&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are many articles and predictions about the housing market but as&amp;nbsp;a top local Northern Virginia Real Estate Agent , Cindy Polk, specializing in country properties, I am in the trenches assisting buyers and sellers with everything from farm land,&amp;nbsp;cottages&amp;nbsp;and hobby farms to fine estates, Virginia Equestrian&amp;nbsp;facilities,&amp;nbsp;polo clubs&amp;nbsp;and vineyards. &amp;nbsp;I see a definite improvement in morale which&amp;nbsp;has a positive effect on&amp;nbsp;our local housing market.&amp;nbsp;Positive morale leads to increased confidence which allows buyers and&amp;nbsp;sellers to become more proactive and&amp;nbsp;willing to think outside the box&amp;nbsp;to facilitate successful transactions. Last year I was fortunate to sell one of the highest sold properties in Loudoun County, a beautiful horse farm between Middleburg and Purcellville. The farm had a fine estate home that enjoyed sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. It was further improved by a guest house and extensive equestrian facilities. Below is an article highlighting the highest priced sales&amp;nbsp;of 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
