Do you want to learn what to do to prepare for $764,500 2-bedroom dwelling hunting in the merciless 22301 real estate market?
Know that there’s no “best” time to buy a 2-bedroom 2-baths home in Alexandria.
If you find the most compatible residence today, don't take the chance of losing out because you think you can guess a trend in the future of Alexandria real estate! Outside factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t fluctuate quickly enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual house’s price in Alexandria. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual real estate you're looking at. Every home is distinctly unique. By the same token, opportunities in real estate are unique. That special home you've found in Alexandria might never be on the market again in your lifetime.
Don’t ask for too many opinions.
Everyone likes a little reassurance from friends or relatives, but who is ultimately going to pay the mortgage and live in the home? Focus on the needs of the people who will actually be living in the home.
Accept that there are no perfect houses in the City of Alexandria.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. Maybe you love the kitchen, but hate Cape Cod homes. Maybe it's picture perfect, but with a price that is painful. Organize your priorities, and start with homes that meet your basic requirements.
Sometimes you can negotiate the price, but not always.
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.Just because a home has been sitting for a long time, doesn't mean that the seller is willing to negotiate. Sometimes it means just the opposite.
Remember your home's value is wrapped up in it's location.
Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a property to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
- resalability
- neighborhood pride of ownership
- convenience
Plan for the future.
Don't put off these tasks. Before you shop you should:
- select a Realtor
- think about title companies
- investigate insurance
- consider a moving schedule
