Tips for McLean Buyers Spending Less Than $1 Million

Do you need to know how to embark for home hunting in the competitive McLean, Virginia real estate market? Photo of 7224 Aynsley Ln Know that there’s no “most suitable” time to get a $874,789 3-bedroom property in Northern Virginia. If you find the perfect home today, don't take the chance of losing out because you’re trying to guess where the interest rates are going in Fairfax County. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t fluctuate quickly enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual townhouse’s price in Fairfax County. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual real estate at hand. Every property is unique. So, a home for sale today, might not be available when the market changes. Photo of 7224 Aynsley Ln Don't poll the village for opinions. Everyone likes a little reassurance from friends or relatives, but divergent ideas might not be compatible in an actual home purchase. Concentrate on your needs and wants, and not the needs and wants of people who won't be living in the home. Photo of 7224 Aynsley Ln Every home in Fairfax County, including 7224 Aynsley Ln requires some sort of compromise. There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. The commute is perfect, but the nearby shops and restaurants aren't what you hoped for.Maybe the home has 3 bedrooms but no garage parking. Prioritize your home ownership desires and home ownership requirements, and focus only on properties in McLean that fit your specified criteria. Photo of 7224 Aynsley Ln Don't expect someone to negotiate away their equity in McLean. Fairfax County has some of the savviest home sellers in the country. They are well-coached and well-informed. McLean is filled with sellers who are well-educated, intelligent and they have access to loads of information. Photo of 7224 Aynsley Ln Remember your home's value is wrapped up in it's location. Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a home to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
  • resalability
  • access to public transportation
  • commute and traffic
