Photo of 7514 Lauralin Pl You should understand that there is no “best choice of” time to buy. If 7514 Lauralin Pl is the most suitable house in Northern Virginia for you, you don't want to miss out because you think you can predict where the housing market in 22150 is going. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual house’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual neighborhood and actual homes in Fairfax County where you're shopping! Every home is distinctly unique. So, an opportunity missed today could be gone forever. Photo of 7514 Lauralin Pl The only opinion that matters . . . is yours. Of course, everyone likes a little reassurance, but who is ultimately going to pay the mortgage and live in the home? 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. It's close to the Beltway, but far from your work.The association doesn't have enough amenities, but the association fee is low. Make a list of your top priorities, 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 Springfield, Virginia. 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.There are other buyers in Springfield and they are looking at the same data. If a home is under-priced, expect it to get bid up. Remember your home doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Don’t get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself that you forget about important issues such as:
  • parks
  • schools
  • nearby restaurants
Formulate your plan. Don’t wait until you’ve found a home to:
  • list your priorities
  • investigate insurance
  • figure your budget
  • consider a moving schedule
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. Call me if you’d like to learn more about 7514 Lauralin Pl.   Read More about 7514 Lauralin Pl Photo of 7514 Lauralin Pl
