Prioritizing Your Needs On A 2-BR 1 BA Condominium In Fairfax County

Photo of 8505 Barrington Ct #N I'm a local Realtor specializing garden-style condos in Fairfax County. I like 8505 Barrington Ct #N. This condo in Springfield Virginia looks like a good value for several reasons. However, I'm not recommending you buy this property in particular. That's because, until I know your goals there is no way for me to know if this is the right home for you. Photo of 8505 Barrington Ct #N Let's pause to determine your essentials so that you can realistically settle if buying a mid 20th-century abode in Fairfax County is for you. What are your needs? What are your wants? Photo of 8505 Barrington Ct #N I'd love to talk through your options. A few of the issues to sort through:
  1. Do you want upgraded features? Do you like SS appliances, granite counters, dual pane windows? Do you want a “green” home? Do you prefer a handyman special?
  2. What type of heating system do you prefer? Electric? Maybe you like natural gas or the warmth of an oil furnace? The most typical heating system in this neighborhood is heat pump(s).
  3. Is a view important to you? Do you want a waterview or waterfront condominium?
  4. Do you have specific paint colors? Or, do you want to paint and pick your own colors?
