        <Name>Cameron Station Sales Report March 2008</Name>
        <Summary>Sales in Cameron Station, Alexandria, Virginia</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;h2 style="MARGIN-TOP: 2px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prediction:&amp;nbsp; Cameron Station sales are going to start heating up in the Spring.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Cameron Station -- Alexandria, VA" height="240" alt="Cameron Station -- Alexandria, VA" hspace="8" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/9/1/5/8/ar120544176485196.jpg" width="320" align="right" /&gt;Shaking off the Winter doldrums, &lt;strong&gt;the real estate market is starting to get busy in Alexandria, Virginia and notably in the Cameron Station neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt;, a premier community of townhouses, condos, and a smattering of single family homes.&amp;nbsp; Last night, after an early evening walk around the lake at Ben Brenman Park, a large city park adjacent to Cameron Station, my wife and I saw the first signs of Spring.&amp;nbsp; Flowers were budding, neighbors walking their dogs, and parents out in force with their babies in strollers and their bouncing toddlers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Spring is on its way" height="125" alt="Spring is on its way" hspace="5" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/2/6/2/9/ar120544195192624.jpg" width="188" align="left" /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So what's happening in the way of real estate?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;One thing's for certain -- the For Sale signs are popping up faster than the daffodils.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's an overview of the current market in Cameron Station:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Cameron Station entrance -- doesn't look like this now but will soon" height="218" alt="Cameron Station entrance -- doesn't look like this now but will soon" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/4/0/7/9/ar12054420197042.jpg" width="638" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recent Sales&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;February was a slow month for sales in Cameron Station.&amp;nbsp; Only 3 homes sold.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table class="MsoTableGrid" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="546" border="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="139"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Address&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="95"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Beds/Baths&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="110"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Asking Price&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="93"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Sales Price&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="108"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Date Sold&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="139"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;176 Martin Lane&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="95"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2/2.5&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="110"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;$510,000&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="93"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;$510,000&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="108"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;February 15&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="139"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;113 Martin Lane&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="95"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;3/2.5&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="110"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;$545,000&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="93"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;$527,000&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="108"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;February 22&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="139"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;252 Murtha Street&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="95"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;4/4.5&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="110"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;$754,900&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="93"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;$738,000&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="108"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;February 29&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, there are &lt;strong&gt;also 7 properties in Cameron Station currently under contract pending sale.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; We won't know what the final sales price is on these until they go to settlement.&amp;nbsp; However, the average listing price of those under contract is $615,829.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The great news&lt;/strong&gt; if you are thinking about selling your Cameron Station home is that &lt;strong&gt;homes are selling FAST!&amp;nbsp; The 7 currently under contract averaged only 23 days on the market.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; You might read in the newspaper or hear on television that homes are not selling quickly.&amp;nbsp; Just remember -- real estate is local.&amp;nbsp; Locally, in Cameron Station, homes are selling very fast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, if you are planning to buy a home in Cameron Station, take note that when you find the home you want, you may have to act quickly before another eager buyer scoops it up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Cameron Station townhouses" height="258" alt="Cameron Station townhouses" hspace="5" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/5/7/9/6/ar120544217969758.jpg" width="193" align="right" /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Currently Available Cameron Station Homes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The good news for buyers is that there are plenty of choices available.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt; As of March 13, 2008, there are 21 townhouses, 1 single family home, and 20 condominiums on the market in Cameron Station.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; No matter your price range and style preference, there's likely an option for you. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 22 townhouses range in asking price from $575,000 to $850,000 with an average price of just slightly over $700K.&amp;nbsp; The one single family home is on the market for $1.125 million.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's some of the available inventory of Cameron Station townhouses&lt;/strong&gt;
