As a Lake of the Woods resident since 2008 (as a weekender and a full time resident), I’d like to share my journey to the Lake. My husband, John, and I were interested in finding the perfect location for a second/vacation home. Initially, we were open to looking at a beach location, as well as a lake. We began searching in the summer of 2007 through the spring of 2008 for our getaway.
We decided fairly early on that the beach just wasn’t for us because of distance from Northern Virginia and lack of activity during “non-peak season,” we began focusing on the lakes in the area. Having made the trek to Lake Anna and Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia, and Deep Creek Lake in Maryland, something wasn’t “perfect” for us regarding each location. Lake Anna was too busy for us, and Smith Mountain Lake and Deep Creek Lake were both too far for us to enjoy a home regularly, and we also didn’t care for how few conveniences were located close by (ie, grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants, etc).
Then we remembered having visited Lake of the Woods years ago, when we had been a guest of a friend. After our first house-hunting visit to the lake in early spring of 2008, we knew where we wanted to be. Lake of the Woods, as a gated, secured community, gave us peace of mind as weekenders. The community offered us close proximity (1 hr 15 min from Reston), tons of conveniences, as we residents are supported by a grocery store, pharmacy, gas stations, cleaners, nail salons, automotive services, doctors, a library, a post office, many restaurants, and a brand new elementary school-all within 2 1/2 miles of the gates), over 50 clubs and organizations in which to participate, a fabulous clubhouse overlooking the lake that serves excellent food, and a clear, pristine lake!! Oh…did I mention the PGA golf course and equestrian center within the community?? And the Community Center, and the non-denominational Church within the gates? Or the walking trails? And what about the wildlife!
We purchased our home in June of 2008, and after that first year (52 weekends), we realized that we had been to our home at Lake of the Woods 51 of those 52 weekends! That’s when we decided that the “allure of the lake” was just too great to resist and made the change from weekenders to full-time residents!

If you have been waiting for the right moment to buy a home, now may be that time. Mortgage rates have been dropping recently, and that creates exciting opportunities for buyers. We want to share what is happening in the market right now, what it means for you, and how we can guide you through the process.
What’s Going On in the Market
As of early September 2025, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has fallen to about 6.2%.
The 15-year fixed rate has also eased to around 5.60%.
Mortgage applications for home purchases have been increasing, showing that more buyers are stepping back into the market.
Sellers are adjusting as well, with more inventory and price flexibility showing up in many areas.
What It Means for Home Buyers
These lower rates can make a big difference in your home search:
Greater Purchasing Power Even a small drop in rates can lower your monthly payment. That means you may be able to afford more home for the same budget, or simply enjoy lower costs each month.
Improved Affordability When rates ease, the total cost of borrowing goes down. This shift helps make homes that once felt out of reach more attainable.
More Choices As more sellers list their homes, buyers have more options. With greater inventory and less pressure from higher rates, you have more opportunity to find a home that fits your needs.
Better Negotiating Position In many markets, sellers are offering concessions or showing flexibility. Combined with lower borrowing costs, this can help buyers secure a deal that works in their favor.
Why Having the Right Team Matters
We know how quickly the housing market can shift. That is why working with us matters. We keep a close eye on rates, buyer activity, and inventory trends. More importantly, we listen to your needs and help you explore every option available. Whether it is identifying neighborhoods, reviewing homes that meet your criteria, or walking you through the buying process step by step, our job is to make sure you feel confident in your decisions.
What You Should Do Next
If you’ve been thinking about buying, now is a strong time to take action. Here’s what we recommend:
Get pre‑approved so you know exactly what you can afford.
Let us show you homes in neighborhoods you like. With more inventory you might find your dream home quicker.
Compare mortgage offers. Even a small difference in rate can save thousands of dollars over life of loan.
Ask us questions. We are happy to walk you through all parts of the process and help you avoid costly missteps.
Ready to Explore Your Options?
The recent drop in mortgage rates is more than good news in the headlines — it is an opportunity for buyers to take action. If you are ready to see what this means for you, reach out to us today. Our team is here to guide you, answer your questions, and help you find the home that is right for you.

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news about today’s real estate market! Home inventory, the number of homes available for sale, is on the rise, creating a vibrant and dynamic landscape for both buyers and sellers across the country. As of mid-2025, the supply of existing homes has climbed to approximately 4.7 months, the highest since 2016, with active listings soaring by over 30% in the first half of the year. This increase signals a healthy, balanced market that’s full of opportunities for everyone. Let’s explore why this is happening and how it benefits you, whether you’re buying or selling.
Why Inventory Is Growing
This surge in available homes reflects a market that’s adapting to new opportunities. More homeowners are confidently listing their properties, inspired by life changes like new jobs, growing families, or the desire for a fresh start. The “lock-in effect,” where owners hesitated to sell due to low mortgage rates, is fading as economic conditions stabilize, giving sellers the confidence to move forward. Meanwhile, new home construction is booming, with builders adding fresh, modern homes to the market, pushing new-home supply to nearly 10 months in some areas. This combination of existing and new homes is creating a robust selection, with inventory growing steadily for over 20 months and surpassing pre-pandemic levels in many regions.
This isn’t a sign of a slowing market, it’s a sign of vitality! The market is moving toward balance, easing the “stuck” feeling that once made finding or selling a home feel like a challenge.
Great News for Buyers
For buyers, this growing inventory is a game-changer. With more homes to choose from, you have the freedom to find a property that truly matches your vision, whether it’s a cozy starter home or a spacious family retreat. Gone are the days of intense bidding wars and limited options. Today, you have the power to explore, compare, and negotiate with confidence. We’re seeing more sellers open to price adjustments, closing cost assistance, or even home upgrades, with price cuts on listings up significantly from pandemic peaks. This means better affordability and less pressure to compromise on your dream home.

Open houses are one of the best parts of the home search. They give you a chance to explore different spaces, see what’s out there, and get a real feel for what could be your next home. But with so many details competing for your attention, it’s easy to get sidetracked by the little things.
That’s where we come in. Our team knows how to help you focus on what matters most, spot the details that truly impact your lifestyle, and decide which things are worth a second look. Here’s what to keep in mind during your next open house.
Find a Floor Plan That Works for You
The way a home is laid out will affect how you live in it every day. As you walk through, think about how the rooms connect. Is the kitchen in a convenient location? Do the bedrooms offer enough privacy? Does the flow make sense for how you want to use the space?
Paint colors and light fixtures can be updated. Changing the floor plan is a much bigger project, so it’s worth paying close attention to how the home feels as you move through it.
Check That There’s Enough Storage
Storage might not be flashy, but it’s essential. Check closets, cabinets, the pantry, and any additional storage areas to see if they fit your needs. Having enough space for your belongings can make a big difference in how functional and comfortable a home feels over time.
We can also help you compare what’s typical for the area so you’ll know if a home is giving you more (or less) than the average.
Look for Signs the Home’s Been Cared For
A well-maintained home tells you a lot about how the previous owners cared for it. Check for things like clean baseboards, well-kept landscaping, and updated caulking in kitchens and bathrooms. On the other hand, make note of red flags such as stains on ceilings, musty odors, or cracks in the walls.
If you spot something that concerns you, we can help you decide whether it’s a quick fix, something to negotiate with the seller, or an issue worth investigating further.
Think About Easy Updates You Could Make
Sometimes you’ll walk into a home and notice carpet you’d replace, a wall color you’d change, or fixtures you’d upgrade. The good news? These are often easy updates.
Our team can help you determine whether those changes are minor projects or if they’re something you can negotiate into your offer. This way, you’ll know exactly what’s realistic before making a decision.
Explore the Neighborhood
An open house is the perfect time to see more than just the property. Drive or walk around the surrounding streets. Notice how well the other homes are cared for, the traffic flow, and the noise level.
We can also share insights about local schools, nearby parks, shopping, dining, and commute times; so you get the full picture before you make an offer. Picture yourself running errands, heading to your favorite coffee shop, or enjoying a weekend stroll. Does it feel like the right fit?
We’re Here to Help You Find the Right Fit
Knowing what to look for during an open house can save you time, help you focus, and make the buying process more enjoyable. We’ll be by your side through every tour, helping you weigh what’s important. If you’re ready to start your search, let’s connect. Together, we’ll find a home that checks all your boxes and feels like the right match for your lifestyle.
