Hi Everyone, If you live in Northern Virginia, you are ready for the spring.  Last month gave us record snow falls not seen in the area for over 100 years.   The appraisal and all business started out slow for the month due to the 3-4 feet of snow on the ground and the time it took to shovel and plow our way out.  Once the snow storm was over, the business storm began.  We thank all of our loyal customers for providing us with another great month.  One of our biggest yet!   It was not easy appraising houses in 3-4 feet of snow, but we were proud to get the job done, and get it done correctly.  We are looking forward to a strong spring.  Interest rates are very low and the housing market should be extremely busy as buyers try to take advantage of the extended house buying credits from the governement!!  Lets make it happen!!!

Lots of snow coming down.  2 feet on the ground and another 1 foot expected.  All orders will be completed as quickly as possible once we can resume inspections.

Capuano Appraisals is happy to announce that we had a fantastic November thanks to our great clients and business associates.   December is also already looking to be very strong.  Interest rates are currently very near the all time lowes set in the spring which will likely cause increased demand over the next several months as people take advantage of the low rates.  In addition, home sales in the area appear to be very strong and many buyers are taking advantage of the extended government incentives.    We at Capuano Appraisal wish everyone a Merry Christmas and continued success into the New Year!!
