Questions To Ask When Considering Selling In Fairfax County

These questions will help you decide whether you’re ready for a home in Fairfax County that’s larger or in a more desirable location. If you answer yes to most of the questions, you may be ready to move.

Have you built substantial equity in your current home?

Check your annual mortgage statement or call your lender to find out how much you’ve paid down. Usually, you don’t build up much equity in the first few years of your mortgage, as monthly payments are mostly interest. But if you’ve owned your home in Fairfax County for five or more years, you may have significant, unrealized gains.

Has your income or financial situation changed?

If you’re making more money, you may be able to afford higher mortgage payments in Fairfax County and cover the costs of moving. If your income has decreased, you may want to consider downsizing.

Have you outgrown your neighborhood?

The neighborhood you pick for your first home in Fairfax County might not be the same one in which you want to settle down for good. You may have realized that you’d like to be closer to your job or live in a better school district.

Are there reasons why you can’t remodel or add on?

Sometimes you can create a bigger home by adding a new room or building up. But if your property isn’t large enough, your municipality doesn’t allow it, or you’re simply not interested in remodeling, then moving to a bigger home in Fairfax County may be your best option.

Are you comfortable moving in the current housing market?

If your market is hot, your home may sell quickly and for top dollar, but the home you buy will also be more expensive. If your market is slow, finding a buyer may take longer, but you’ll have more selection and better pricing as you seek your new home in Fairfax County. Consult Nesbitt Realty agents to ask what they see happening locally. Are interest rates attractive? Low rates help you buy “more” home, and also make it easier to find a buyer for your current place in Fairfax County. Is the effort and cost of maintaining your current home becoming difficult to manage? Nesbitt Realty can help you decide whether a smaller house, condo or rental would be appropriate.
