Are you ready to learn how to get ready for home shopping in the competitive 22066 in Great Falls real estate market?

Know that there’s no “right” time to acquire a place house in Great Falls. If 317 Springvale Rd is the perfect $1,209,000 5-bedroom 3-baths house in 22066 in Fairfax County for you, don’t risk losing it because you’re trying to guess where the interest rates are going in 22066. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual house’s price. A much bigger factor in your purchase is the property itself. Every property is unique. So, property that you miss out on today, might never be on the market again.

The important opinion is your opinion. Of course, everyone likes a little reassurance, but too many comments can make it hard to hear your own thoughts. Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in the home.

There is no such thing as a perfect purchase in Fairfax County. There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. Maybe it's close to the Metro but far from the school you want.If it’s in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. We'll prioritize a list of needs and wants, then we'll focus in on YOUR home ownership goals.

Be prepared to haggle, but don't expect someone to give away real estate in Fairfax 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.There are other buyers in Great Falls 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 house, you're also buying a neighborhood. Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a home to the point that you forget about important issues such as:

community activities
privacy
how close the neighborhood is to friends and family

Plan for the future. Before you shop there are some tasks to take care of. Don’t wait until you’ve found a home to:

list your priorities
figure your budget
select a Realtor
consider a moving schedule
