Our Unique Market

Wow!! We discuss the level of appreciation we have for our market virtually daily. Our market is insulated from what most of the rest of the country is experiencing. The national unemployment rate is nearly 8%, we are less than half of that number. We are soon to become the financial center of the US with the actions the Federal government has taken recently - creating more jobs which builds upon the great employment base we already have in place. We are conveniently located to the culture of Washington DC, the great diversity this affords us, plus we have the ease of getting to the mountains and the wineries in that region as well as have the ability to get to the ocean in a few short hours. Add that to the 3 International Airports, the high level of education per capita, and some of the high wages in the US and it is easy to see why the real estate market is so robust in Northern Virginia. As we have mentioned before, RE/MAX Gateway is off to its best start in our 8 years of business - as a matter of fact, in February, we had our most sales ever in one month and as we all know, it is a short month!
