Do you want to learn how to embark for home hunting in the competitive Clifton real estate market?
Know that there’s no “right” time to buy a 1-bedroom Traditional-style garden-style condo in 20124.
If you find the dream home in 20124 now, you don't want to risk losing it because you think you can guess a trend in the future of Fairfax County real estate. Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual home’s price in Fairfax County. 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.
Trust your gut.
It’s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but who is the house for? You or your advisors? Concentrate on your needs and wants, and not the needs and wants of people who won't be living in the home.
Every home in Clifton 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 really wanted more than 1 full-baths. We will prepare a list of priorites, and focus on properties in Clifton that fit your specified criteria.
You can't negotiate a super-deal in Clifton, Virginia.
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.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 garden-style condo, 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:
commute and traffic
how close the neighborhood is to friends and family
parks
Prepare ahead.
Don’t wait until you’ve found a home to:
think about title companies
learn more about home inspections
select a Realtor
list your priorities
