Q1 2015 Nest Report – “How’s The Market?”
Without a doubt, one of the top three questions we’re asked as real estate agents is “how’s the market?”
What Did The Q3 2014 Real Estate Market Look Like?
The Nest Report, our quarterly look at the real estate market in the New River Valley, is out for the third quarter of 2014. I wrote in August that the second quarter of 2014 was different than expected, and at the time we didn’t really know why. I suspected it was because of a very short summer for Montgomery County Public Schools, and from what we’ve seen in Q3 and now, Q4, I think that that was, in fact, much of the reason for the slow down.
2014 Nest Report – What Did The Market Do In The Second Quarter

A 3.8% Real Estate Tax Is Not In The Health Care Law
Please remember – there is no 3.8% real estate sales tax in the new health care law … ————- 
It’s been written here before. It’s simple, really – don’t make more than $200,000 (or $250,000 if you’re filing jointly). But since you shouldn’t be restricted to how much you make – and if you make that much, congratulations! – here’s the deal. Remember that little health care debate that raged in 2010?
