Do you need to know more about what to do to begin home evaluation in the competitive local real estate market?
Know that there’s no “ideal” time to buy a home.
If you find the best choice of dwelling now, you don't want to miss out because you’re trying to guess where the interest rates are going in Fairfax County. Elements like market price and interest rate usually don’t fluctuate quickly enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual house’s price in Alexandria. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual real estate involved. That's because all real estate is unique. So, a home for sale today, might not be available when the market changes.
Don't poll the village for opinions.
Of course, everyone likes a little reassurance, but you can confuse the desires of others, for your own needs and wants. Concentrate on your desires, and not the needs and wants of people who won't be living in the home.
Know that no property is ever perfect.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. Maybe you really wanted more than 2 full-baths.Maybe it's picture perfect, but with a price that is painful. We will prepare a list of priorites, and then focus on what you must have. Anything beyond what you absolutely must have is a win.
You will never negotiate a super-deal in Alexandria, Virginia.
Your home is more than a simple investment. It's your home. It's more important to get the right home than the right price. 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.
When you're buying a house, you're also buying a neighborhood.
Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a home to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
- neighborhood pride of ownership
- access to amenities,
- views
Prepare ahead.
Don’t wait until you’ve found a home to:
- figure your budget
- select a Realtor
- consider a moving schedule
- investigate insurance
