It is people like you that have made this profession so enjoyable and rewarding for me. You see, if it weren’t for the effort you put forth in recommending me to your friends, family, co-workers or anyone you know who is looking to buy or sell, I wouldn’t be where I am now.
 
I sincerely appreciate your support and thank you in advance for your continued referrals in 2015.
 
In this very busy world of ours, we seldom take the time to express our appreciation for the efforts of those who help us in many ways. I wanted to make sure you knew how very appreciative I am of friends and clients like you.
 
Happy Holidays
and all the best for the New Year
from my Family to yours.

Woodbridge VA One of A Kind Holiday Light Show

Woodbridge VA 
One of A Kind Holiday Light Show 

Every year again the home owner at 15615 Bushey Drive off Cardinal Drive put up a wonderful holiday light show in Woodbridge VA. When I went there the other day Santa handed out candy canes and it was all around a great time. The lights are simply great.

Just watch the video as we drive through the North Pole display. When I got there spontaneously the other night there were so many visitors. There was a long line of cars waiting to drive through to see the lights. This is a really great thing to go visit with your kids or simply take your partner on a date night. It is a lovely display.

It seems like every year I go to see the Holiday Light show at 15615 Bushey Drive they are outdoing themselves from the previous season. Just watch the video to see for yourself, but please know the video doesn’t do this great display justice. You have to actually see it in person to get the full pictures. It is so much better in person. 


Here is another Woodbridge VA Holiday Light Show must see. I did a blog about this one recently and took a video and also added holiday music. Click here to see my previous blog. 


I also took pictures of Holiday Light Decorations as seen on my way home. Check out the pictures I took right here.

No I do admit moving while everyone else is celebrating the holidays and exchanging gifts isn’t something for everyone, but just imagine you are giving yourself the greatest gift of all a NEW Home.

Finally put up my Christmas Tree

Finally put up my Christmas Tree, by Claudia S. Nelson with Keller Williams Realty in Woodbridge VA 

I finally managed to putting up my Christmas Tree. Yes I called it Christmas Tree. I could have said Holiday Tree, but lets face it since I was a kid we called it Christmas Tree, well we called it Weihnachtsbaum.

What do you call your tree?

It took me a little longer this year to get the tree up, but I love seeing it up and I love having my house decorated and getting into the holiday spirit. I will be baking Christmas Cookies this weekend with my friend. Love baking Christmas Cookies. I shouldn’t be eating them but oh well, will be heading to the gym a little more, so I can eat more of these delicious Christmas Cookies. I will be making the same cookies my mom used to make. Love them. Although for some reason they always turn out better when my mom makes them. Oh well.

What are your favorite holiday cookie recipes?

Lake Ridge Woodbridge VA Real Estate Market Update – December 2014, by Claudia S. Nelson with Keller Williams Realty in Lake Ridge. CALL 571-285-4319 or TEXT 202-299-7671

Another year is almost over and look what happened in the Lake Ridge Woodbridge Real Estate Market. The above graph speaks for itself. The median home price in the Lake Ridge Woodbridge VA 22192 Zip Code has been going up continuously. There are hardly any distressed sales any longer which simply means more home sellers now have positive equity in their homes and are able to outright sell their home. Previously when a home owner needed to sell due to a divorce they pretty much didn’t have any other options but to short sale as most likely they were under water. No in the event of a divorce or any other live event home owner actually can sell their home outright. In most cases even make a good profit from the sale of their home.

If you are living in the Lake Ridge Woodbridge VA area and are curious to find out what your Lake Ridge Woodbridge VA Home is worth in Today’s Real Estate Market you can find out right here.
