It was a picturesque scene Friday morning: the Middleburg Film Fest producers were sitting side-by-side in front of a roasting fireplace in the library of Salamander Resort. The two women, Sheila Johnson and Susan Koch, were flashing prideful smiles. Their baby was underway.

The inaugural film festival had launched a little more than 12 hours earlier with an exclusive viewing of Alexander Payne's “Nebraska” at the resort.

For Johnson, the CEO of Salamander, this was her second extravagance introduced to the cozy Loudoun County town of Middleburg in a few-month span. In August, the much-heralded Salamander opened after years of delays and setbacks.

Johnson never wavered, of course. Salamander was going to happen, and it was going to happen in Middleburg.

The same can be said for the film festival.

In the October issue of the Atlantic, author Richard Florida argues that the recession created a series of winning and losing cities and regions in America and that the Washington area is one of the biggest winners.

Florida, author of “The Rise of the Creative Class,” suggests that because of its wealth, education and growing technology sector, Washington’s economy could overtake Chicago and Los Angeles on some measures.

That brings us to Washington, D.C. As the urbanist Aaron Renn wrote recently, Washington is well on its way to becoming America’s “second city,”

Buying a foreclosed home can seem like a dream. What could be better than getting a home for a fraction of the market value? Some may even say that the deals sound like they could be too good to be true. In some cases, those doubters aren't too far off the mark. There are some hidden dangers in buying foreclosure properties that, if you're not aware of them, could be disheartening and disappointing. If you are pursuing this route in buying your new home, be sure to look out for these hazards and hidden costs.

StoneSprings Hospital Center broke ground Oct. 23 on a new 243,000-square-foot facility located off Route 50 in Dulles South.

HCA Virginia Health System is set to open the hospital in December 2015.

The plot of land where the building will sit, which used to be Glascock Airport, will eventually house 124 beds, a full-service 24-7 emergency department, 10 labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum beds, and a cardiac catherization lab.

Even though no one at KCM actively lists or sells real estate, some of our readers believe that there is an inherent bias toward the real estate community in our writing. For that reason, we want to quote a third party source today. Forbes, in their online edition last week, spoke to the importance of buying a home now rather than waiting.

The article, Should You Buy a Home Now or Pay More Later?, explains:

“With mortgage rates creeping up toward 5% as 2013 draws to a close, potential home buyers have some decisions to make — and soon.

As the first construction phase of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail project nears completion, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is progressing toward the start of major construction on the second phase of the rail line.

The authority will soon begin bidding another construction contract to support the second phase, and initial site work and testing is proceeding.

“Construction is expected to begin in the spring, but we are quite literally laying the groundwork today,” said MWAA President and CEO Jack Potter.

The $2.6 billion first phase of the Silver Line includes four stops in Tysons Corner and one at Wiehle Avenue in Reston. Workers are putting the finishing touches on those stations, which are still expected to open early next year, according to Pat Nowakowski, the executive director for the rail project.

Many now realize that it is a great time to buy a home.  It might also be an opportune time to sell your house.  Here are the five reasons we believe now may be a perfect time to put your house on the market.

Over the last five years, homeownership has lost some of its allure as a financial investment. As homeowners suffered through the housing bust, more and more began to question whether owning a home was truly a good way to build wealth. A recent study by the Federal Reserve formally answered this question.

Here are some of the findings revealed in their report:

Silver Line Changes Come to Tysons Corner      
 
Substantial Phase 1 Completion Anticipated in November
 

Have you been to Tysons Corner lately where the evidence of the coming opening of the Silver Line dominates?

From atop the six miles of aerial bridges, or guideways, that support the tracks and stations, the face of old Tysons, like the low-slung suburban offices, meets the Tysons of the future; high-rise development  is under construction adjacent to the Metrorail stations.  

 


This is clearly evident along Route 123 at the Tysons Corner Metrorail Station near The Galleria and Tysons Corner Center where high rise offices, a residential structure and a hotel are being built. Along Route 7, between Spring Hill Road and WestPark Drive/Gosnell Road,  a high-rise apartment building towers above the Container Store.       

The four Tysons station structures are complete and finishing touches, including painting, lighting and signage installations, are taking place. Wiring is in place awaiting the arrival of the automatic fare card collection machines. Escalators and elevators are being tested and test trains can be seen traveling through stations during the on-going testing.

Buying a home is likely the biggest purchase you will make, and even more likely a purchase that will require a loan. When dealing with a financial commitment such as this, understanding how to get the lowest possible interest rate could mean a difference of thousands of dollars. Home loans are a complicated business, so here are a few tips to help you shop for the lowest interest rate.

Four businesses in Middleburg and one in Upperville recently were spotlighted in CNN Money magazine as a “great place to start” with Virginia's secret wine tasting destinations.

Boxwood Estate, a 21-acre vineyard, was dubbed “the great dame” of Middleburg vineyards by the magazine.

“This winery was designed by Jacobsen Architecture, a D.C.-based firm also known for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's home in Martha's Vineyard. Boxwood is one of the most elegant vineyards in the region, so don't miss the chance to explore. The circular cave, where wines age in a ring of French oak barrels, is especially striking,” the article reads.

Six miles away, Chrysalis Vineyards is touted as a destination to get the best wine for your buck.

There has been a lot written about how buying a home is less expensive than renting one in most parts of the country. Rents are skyrocketing and homes are still at great prices. These two situations are also causing some sellers to consider renting their home instead of selling it. After all, a homeowner can get great rental income now and perhaps wait until house values increase even further before selling.

This logic makes sense in some cases. We at KCM believe strongly that residential real estate is a great investment right now. However, if you have no desire to actually become an educated investor in this sector, you may be headed for more trouble than you were looking for.

Before renting your home, you should answer the following questions to make sure this is the right course of action for you and your family.

Fresh off of a vote that extended its contract with Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology for one more year, the Loudoun County School Board members are beginning to delve deeper into the possibility of developing the county's own facility for advanced and technical education courses.

The Curriculum and Instruction Committee met with officials from the science and technical education departments Oct. 2 to develop a vision for the project, which would house the Academy of Science and the C.S. Monroe Technology Center in the same facility.

The combining of the two facilities would allow each to double in size and house roughly 1,500 students.

Committee Chairman Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) was joined by committee members Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) and Bill Fox (Leesburg) at the meeting along with fellow School Board members Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) and Tom Reed (At Large).

The facility – tentatively named the Loudoun Advanced Technology Academy – will have a vision which emphasizes programs specializing in the STEM subjects, but most importantly will provide Loudoun students with a facility and resources to develop them into leaders and innovators of the 21st century.

Home buyers in the ever growing Dulles South area will soon have a new home hitting the market that holds special meaning to the students of Monroe Technology Center students.

Six years ago, Monroe Technology Center students began building a home to learn skills in the fast growing field of home construction.

On Sept. 27, students, faculty and Loudoun County Public Schools administrators attended the formal dedication ceremony in the driveway of the home.

To build this home, students fought through a recession, bad weather and other issues that postponed the finishing of the project. This particular house is the ninth home since the inception of the program in 1988.

While this home took six years to construct, the other homes took approximately two years to build.
