Photo of 8214 Springfield Village Dr Know that there’s no “right” time to real estate in West Springfield. If you find the perfect house in Fairfax County now, you don't want to miss out because you’re trying to guess where the housing market and interest rates are going. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a significant difference in an individual house’s price. A much bigger factor is the property itself. Every single property in Fairfax County is unique. So, an opportunity missed today could be gone forever. Photo of 8214 Springfield Village Dr Trust yourself. 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. Every home in Fairfax County, including 8214 Springfield Village Dr requires some sort of compromise. There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities.
