Do you need to know what to do when you're beginning for home hunting in the competitive local real estate market?
Understand that there’s no “ideal” time to acquire a Colonial-style condo.
If you find the right garden-style condo today, you don't want to miss out because you think you can predict where the housing market in 22309 is going. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual garden-style condo’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual real estate you're looking at. Every single property in Alexandria is unique. So, property that you miss out on today, might never be on the market again.
The most important opinion is your opinion.
A bit of encouragement is helpful, but who is ultimately going to pay the mortgage and live in the home? Consider your own needs and wants as a buyer, before you consider advice and desires of people who will not be living in the home.
There is no such thing as a perfect purchase in 22309.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. You were searching for composition Colonial homes and the price is less than $142,405 but you don't want 22309.The association provides all utilities but the association fee is high. We will prepare a list of priorites, and focus on properties in 22309 that fit your specified criteria.
Be prepared to haggle, but don't expect someone to give away real estate in Alexandria, Virginia.
If you pay too much, relax. I'll put an appraisal contingency in that will allow you to kick-out of the deal at no penalty if the home sales price is too high. Alexandria is filled with sellers who are well-educated, intelligent and they have access to loads of information.
When you're buying a home, you're 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:
- convenience
- metro accessibility
- access to public transportation
Get ready today for tomorrow.
Don't put off these tasks. Before you shop you should:
- select a Realtor
- learn more about home inspections
- figure your budget
- consider a moving schedule
