How To Prepare For House Hunting Garden-Style Condos Like 4601 31st Rd S #C1 In Arlington, Virginia

Julie Nesbitt Do you need to know more about how to prepare for garden-style condo shopping in the merciless Arlington County real estate market? Photo of 4601 31st Rd S #C1 Understand that there is no “perfect” time to buy. If you find the perfect garden-style condo today, don’t risk losing it because you’re trying to guess where the interest rates are going in Arlington. Outside factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t fluctuate quickly enough to make a significant difference in an individual garden-style condo’s price in Arlington. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual garden-style condos you're looking at. That's because, every property is unique. By the same token, opportunities in real estate are unique. That special home you've found in Arlington might never be on the market again in your lifetime. Photo of 4601 31st Rd S #C1 Trust yourself. It's nice to have some support when you're making a big decision, but too many ideas from too many people will make it much harder to make a decision. Give the most weight to your own needs and wants. Photo of 4601 31st Rd S #C1 Accept 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 roof is great, but the windows need to be replaced.It's close to the Beltway, but far from your work. Organize your needs and wants, and focus in on things that are most important to you. Photo of 4601 31st Rd S #C1 Don't expect someone to negotiate away their equity in Arlington County. 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.Your home is more than a simple investment. It's your home. It's more important to get the right home than the right price. Photo of 4601 31st Rd S #C1 When you're buying a garden-style condo, 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:
  • schools
  • access to public transportation
  • proximity to shopping
