Do you want to know how to embark home evaluation in the competitive 22305 real estate market?
Know that there’s no “right” time to acquire a home.
If you find the right house today, you don't want to risk losing it because you think you can predict what the future will be in the Alexandria housing market. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual house’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual real estate involved. Every single property in Alexandria is distinct. So, property that you miss out on today, might never be on the market again.
The only opinion that matters . . . is yours.
Everyone likes a little reassurance from friends or relatives, however too many ideas can actually frustrate and confuse you rather than help. Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in the home.
Accept that no house is ever perfect.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. You were searching for brick colonials homes and the price is less than $807,490 but you don't want 22305.The roof is great, but the windows need to be replaced. Prioritize your home ownership desires and home ownership requirements, and focus on properties in Alexandria that fit your goal-oriented criteria.
Be prepared to haggle, but don't expect someone to give away real estate in Alexandria.
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.Alexandria is filled with sellers who are well-educated, intelligent and they have access to loads of information.
Remember your home's value is wrapped up in it's location.
Don’t get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself that you forget about important issues such as:
views
waterfront or waterview
proximity to shopping
Prepare now.
When you find the home you want, you should have already:
figure your budget
consider a moving schedule
think about title companies
