Are you ready to learn how to prepare for real estate hunting in the tough Great Falls real estate market?
Be advised that there is no “ideal” time to get a residence in Great Falls.
If you find the best house today, don’t risk losing it because you think you can guess a trend in the future of Great Falls real estate. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual house’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual real estate you're looking at. Every single property in Great Falls is distinct. So, property that you miss out on today, might never be on the market again.
The important opinion is your opinion.
It's nice to have some support when you're making a big decision, but too many comments can make it hard to hear your own thoughts. Give the most weight to your own needs and wants.
Understand that no home 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.The commute is perfect, but the nearby shops and restaurants aren't what you hoped for. We will prepare a list of priorites, so that we can concentrate on the factors that are most important.
You can't negotiate a super-deal in Fairfax County, Virginia.
Great Falls is filled with sellers who are well-educated, intelligent and they have access to loads of information.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 home, you're buying a community.
Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a property to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
- convenience
- how close the neighborhood is to friends and family
- access to public transportation
Make preparations before you hunt for homes.
When you find the home you want, you should have already:
- list your priorities
- think about title companies
- consider a moving schedule
- figure your budget
