Lake Ridge VA Real Estate News

Today is a good day, it is my 55th birthday and I am taking part of the day off. Imagine that?

I will not be celebrating alone. You see I am an identical twin. My twin sister Patty Blackwelder and I work together everyday in our family real estate teamhere in Woodbridge Virginia.  True!

Patty's husband is Erick Blackwelder my partner and Patty is our office manager/administrative assistant. She keeps both Erick  and I on task daily.  We formed a family real estate team back in the 90's when Erick realized he preferred working with buyers and he knew I was a full time agent, however I loved working with sellers. It was a match made in heaven and we have been very successful for decades assisting buyers and sellers in the Prince William County Virginia area.  Patty and I were thrilled to be working side by side again. Throughout our lives we have worked together and we live less than two miles apart. Interesting as well,  we share many of the same friends. 

Can you tell who's who?

 A true sign that you are old: When all your photo's when you were little are wrinkled or in black and white!

We've always toyed with using this marketing campaign.

That's right folks. Normally you may play phone tag with you busy Realtor as they are in the field doing what they do best, helping people buy and sell real estate. However when a massive snow storm hits...nobody moves. Not even your Realtor.

                                                                                                     So this weekend is the perfect opportunity to pick up the phone and call.

If you have been thinking of selling your home or buying one this spring and you have questions or concerns about the process. Chances are excellent your local Realtor will have plenty of time to talk with you. Most full time Realtors have computers at home and can access the MLS System to be able to answer your questions, send you a market snapshot of what's selling, what's not and what opportunities are available to you. Planning ahead is the key to success when buying or selling real estate.

So when cabin fever strikes this weekend. "Instead of turning on the TV and watching old reruns, or giving into baking a big batch of homemade cookies. Pick up the phone and call your Local Realtor and use this snow storm wisely.

Spring Market is just around the corner and whether you are a buyer or a homeowner getting ready to sell, this is the perfect time to call your local Realtor. Both Erick Blackwelder and I will be available for you this weekend.

There is a community in Manassas called Blooms Crossing that seems to be all a buzz these days. The community was constructed in the early 90's and features Single Family homes large and small as well as townhomes, elevator condo's and and huge sense of community. Take  a drive up Manassas Drive towards General Ridge Golf of Manassas Park Elementary and you will begin to see why everyone is fighting to get into Blooms Crossing. The yards are pristine, the grounds well groomed and it's a sidewalk community.
The not uncommon to see the bicycle police riding down the main drag.

For example this home photographed below was build by Miller and Smith. This is Primrose....this community oozes the charm of yesteryear! Picket fenced yard, and just the most charming street scape's. This appears the kind of neighborhood that is very close knit.

Then there are several styles of townhomes. Garage townhomes, townhomes with triple bumpouts and some range in size of 2300 sq feet or larger.

You'll love the wide boulevard type streets. On any given evening you will find kids riding bikes, or people walking the dogs or just chatting with neighbors in the front yards. Take a drive, I think you'll be surprised.

This is a mid range home in Blooms Crossing, some can run as small as 2000 square feet on the first two level up to 3600 square feet on the first two levels. This community has seen it's fair share of Short Sale and Foreclosures homes this year. I have shown homes that are in awesome move in condition to homes like the one here that needs a lot of TLC. Blooms Crossing area just a half mile from the Manassas VRE Station. So if you are searching for a lifestyle where the kids go to neighborhood schools, where there is abundant shopping nearby, where you have easy access to the Prince William Parkway and the VRE Station to get into to DC daily...then take a drive.

Nearby is Signal Hill Park...again the Prince William County park authority does an amazing job keeping with the grounds. You feel like your in the country however there are services all around.

The  Manassas Park VRE Station is just around the corner. Living in Blooms Crossing is all about creating a lifestyle that works for you and your family. Take a look at the VRE Scheduleto see if it would line up with your work schedule. If it does, you might want to explore your buying opportunities in Blooms Crossing. It's a gem of a community hidden back off Liberia drive behind the huge Wallmart Shopping area. Don't forget to visit the Manassas Friends and Visitors website

Don't forget to visit two of the local hot spots. Tony's Pizza and Nathan's Dairy Bar. I recently wrote a post about both. They are just five minutes from Blooms Crossing. Trust me you will become a regular!
