This part of The Licata group history started about a year ago when a client approached us about selling a home in Arlington. A natural inclination would have been for the Licata Group to refer the client to one of the thousand or so Keller Williams Capital Properties agents. Then manage the transaction to ensure procedural standards were met. That’s when we hit upon an idea. Why not handle ourselves!
The Licata Group has, within the team, an agent holding Licensure in District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DMV). That gives us the right to practice real estate in all three jurisdictions. Moreover, The Licata Group is attached to a Stafford Market Center, one of eight market centers located in and around the Washington DC Metroplex.
How can The Licata Group do it, you may ask? Let’s look at this question from two different prospectives. First, from the brokerage prospective, The Licata Group can call on the associate brokers in every location to answer technical questions that may arise in any transaction. Ever mindful of the fact, that our representing agent must take the required continuing education to stay current and compliant. The brokerage centers also give us a physical location to meet up with clients.
A client might have a second point objection, of an agent not understanding the area or specific neighborhood. Certainly this is a valid point. But our experience has shown that artificial intelligence gives an agent the advantage of seeing and processing comprehensive neighborhood information. In addition, forty years of moving and relocation experience have taken us to just about every established neighborhood.
The value of all this lies in the ability to better synchronize the sale an old home and purchase of a new one. Each transaction handled by a different agent to maintain the integrity and compliance. Interested in learning more. We have references available for you. Just email dan@licatagroup.com.

The inventory shortage experienced by most regions of the country was evident in Lake of the Woods in 2018, as listings were down 13.9% over those in 2017. 234 sales were reported in our MLS in 2018, down from 294 in 2017 (a 19.6% decrease). New construction accounted for 11 of the 234 sales. The median sold price increased 4.56% year over year from $239,000 to $249,900.
Of the 234 total sales in 2018, only 15, or 6.4%, were either short sales or foreclosures.
At the height of the distressed real estate market in 2010, a whopping 43% of all sales were either short sales or foreclosures.
So let’s look at our steady growth over the past five years:
In 2014, the median sold price was $219,450, with 193 homes selling. Only 11.9% were distressed. Average days on market was 92.
In 2015, the total sales climbed to 247, with 15% being distressed. The total sales represented almost a 30% gain over 2014, and the median sales price dropped to $210,000.
In 2016, the market was quite flat compared to 2015 in regards to total sales, which held at 243 with a decrease in distressed sales to 11.1%. However, 2016 saw the median price jump to $225000, a healthy 7.1% increase.
In 2017, there were 294 total sales, a whopping 21.1% increase over 2016 with only 5.8% being distressed. The median sales price climbed to $239,000.
Average days on the market (DOM), which is the number of days it takes from the time a property is listed until it goes under contract, has steadily declined from 92 days in 2014 to 76 in 2018.
It’s also telling to note that a significant number of lots have sold in the past five years. From January 1, 2014-December 31, 2018, 177 lots exchanged, with 55 occurring in 2018.
New Construction has been climbing, as well. 2014 realized 18 new construction starts; in 2015, there were 41; in 2016, there were 28; in 2017, there were 30; and in 2018, there were 34.
In 2019, according to Fannie Mae, the Mortgage Bankers Association, and the National Association of Realtors, mortgage rates are expected to increase at a much slower pace than that in 2018. So far in 2019, they have actually decreased from the 4th quarter of 2018.
The prognosis for 2019 is excellent! In many areas of the country, inventory is rising. In LOW, there are 62 homes active on the market as of 1/26/2019. Last year in January, there were 55. More stable rates and more inventory should propel us to experience healthy sales and appreciation.
**All statistics have been obtained from BrightMLS, our local MLS, except for new construction starts, which were obtained from LOWA.

Family nights are important! In a world filled with social media and technology, work and sports ruling everyone, our lives can appear busier than they probably are. Sometimes, we need to step back and remember what is most important to us, our family. There are many different ways families spend time together. I remember when I was in high school, we would always have dinner together, no phones, no TV, no distractions. This was a requirement, it was our “family time” and I miss those days now! While some have too hectic lives to be able to sit together every night for a meal, they have 1 day or two a week in which the family gathers. It might be to watch a movie, play some board games, or just have dinner and catch up on each other’s ever changing lives.

Tim Edmond and Dan Potter met as undergrads at Princeton University and quickly bonded over their shared passion for the outdoors, Frisbee-golf, bowling, Neil Young and, most importantly, brewing and drinking good beer.
After graduation in 2007, they both took jobs in the corporate world but still got together on the weekends to brew beer and kick around ideas about how to live “the good life”. Dan came up with an idea in 2009 and finally in June of 2011, they said goodbye to their former jobs and founded a new craft brewing business based in Free Union, VA, Potter’s Craft Cider. All of the ciders made by the company start with locally-grown fruit from nearby orchards and family farms.
Potter’s First Cider Press
Although Tim and Dan did most of the hard labor and legwork themselves, they did seek assistance from the Central Virginia SBDC early-on for help with financing, legal structure and business planning, and more recently in development of an employee handbook.
Their work has paid off! Over the last eight years, the company has continued to grow and now offers a varieties of hard cider available in pubs and restaurants all over Virginia. Their own tasting room, the Cider Garden, is located in Belmont and is open almost every weekend.
Brew Masters!
Stop by Potter’s Craft Cider’s Cider Garden in Belmont [209 Monticello Rd, Charlottesville, VA 22902] and try a brew – or better yet, try a flight and taste a few! And know you are supporting a small business that believes in fresh home-grown ingredients, buying local and supporting other local businesses.
