Are you ready to learn what to do when you're preparing home comparisons in the competitive local real estate market?
Know that there’s no “best choice of” time to acquire a 3-bedroom 2-baths Traditional-style Traditional in 22152 in Fairfax County.
If 7216 Gentian Ct is the most compatible $499,900 Traditional in 22152 for you, you don't want to risk losing it because you think you can predict where the housing market in Fairfax County is going! Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual home’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the property itself. Each property, each home is unique. So, an opportunity missed today could be gone forever.
Yours is the only opinion that matters.
A bit of encouragement is helpful, 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. If it’s in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. Maybe the home has 3 bedrooms but no garage parking. Make a list of your top priorities, and start by shopping those homes that meet your requirements.
Real estate in Fairfax County Virginia is a commodity.
Negotiation is definitely a part of the real estate process, but trying to “win” by getting an extra-low price or refusing to budge may cost you the home you love.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.
Remember your home is a part of a community.
Don’t get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself that you forget about important issues such as:
- walking/jogging paths
- schools
- proximity to shopping
Plan for the future.
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
- figure your budget
- to get approved for a mortgage
- consider a moving schedule
