Do you need to know more about what to do to prepare for home shopping in the merciless 22310 real estate market?
Know that there’s no “right” time to purchase a $449,000 house in Alexandria.
If 6101 Larkspur Dr is the right house in Fairfax County for you, you don't want to risk losing it because you believe you can predict where the interest rates are going in Fairfax County tomorrow. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual house’s price in Alexandria. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual houses you're looking at. Every single property in Alexandria is distinct. So, property that you miss out on today, might never be on the market again.
Trust yourself.
It’s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but too many ideas from too many people can paralyze your decision-making. Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in the home.
Accept that there are no perfect houses in Alexandria.
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 the home has 5 bedrooms but no garage parking. I can help you sort out your priorities, so that we focus in on things that are most important to you.
Don't expect that to negotiate too much in Alexandria.
Fairfax County has some of the savviest home sellers in the country. They are well-coached and well-informed. Negotiation is definitely a part of the real estate process, but trying to “win” by getting an extra-low price or refusing to budge may cost you the home you love.
When you're buying a house, you're also buying a neighborhood.
Don’t get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself that you forget about important issues such as:
- convenience
- walking/jogging paths
- commute and traffic
Prepare in advance.
Before you looking for homes, you'll want to:
- think about title companies
- select a Realtor
- consider a moving schedule
- list your priorities
