Do you need to know more about what to do when you're preparing home evaluation in the competitive 22315 in Alexandria real estate market?
Know that there’s no “great” time to buy real estate in Alexandria.
If 5947 Dungeness Ln is the great Victorian in 22315 in Alexandria for you, don’t risk losing it because you’re trying to guess where the housing market and interest rates are going. 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 neighborhood in Fairfax County where you're shopping! Every home is distinctly unique. So, an opportunity lost today could be gone forever.
Yours is the only opinion that matters.
It’s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, however too many ideas can actually frustrate and confuse you rather than help. 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 22315.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. The association doesn't have enough amenities, but the association fee is low.Maybe you really wanted more than 2 full-baths. We'll prioritize a list of needs and wants, and start by shopping those homes that meet your requirements.
You're buying a home, not a car.
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. There are other buyers in Alexandria 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 house, you're buying a neighborhood.
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
- schools
- neighborhood pride of ownership
Plan ahead.
Don't put off these tasks. Before you shop you should:
- consider a moving schedule
- think about title companies
- figure your budget
- learn more about home inspections
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. Reach out to me if you’d like to learn more about 5947 Dungeness Ln.
