Loudoun County Virginia in the Top Ten

Loudoun County Makes Top 10 List Again

It is always good to see Loudoun County getting the national publicity it deserves. Loudoun County in top ten. Who would've thunk it? I freely admit a strong bias. I have lived in Ashburn for the past 17 years and watched Ashburn grow up around me and my family. It is where we have chosen to raise our family and the areas continued success means a lot to me.

There will always be a number of contrarians that do not agree with me and my opinions of Loudoun County. It is safe to say Loudoun will continue to have strong employment numbers due to its proximity to the federal government. The one thing all contrarians seem to have in common is a lack of actual time spent inside of Loudoun County. If you have not been here for an extended period of time then you have not experienced everything has to offer.

I really enjoy Loudoun. It truly offers a bit of everything. From smaller more dense communities in the eastern portion all the way to the flowing pastures to the west there is really something for everyone. People that get active in the community will find greater enjoyment than those that do not. There are plenty of activities for children and families. Become a part of something and meet new people. If you need help getting involved let me know. All of that being said if you are looking for a new property in Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria give me a call. I was born in the area and know it like the back of my hand. I really enjoy helping people find their next home.

20148 or 20147 Ashburn Virginia Real Estate

Today I will compare and contrast both Ashburn, Virginia zip codes and their corresponding real estate markets to make sure new home buyers are fully educated while searching for their Ashburn, Virginia dream home. For those who forgot the 20147 area of Ashburn is older and  “more established” than 20148. This post gives an overview of 20148 or 20147 Ashburn Virginia Real Estate. If you are looking for mature landscape and tall trees you might find more housing options in the 20147 end of town. There are a few neighborhoods in the 20148 that actually have mature trees. Vantage Pointe, Estates of Forest Ridge and a small portion of Village of Waxpool have areas with mature trees. The majority of 20148 does not provide mature landscapes like those found in Ashburn Village, Broadlands and The Regency.

The 20147 also provides older schools that are more established. Broad Run High School predates the majority of Ashburn and Stone Bridge High School was built in 2000. The majority of the feeder schools are of the same vintage. In 20148 schools have been open less than ten years with some still being constructed.

20148 is home to Briar Woods High School (built in 2005) and the newly constructed Rock Ridge High School. Currently Briar Woods is quite popular and everything is relatively unknown about the new school. The majority of the feeder schools in 20148 are new as well. Newer schools have new staff and new principles and I think other parents will agree that it takes a few years to get everything straightened out. I hope everyone understands that I am in no way bashing new schools just stating they are indeed new. Make sure to investigate your school boundary attendance zones while you are searching for new homes in 20148 or 20147 Ashburn Virginia Real Estate. The attendance zoning is still subject to change and be changed again and again based on historical trends.  Ask your friends -- it is borderline ridiculous.

20147 communities have wonderful pools and parks. Ashburn Village has a top notch community gym available for all residents. Broadlands and Ashburn Farm offer some of the best pools in Ashburn. Brambleton pools are currently completely overcrowded although they have plans to build a few more in the coming years. Some Ashburn residents purchase summer memberships at Lifetime Fitness or Sport and Health to provide access to a pool during the summer season. The new pools at Willowsford (pictured below) do look amazing. Has anyone been in the pool at Willowsford? Let me know in the comments below. If you can get me in, even better. I absolutely love pools.

More Ashburn VA 20148

Those in 20148 might know of specific intersections that really need a stop light. All I can say from my experience is that they will come with time. And more time. And even more. I am so thankful the majority of busy Ashburn intersections now have stop lights. I know this is not true of all intersections that might need one but it is significantly better than it was in 2000. It took VDOT fourteen years to install a stop light at the dreaded four way stop on Ashburn Village Boulevard and Waxpool right by the Gold’s Gym. Things take time and if VDOT was involved they will often taken even more time.

And finally....

Ashburn is a great place. It is where I have lived for the past 17 years. I love it and I want to be able to see it grow even further as time goes by. There are excellent homes available in both 20148 or 20147 Ashburn Virginia Real Estate. If you are confused or have further questions about the local real estate market please do not wait and contact me to get started putting together your customized plan for real estate success.. I love meeting new people and helping them to find their new Ashburn, Virginia home - it really does not matter if it is in 20148 or 20147 Ashburn Virginia Real Estate.

Ashburn's Local Real Estate Expert Jeddie Busch

Welcome to SellingAshburn.com

Hello everyone and thanks for checking out my website.  My name is Jeddie Busch and I am a Realtor® in Ashburn and I proudly serve Loudoun and Fairfax counties in the great state of Virginia.   I have lived in Ashburn for the past 18 years (not to date myself at all) and have been able to watch firsthand while the area has grown up around me.  I remember when Brambleton was simply a nice idea, when Toll Brothers broke ground on Belmont Country Club and when the Ashburn Village  builders closed out.  Today Ashburn is drastically different than it was back then and so am I.  Today I am married with 3 active boys and three male dogs.  I am the only female in the house and it presents regular challenges but I am truly grateful for everything and everyone in my life. 

I wanted to say hello and let everyone know that I am a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.  I really enjoy the real estate business.  Some of my earliest memories were with my mom going on the Great Falls home tour and really being amazed by the quality of craftsmanship and the extreme attention to detail required to construct such fantastic homes.  It really does make sense for me to be involved in real estate professionally.  In addition to real estate I have worked for many years in both banking and finance.  I graduated from Virginia Tech and I also earned a MBA from Marymount University in Arlington.  This provides me with the requisite knowledge and ability to fully explain any financial questions that clients may have.  Once again welcome to my little corner of the Internet and feel free to contact me.  I would love the opportunity to help sell your home or show you what is currently available for purchase.

Technology is Everything

Check out the awesome home search on my website.  The searches are very intuitive, the pages load quickly and all pages are optimized for mobile devices.  No matter the device all features work as intended.  I understand technology and how important it is for today's savy home buyers and sellers.  Please feel free to check things out and sign up for an account so you can be sure to have access to the the most accurate source of local real estate listings.  

My Clients are Family

I am extremely lucky to have been given the privilege to work with such a wonderful group of people through the years.  My job has provided me the avenue to meet so many people that are now big parts of my life.  I take extreme pride in providing excellent customer service.  I treat all of my clients well -- all of the time.  I think of real estate as a customer service business.  If I cannot be responsive and attentive to my clients I know someone else will.  This means returning text messages, calls and emails in a timely manner.  It also means keeping my end of the bargain.  I am a firm believer in doing what you say you will do and being where you say you will be. 

I would love for the opportunity to work with you and learn your story as we work our way together through your real estate journey. Let me know how I can best help you and your family.
