Do you want to know how to embark for real estate hunting in the tough 22202 in Arlington real estate market?
You should understand that there is no “dream” time to buy.
If you find the ideal modest 4-bedroom dwelling now, you don't want to risk losing it because you’re trying to guess what the housing market might do! Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual home’s price in Arlington County. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual neighborhood and actual homes in Arlington County where you're shopping. Each property, each home is unique. So, opportunities missed today could be gone forever.
Don’t ask for too many opinions.
It's nice to have some support when you're making a big decision, but too many comments can make it hard to hear your own thoughts. Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in the home.
There is no such thing as a perfect purchase in 22202.
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.Maybe it's picture perfect, but with a price that is painful. We'll prioritize a list of needs and wants, and focus on properties in 22202 that fit your specified criteria.
Be prepared to haggle, but don't expect someone to give away real estate in Arlington.
There are other buyers in Arlington and they are looking at the same data. If a home is under-priced, expect it to get bid up.We have a very efficient real estate market in Arlington 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.
