he majority of Northern Virginia’s public schools are T members of the Virginia High School League. The VHSL is based in Charlottesville and is the largest governing body for prep sports in the state. Public schools are divided into three classi- fications of competition in the state: AAA, AA and A, with all schools in Fairfax Coun- try representing AAA, the largest. Four districts — the Concorde, Liberty, National and Patriot — comprise the North- ern Region, which is one of four such clas- sifications in AAA (the Eastern, Northwest and Central are the others). This athletic season marks a significant change, too, for the Northern Region’s landscape with Hayfield, Fairfax and W.T. Woodson all shifting districts. Hayfield will rotate from the Patriot to the National, with W.T. Woodson leaving the Liberty to fill in behind. In W.T. Woodson’s Liberty slot, Fairfax will shift from the Concorde, which now only has six teams. Here are the re-aligned districts for the 2009-10 athletic season: ❖ Concorde: Centreville, Chantilly, Herndon, Oakton, Westfield, Robinson ❖ Liberty: Stone Bridge, Langley, Madi- son, Marshall, McLean, South Lakes, Fairfax, Jefferson File Photo ❖ National: Edison, Falls Church, J.E.B.

It’s the first question I get asked and it’s a million dollar question! Buyers: It’s Great! Sellers: It’s Great! • Lower interest rates • There is a shortage of quality listings and an abundance of buyers. • Affordable home prices • Foreclosures are no longer flooding the market, depressing prices. • $8,000 tax credit (true credit) • Properties in the right condition with the right price are generating multiple offers in multiple price brackets. Things to know to help you-Buyers: • Prices are climbing in some areas. • Get your financing in order FIRST with a quality lender (get fully approved). • Look past the homes current condition and try to see what it could be. • Do your inspections (foreclosure properties are in “as is” condition- Things to know to help you-Sellers: understand what you are buying). • Be patient! You might have to write on multiple properties before you get one • Pay attention to your curb appeal. accepted (lower price brackets are extremely competitive). • Make the necessary repairs to make your home look cared for. • But then… Be ready to move quickly when you see something you really like. • Price it competitively (not what you think it was worth 5 years ago). • Short sale properties are difficult transactions and could take 90-120 days to work out (plan accordingly). Choosing a quality Realtor is always your first step! Please feel free to call me if you need help with your buying or selling goal! Remember, you each have a goal: Sellers want to sell and Buyers want to buy! Giving back to the communities we service is very important to Long & Foster and to me personally. I would like to thank the agents of my Centreville Long & Foster office for raising money to support two very worthy causes this year! The agents joined Centreville’s Relay for Life to support the American Cancer Society and sponsored a fundraiser to support the Centreville Community Foundation’s Scholarship Fund which awards scholarships to the local high school students based on outstanding community service. The agents in those two events, raised $8,500 to give back to the community! Thank you all! 703-631-3200 • INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN REAL ESTATE? • 703-631-3200
