Are you wondering why you should purchase owner’s title insurance and what it covers? We've got the answers for you!

Title insurance protects your investment in your property from future legal claims regarding ownership. For a one-time fee, you and your heirs receive coverage for as long as you own your home. This includes potential legal fees and court costs for settling claims.

Learn more about the benefits and importance of title insurance in our latest FAQ post.

We wish all the mothers near and far a day of rest, relaxation and happiness.

Schedule B2 of the title commitment lists exceptions to the title policy. Some common exceptions might include:

📌 Easements: Rights granted to others for specific use of the property, such as utility companies or neighboring properties.

📌 Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs): Rules and guidelines governing the use of the property, often found in planned communities or condominiums.

📌 Liens: Claims against the property for unpaid debts, such as mortgages, taxes, or homeowner association dues.

📌 Encroachments: Structures or improvements that extend onto the property from a neighboring property, or vice versa.

🔖 Tips for Buyers

Review Carefully: Buyers should review Schedule B2 carefully and discuss any concerns with their real estate agent or attorney.

Resolve Issues: If there are any unacceptable exceptions, buyers may need to work with the seller, the title company, or their legal counsel to resolve these issues before closing.

Understand Coverage: Buyers should understand what their title insurance covers and what it does not, to avoid any surprises down the line.

Virginia’s 2023 Housing Market Slowest in Nine Years,
Outlook Better for 2024
Rising mortgage rates and inventory constraints kept sales activity low throughout 2023

Richmond, VA – (January 23, 2024) – According to the December 2023 Virginia Home Sales Report released by Virginia REALTORS®, there were 98,464 homes sold statewide during 2023. This is 24,780 fewer home sales than the annual total in 2022, a 20% drop in activity.

The 2023 annual sales total is the lowest the state’s housing market has seen since 2014. Climbing mortgage rates and lack of inventory were the primary causes of the slow market this year. About nine out of every ten counties and cities across the commonwealth (88%), had fewer sales in 2023 compared to 2022, reflecting how widespread the market cooldown was.

While sales activity for the year was the lowest in nearly a decade, Virginia’s median home price climbed briskly nearly every month. At $382,725, the December statewide median sales price jumped up by nearly $24,000 from last December, a 6.6% increase.

There were 16,244 active listings on the market at the end of December throughout Virginia. This is 129 more listings than this time last year, a modest increase of just below 1%. This was the commonwealth’s first year-over-year uptick in nine months.

“Home sales activity is likely to rebound in 2024, with an expected boost from lower mortgage rates,” says Virginia REALTORS® 2024 President Tom Campbell. “If rates continue trending downward, it will likely spur housing market activity on both sides of the table as there is pent-up demand from both first-time buyers and those looking to move up.”

"This year, we expect to see a respite from the sluggish home sales of 2023," says Virginia REALTORS® Chief Economist Ryan Price. "While there will likely be some gains in inventory, the overall supply will continue to be tight, and the market will remain competitive.”
