Investment Report: new home in Ashburn, VA as of Sep 2013

Below are the new homes available for sale in Ashburn that are closest to future metro station. In general, I am personally very bullish in Ashburn as the city has a lot of high income residents and a lot of things are coming there including the metro rail and world trade center (this is the same world trade organization in other major cities: http://www.wtca.org/)! Contact me if you are interested in any of them. All 3 homes has similar returns on investment.
