears up your community is that a bad thing for value? If your comps are no longer comps does that affect value? If there aren't as many homes in the area does that raise value? (supply and demand). We had a F3 tornado go through Suffolk, VA a few days ago and some communities are more than half gone (no one was killed or severly injured). These are your typical subdivison built in the last ten years or so. Luckily the listing is not closing for a while but it could have been bad. The appraiser has to go back out and make sure the house is still there and not damaged. The tornado went by a half block away. Oh my.

Tornado In Suffolk, Va

Gene Allen Realtor Hampton Roads Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Virginia Beach, VA

What do you do when you are watching tv and the weatherman breaks in with a developing story about a tornado. I moan and groan and wait for him to go away. He talks about a funnel cloud in Norfolk by the Naval Station. He shows a video of a funnel cloud in Portsmouth and then he mentions the Sentara Obici Hospital in Suffolk. I thought he was going to mention that they were bring casualties there but he said they were spared the brunt of the tornado. Oh no I thought out loud. I have a listing right behind the hospital. As the devastation appeared on the tv I could only hope that the sellers were safe and sound. Hill Point Farms and Lakes Edge looked more like a war zone then a peaceful subdivision. The tornado skipped and jumped and missed my listing but not the street my sellers lived on. Thank goodness for them and I am saying a prayer for the rest of the families. No reports of fatalities. I don't have any pictures but I am sure we have all seen the devastation brought on by a tornado.

New Method For Home Valuations On The Water

Denise Allen Realtor@ Chesapeake, Hampton Roads: Real Estate Agent in Chesapeake, VA

Some people are upset with the City Assessor Maria Kattmann. She has a new approach for assessing waterfront properties this year. Some of the assessments went up 200 percent. I bet the phone was ringing off the hook at her office. The approach seems to make sense but you would think maybe a gradual increase would have been better received. She values the properties depending on the type of water. Of course big river views get bigger assessments then small tidal creek views do. So far so good. She may have some more explaining to do but the approach from here looks solid.
