Do you want to learn how to prepare home evaluation in the competitive Alexandria real estate market?
Understand that you can't know the “most suitable” time to buy.
If 2200 Kilt Ct is the best 4-bedroom Rambler-style house in 22308 in Fairfax County for you, 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 significant difference in an individual house’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual neighborhood in Fairfax County where you're shopping. Every home is distinctly unique. By the same token, opportunities in real estate are unique. That special home you've found in Fairfax County might never be on the market again in your lifetime.
It doesn't matter what other people like.
It’s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but it's hard to hear you're own thoughts, if you're taking in advice from many people. Consider your own needs and wants as a buyer, before you consider advice and desires of people who will not be living in the home.
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. The roof is great, but the windows need to be replaced.Maybe you love the kitchen, but hate Rambler homes. We will prepare a list of priorites, and then fix our attention on those properties in Alexandria that fit your criteria.
Be prepared to haggle, but don't expect someone to give away real estate in Fairfax County.
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.If you pay too much, relax. I'll put an appraisal contingency in that will allow you to kick-out of the deal at no penalty if the home sales price is too high.
When you're buying a house, you're buying a neighborhood.
Don’t get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself that you forget about important issues such as:
- nearby restaurants
- access to amenities,
- metro accessibility
Get ready today for tomorrow.
Before you shop there are some tasks to take care of. Don’t wait until you’ve found a home to:
- think about title companies
- list your priorities
- figure your budget
- select a Realtor
