Do you want to learn what to do when you're preparing house comparison in the competitive Fairfax County real estate market?
Understand that there is no “most suitable” time to buy.
If you find the right Split Level today, don’t risk losing it because you think you can predict what the future will be in the Falls Church housing market! Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual home’s price in Falls Church. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual neighborhood in Fairfax County where you're shopping. Every single property in Fairfax County is unique. So, an opportunity lost today could be gone forever.
The important opinion is your opinion.
It's nice to have some support when you're making a big decision, but too many comments can make it hard to hear your own thoughts. Give the most weight to your own needs and wants.
Start with the assumption that no house is ever perfect.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. The association provides all utilities but the association fee is high.Maybe you really wanted more than 3 full-baths. We will prepare a list of priorites, and start with homes that meet your basic requirements.
Expect some dickering, but don't expect any freebies.
Just because a home has been sitting for a long time, doesn't mean that the seller is willing to negotiate. Sometimes it means just the opposite.There are other buyers in Falls Church and they are looking at the same data. If a home is under-priced, expect it to get bid up.
Remember your home is a part of a community.
Don’t get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself that you forget about important issues such as:
- parks
- views
- metro accessibility
Get ready today for tomorrow.
When you find the home you want, you should have already:
- to get approved for a mortgage
- learn more about home inspections
- figure your budget
- investigate insurance
