If you have been anxiously anticipating opening day at the new Hounds stadium in One Loudoun, you're wait is going to be much longer.  Last week the VIP Entertainment, who had been working to build the stadium, had to pull out of the deal for financial reasons.  Whether baseball will ultimately come to One Loudoun will depend on getting someone to step in
to take over the pursuit.

There is a lot of debate about whether to buy a home or rent one.  No matter
how you look at this issue it always makes sense to own verse rent. 
The only exception is if you are only planning to live in the area for
two years or less.

In Trulia's 2014 Rent vs. Buy Report, they explained that homeownership
remains cheaper than renting throughout the 100 largest metro areas in the
United States; ranging from an average of 5% in Honolulu, all the way to
66% in Detroit, and 38% Nationwide!

If you look at the Trulia report you will see that home maintenance is
included in the comparison.  The fundamentals of the report show that the
monthly cost of a mortgage is lower than that of rent, rent increases
faster than inflation while mortgage costs remain the same for the
duration of a loan (fixed rate loan) and home owners get tax breaks which
reduce the cost of owning.

The housing market is changing and it is expected that interest rates and
home prices will continue to rise throughout the foreseeable future which
might someday make renting a better choice.  But for today, it's better to
own than rent.

Lots of houses are selling right now.  If your house is on the market and
not selling there's a good chance it's because it isn't priced correctly.
 As odd as it might seem, homes for sale have a shelf life similar to a
fresh baked loaf of bread.  The longer it sits on the market the lower the
price might go.
