Get Organized Before You Shop For Your Dream Townhouse In Alexandria

Do you need to know more about what to do when you're preparing home comparisons in the competitive 22315 real estate market? Photo of 5217 Harbor Court Dr Be advised that there is no perfect time to buy a pied-a-terre in Alexandria, Virginia. If you find the dream home today, don't take the chance of losing out because you’re trying to guess what the housing market might do! Things like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual townhouse’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the home itself. That's because of the unique nature of real estate. So, an opportunity lost today could be gone forever. Don't poll the village for opinions. A bit of encouragement is helpful, but too many comments can make it hard to hear your own thoughts. Concentrate on your desires, and not the needs and wants of people who won't be living in the home. Photo of 5217 Harbor Court Dr 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. If it’s in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. Maybe you love the kitchen, but hate colonials homes. Make a list of your top priorities, and focus on properties in 22315 that fit your specified criteria. Expect some dickering, but don't expect any freebies. There are other buyers in Alexandria and they are looking at the same data. If a home is under-priced, expect it to get bid up.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. Photo of 5217 Harbor Court Dr When you're buying a townhouse, you're buying a neighborhood. Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a property to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
  • access to public transportation
  • privacy
  • community activities
Organize yourself now. Before you looking for homes, you'll want to:
  • learn more about home inspections
  • list your priorities
  • select a Realtor
  • investigate insurance
