Do you want to learn how to embark home comparisons in the merciless 22306 real estate market?
Know that there’s no “right” time to purchase a $699,900 house in Alexandria.
If you find the right house in Alexandria now, you don't want to miss out because you’re trying to guess where the housing market in 22306 is going! Factors like market price and interest rate rarely change enough to make a difference in an individual house’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual house you're looking at. Every single property in Alexandria is distinct. So, a home for sale today, might not be available when the market changes.
The only opinion that matters . . . is yours.
Everyone likes a little reassurance from friends or relatives, but too many comments can make it hard to hear your own thoughts. Give the most weight to your own needs and wants as well as the needs and wants of others who will be living in (or paying for) the home.
Understand 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. The living room may be perfect, but the bathroom needs an update.Maybe the home has 4 bedrooms but no garage parking. I'll help you separate what you want from what you need, and start by shopping those homes that meet your requirements.
Sometimes you can negotiate the price, but not always.
If you pay too much, relax. I'll put an appraisal contingency in that will allow you to kick-out of the deal at no penalty if the home sales price is too high. We have a very efficient real estate market in Fairfax County and most homes will trade for about what they are worth. There are very few properties that sell for more or less than the appraised value.
Remember your home is a part of a community.
Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a property to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
- access to public transportation
- waterfront or waterview
- walking/jogging paths
Prepare now.
Before you shop there are some tasks to take care of. Don’t wait until you’ve found a home to:
- figure your budget
- think about title companies
- list your priorities
- consider a moving schedule
