Strafford County is located just north of the city of Fredericksburg and is located 27 miles south of Washington D.C. The city of Fredericksburg is situated halfway between D.C. and Richmond and just south of the City is Spotsylvania County. This area is extremely variable in its choices of living arrangements. Fredericksburg has many older historic sections; in the suburban areas, the choice of housing is almost limitless from starter homes to exclusive gated communities, townhouses and apartments. Further out near the rivers are beautiful waterfront homes that are very private but easily accessible to the downtown areas. In the more rural areas are restored farmhouses with large parcels of land to go with them. The prices of these homes are highly affordable.
Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas of Stafford and Spotsylvania are steeped in history especially Civil War History, many great battles were fought in this area including of course the battle of Fredericksburg. The proximity to Washington DC makes politics one of the primary aspects of life in the area.

Real Estate Contracts >The Sales Price
After your search for a house and all the negotiations are over, you arrive at the the sales price. Finally, you feel some certainty about your bottom line. However, it is not unusual for there to be disagreements about what is included in the sales price. Careful drafting of the paperwork can help to avoid future disputes.
The following definitions may help. Real property is land and any permanent attachments, such as buildings, landscaping and fences. Personal property consists of movable possessions, such as furniture and clothing. A fixture is defined as an item of personal property which has become part of the real property by virtue of becoming permanently attached, such as a new sink, a Jacuzzi, or a chandelier.
The principal area of dispute about the sales price often relates to fixtures. Most preprinted real estate contracts will provide space for the fixtures to be listed. Whether you are selling or buying, you should make use of this space. Do not assume curtains, satellite discs, antennas or fireplace equipment come with the house. You should also make it very clear what you don't want left on the property. If you are specific about every item that may be questionable, you will greatly reduce the chances of a dispute after the closing.
