How To Ready Yourself For $314,900 House Hunting In Clifton, Virginia

Will Nesbitt Do you want to know how to get ready for house hunting in the competitive 20124 real estate market? Know that there’s no “right” time to buy a $314,900 townhouse in 20124. If you find the perfect 3-bedroom townhouse now, don't take the chance of losing out because you’re trying to guess where the interest rates are going in Clifton. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual townhouse’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual real estate you're looking at. That's because all real estate is unique. So, property that you miss out on today, might never be on the market again. Don't poll the village for opinions. A bit of encouragement is helpful, but too many cooks spoil the soup. Concentrate on your desires, and not the needs and wants of people who won't be living in the home. Every home in 20124 requires some sort of compromise. There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. If it’s in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. Maybe it's picture perfect, but with a price that is painful. We'll prioritize a list of needs and wants, and start with homes that meet your basic requirements. Be prepared to haggle, but don't expect someone to give away real estate. Fairfax County has some of the savviest home sellers in the country. They are well-coached and well-informed. There are other buyers in Clifton and they are looking at the same data. If a home is under-priced, expect it to get bid up. When you're buying a townhouse like 13690 Wildflower Ln in Clifton, you're also buying a neighborhood like 20124. Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a home to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
  • convenience
  • views
  • proximity to shopping
Plan ahead. Don't shop for homes before you:
  • to get approved for a mortgage
  • consider a moving schedule
  • figure your budget
  • investigate insurance
I can help with the purchase process. Even if you just need to talk to learn more about how to go forward, please don’t hesitate to call. Contact me if you’d like to learn more about 13690 Wildflower Ln.
