The Golden Window Military Families Never See | Hampton Roads Market Pattern

Thousands of military families moving to Norfolk make the same five-figure mistake — and it has nothing to do with the house they choose, the neighborhood they pick, or the loan they use. It's all about WHEN they buy. There's a hidden pattern in the Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads market, driven by the military's PCS cycle — and it can cost you tens of thousands of dollars. In this video, I break down the data behind the trap and reveal the "Golden Window" (October–January) when buyers get the most negotiating power and the best deal — plus exactly what it means for Norfolk: the bases, the tunnel commute, and the price points to expect. I'm Megan Luker — 30 years a Navy wife, 35 years a real estate agent in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads — and I specialize in helping veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses use their VA loan to buy here.
