Do you need to know more about what to do when you're beginning to condo hunt in the Alexandria real estate market?
Know that no real estate professional knows the “right” time for you to buy.
If you find the right 3-bedroom garden-style condo today, don’t risk losing it because you think you can guess a trend in the future of Fairfax County real estate! Elements like market price and interest rate usually don’t fluctuate quickly enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual garden-style condo’s price in Fairfax County. A much bigger factor is the home itself. That's because of the unique nature of real estate. So, an opportunity missed today could be gone forever.
The important opinion is your opinion.
It’s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but too many ideas from too many people can lead to analysis paralysis. Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in this garden-style condo.
There is no such thing as a perfect garden-style condo.
You were searching for brick Traditional homes and the price is less than $185,250 but you don't want 22303.The commute is perfect, but the nearby shops and restaurants aren't what you hoped for. Organize your priorities, so that we can concentrate on the factors that are really important.
Be prepared to haggle, but don't expect someone to give away real estate.
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.Your home is more than a simple investment. It's your home.

When you're buying a home, you're buying 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:
- nearby restaurants
- waterfront or waterview
- commute and traffic
