Do you want to know how to lay the groundwork for house hunting in the competitive 22182 real estate market?
Know that there’s no “most suitable” time to buy.
If you find the right property today, don’t risk losing it because you’re trying to guess where the interest rates are going in 22182. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a significant difference in an individual house’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual houses you're looking at. That's because, every property is unique. So, an opportunity missed today could be gone forever.
The only opinion that matters . . . is yours.
It’s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but divergent ideas might not be compatible in an actual home purchase. Give the most weight to your own needs and wants as well as the needs and wants of others who will be living in (or paying for) the home.
Every home in Fairfax County requires some sort of compromise.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. Maybe it's close to the Metro but far from the school you want.The commute is perfect, but the nearby shops and restaurants aren't what you hoped for. I'll help you separate what you want from what you need, so that we can concentrate on the factors that are really important.
Be prepared to haggle, but don't expect someone to give away real estate in Vienna, Virginia.
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.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.
When you're buying a house like 2205 Chestertown Dr in Vienna, you're also buying a neighborhood like Tysons Woods.
Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a property to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
proximity to shopping
neighborhood pride of ownership
schools
Prepare ahead.
Don't put off these tasks. Before you shop you should:
learn more about home inspections
think about title companies
figure your budget
investigate insurance
I can help with the purchase process. Even if you just need to talk to learn more about how to go forward, please don’t hesitate to call. Contact me if you’d like to learn more about 2205 Chestertown Dr.
