How To Prepare For House Hunting In Fairfax County

Julie Nesbitt Do you want to learn what to do to begin for home shopping in the tough Northern Virginia real estate market? Photo of 7307 Inzer St Be advised that there is no perfect time to purchase a house in 22151 in Fairfax County. If you find the dream 4-bedroom Rambler-style house now, you don't want to miss out because you’re trying to guess what the housing market might do. 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 house you're looking at. Every property is unique. So, opportunities missed today could be gone forever. The most important opinion is your opinion. Of course, everyone likes a little reassurance, but too many ideas from too many people will make it much harder to make a decision. Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in the home. Photo of 7307 Inzer St Accept that there is no perfect house. There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. If it’s in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. Maybe you really wanted more than 2 full-baths. Make a list of your top priorities, then we'll focus in on that which is most important to you. Photo of 7307 Inzer St Expect some dickering, but don't expect any freebies. We have a very efficient real estate market in Fairfax County and most homes will trade for about what they are worth. There are very few properties that sell for more or less than the appraised value.Fairfax County has some of the savviest home sellers in the country. They are well-coached and well-informed. Photo of 7307 Inzer St When you're buying a house like 7307 Inzer St in Springfield, you're also buying a neighborhood like North Springfield. Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a property to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
  • access to public transportation
  • how close the neighborhood is to friends and family
  • neighborhood pride of ownership
