Making The Necessary Arrangements To Find Your Most Compatible House

Photo of 2602 Turbridge Ln Do you want to know how to lay the groundwork for house hunting in the merciless 22308 in Fairfax County real estate market? Photo of 2602 Turbridge Ln There is no such thing as the “right” time to purchase a property. If you find the perfect 5-bedroom 3-baths property now, you don't want to miss out because you’re trying to guess where the housing market in Fairfax County is going! Factors like market price and interest rate almost never change enough to make a difference in an individual house’s price. A much bigger factor is the property itself! Every single property in Alexandria is unique. By the same token, opportunities in real estate are unique. That special home you've found in Alexandria might never be on the market again in your lifetime. Photo of 2602 Turbridge Ln It doesn't matter what other people like. It's nice to have some support when you're making a big decision, but too many ideas from too many people will make it much harder to make a decision. Concentrate on your own desires, and not the needs and wants of people who won't be living in the home. Photo of 2602 Turbridge Ln Every home in Alexandria requires some sort of compromise. There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. You were searching for brick and siding split levels homes and the price is less than $949,050 but you don't want 22308.The roof is great, but the windows need to be replaced. Organize your needs and wants, and then focus on what you must have. Anything beyond what you absolutely must have is a win. Photo of 2602 Turbridge Ln You will never negotiate a super-deal in Alexandria, Virginia. 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.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. Photo of 2602 Turbridge Ln When you're buying a house, 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:
  • community activities
  • walking/jogging paths
  • commute and traffic
Formulate your plan. Before you shop there are some tasks to take care of. Don’t wait until you’ve found a home to:
  • learn more about home inspections
  • investigate insurance
  • to get approved for a mortgage
  • think about title companies
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. Talk to me if you’d like to learn more about 2602 Turbridge Ln.   Photo of 2602 Turbridge Ln
