Are you ready to learn what to do when you're preparing for home hunting in the competitive local real estate market?
Know that there’s no “best choice of” time to get a $1,495,000 5-bedroom 5-baths Colonial-style residence in Lorton, Virginia.
If you find the perfect home now, you don't want to risk losing it because you’re trying to guess where the interest rates are going in Fairfax County. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual house’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the property itself. That's because all real estate is unique. So, opportunities missed today could be gone forever.
It doesn't matter what other people like.
A bit of encouragement is helpful, but who is ultimately going to pay the mortgage and live in the home? Concentrate on your own desires, and not the needs and wants of people who won't be living in the home.
There is no such thing as a perfect purchase in Lorton.
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 association doesn't have enough amenities, but the association fee is low. Prioritize your home ownership desires and home ownership requirements, so that we focus in on things that are most important to you.
Don't expect someone to negotiate away their equity in Fairfax County.
We have a very efficient real estate market in Fairfax County and most homes will trade for about what they are worth. There are very few properties that sell for more or less than the appraised value.There are other buyers in Lorton 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 home, you're 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:
convenience
schools
proximity to shopping
Plan for the future.
When you find the home you want, you should have already:
to get approved for a mortgage
learn more about home inspections
consider a moving schedule
list your priorities
