Do you need to know how to prepare for townhouse hunting in the tough Alexandria real estate market?
Be advised that there is no great time to buy a Colonial in the City of Alexandria.
If 1733 Potomac Greens Dr is the right home in Alexandria for you, don’t risk losing it because you’re trying to predict where the housing market in Alexandria is headed. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual townhouse’s price. A much bigger factor is the property itself. Each property, each home is unique. So, an opportunity missed today could be gone forever.
Yours is the only opinion that matters.
Of course, everyone likes a little reassurance, but who is ultimately going to pay the mortgage and live in the home? Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in the home.
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 living room may be perfect, but the bathroom needs an update.The association provides all utilities but the association fee is high. I can help you sort out your priorities, so that we focus in on things that are most important to you.
Expect some dickering, but don't expect any freebies in Alexandria.
Alexandria is filled with sellers who are well-educated, intelligent and they have access to loads of information.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.
Remember 1733 Potomac Greens Dr doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a property to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
- walking/jogging paths
- schools
- noise level
Prepare now.
Don't shop for homes before you:
- list your priorities
- investigate insurance
- select a Realtor
- learn more about home inspections
