This week, the U.S. Census Bureau released estimates indicating that Fairfax County now has the highest median income in the country, edging just over $100K for 2006!  Fairfax County and Loudoun County are in a fierce competition for the richest county in the country – With the national median being $48,451, both Fairfax at $100,318 and Loudoun at $99,371 come in at more than double. Neighboring counties are not doing poorly either with Arlington reporting in at $87,350, Prince William at $80,783 and Montgomery County at $87,624. According to a demographer with the Brookings Institute, a Washington think tank, the region as a total ranks second only to the Silicon Valley. In another report I read today published through our local real estate board, NVAR, even with our real estate market adjustment, affordable housing still remains a challenge.  In the coming months, as the market continues to stabilize, we are expecting real estate activity to make slow and steady

My dear hubby and I really wanted to visit some of our cousins in the East, particularly in Virginia, Washington DC and Florida before the year ends. We have some cousins and friends who live in Virginia and they are inviting us. Virginia is a beautiful place to live. Moderate weather, mountains and hills not far from the sea and ocean front vistas means Virginia offers something special. It is romantic, rich with trees and gardens on rolling hills that go on forever. Close to the Virginia suburbs is Washington DC where many Virginians work. The Northern Virginia towns of Arlington, Fairfax, Reston, Manassas are not far off allowing Virginians an easy 30 minute commute to work. Many of these older towns offer great Virginia real estate buying opportunities. If you or your family is planning to move to Virginia, you might want to check out fairfax real estate. The homes and condos in Fairfax VA are a great bargain as the real estate market has been suppressed for several years. It

Jack Dale is no anti-testing zealot, shielding the little ones from the reality of a competitive world. He's not out there with the activists who believe the No Child Left Behind revolution in American schools has turned education into a grim, mechanistic culture.But the superintendent of Fairfax County schools, who presides over one of the highest-achieving systems in the land, has taken a stand at the schoolhouse door: "The last thing I'm going to do is subject some third-grader to tears because someone's standing over them saying, 'You must complete [this standardized test], you must complete.' That's not happening. Let them fire me for it."This from Marc Fisher of the Washington Post.
