Do you want to know how to embark garden-style condo comparison in the merciless Alexandria real estate market?
Know that there’s no “right” time to real estate in the City of Alexandria.
If you find the perfect garden-style condo today, don't take the chance of losing out because you’re trying to predict where the housing market in Alexandria is headed. Things like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual garden-style condo’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the property itself. That's because all real estate is unique. By the same token, opportunities in real estate are unique. That special home you've found in Alexandria might never be on the market again in your lifetime.
Don’t ask for too many opinions.
A bit of encouragement is helpful, but too many ideas from too many people will make it much harder to make a decision. Focus on the needs of the people who will actually be living in the home.
Every home in the City of Alexandria, including 722 Washington St S #202 requires some sort of compromise.
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.If it’s in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. We will prepare a list of priorites, so that we can concentrate on the factors that are really important.
Don't expect that to negotiate too much in 22314.
We have a very efficient real estate market in the City of Alexandria 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.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.
When you're buying a garden-style condo, you're also 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:
- commute and traffic
- parks
- metro accessibility
Plan for the future.
When you find the home you want, you should have already:
- learn more about home inspections
- figure your budget
- think about title companies
- list your priorities
I can help with the purchase process. Even if you just need to talk to learn more about how to go forward, please don’t hesitate to call. Contact me if you’d like to learn more about 722 Washington St S #202.
