Are we seeing a return to burb living???
We've been noticing this trend here in Richmond for several years.
Many of Kate's and my clients are younger and as their families grow, they are being drawn to houses with yards and homes with more space.
Conversely, when we hold open houses in the City, we get a fairly equal number of downsizers and young professionals looking.
It's sort of nice to see what you're actually seeing is also backed up by the data.
Another interesting little factoid... this year for the 1st time, the Richmond Metro area hit 1 million. That probably explains the traffic that we've seen building up. I live in the Stratford Hills area and generally go to Chippenham to get out of my neighborhood. It can take a L.O.N.G. time to turn left onto Chippenham, but I'm betting you are seeing it all over the metro area!

A Drone's Eyeview of Downtown RVA
Ok - so I admit it, I'm not a native born Richmonder - although I've lived here since the 3rd grade, and I was born in Hampton - so I am a Virginian.
What I've always loved about Richmond is we're
"Big Enough, but also Small Enough".
We can support - and do - all of the goodies of urban to rural living, but we aren't really overwhelmed with traffic and gridlock - other than in some pockets - like Short Pump on a Saturday afternoon! 
I can also easily say that the Richmond I knew as a kid, no longer exists.
While we aren't perfect, and we have our issues, there is a lively sense that we live in a happening place, which means we consistently hit national sources as a place that is a draw for folks. That's good for all of us!
I even had a couple buy he...

Well, Well, Well! We hit the national news AGAIN for our Foodie Chops!
I love to eat out - and do it more than I probably should - although - as I think about it,
nope... I enjoy every bite and sip!
I remember the days when we were dry (as in no wine/beer/cocktails), nothing was open on Sundays and getting something to eat after about 9pm was basically impossible.
Say no more - those days are long gone for good ole RVA!
We have just hit the news yet again for our wonderful restaurants.
The latest accolade is an article in... get this... Garden and Gun -
the hip magazine that has sort of taken off like a bolt of...

Ice Cream Social a Big Hit!
Every Summer Kate and I host a pop-up Ice Cream social for our friends and clients.
We always ask everyone to bring school supplies - which tend to veer towards the pre-school and elementary age. This year we were delighted to instead get a great collection that was perfect for high schoolers.
My sister-in-law teaches ESL and English at Meadowbrook HS, so she and her fellow teachers were happy to show off some of the haul! Come join us next Summer!
