Are you ready to learn what to do to begin for home hunting in the competitive
Arlington real estate market?
Know that there’s no “right” time to buy a $900,000 house in Arlington.
If you find the right house now, don’t risk losing it because you think you can guess a trend in the future of Arlington County real estate. Factors like market price and interest rate rarely fluctuate enough to make a difference in an individual house’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the property itself. Every home is distinctly unique. By the same token, opportunities in real estate are unique. That special home you've found in Arlington County might never be on the market again in your lifetime.
The important opinion is your opinion.
It's nice to have some support when you're making a big decision, but who is ultimately going to pay the mortgage and live in the home? Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in the home.
Start with the assumption that no home is ever perfect.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. Maybe you really wanted more than 3 full-baths.The commute is perfect, but the nearby shops and restaurants aren't what you hoped for. We will prepare a list of priorites, and then focus on what you must have. Anything beyond what you absolutely must have is a win.
Don't negotiate yourself out of your ideal home.
Arlington County has some of the savviest home sellers in the country. They are well-coached and well-informed. Arlington is filled with sellers who are well-educated, intelligent and they have access to loads of information.
When you're buying a home, you're buying a community.
Don’t get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself that you forget about important issues such as:
- metro accessibility
- noise level
- privacy
Organize yourself now.
Don’t wait until you’ve found a home to:
- figure your budget
- consider a moving schedule
- think about title companies
- list your priorities
