Do you want to learn where to begin home comparisons in the competitive Arlington, Virginia real estate market?
Know that there’s no “ideal” time to purchase.
If you find the great 5-bedroom property today, you don't want to risk losing it because you’re trying to guess where the interest rates are going in 22207! Factors like market price and interest rate almost never change enough to make a difference in an individual townhouse’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the actual neighborhood in Arlington County where you're shopping! Every single property in Arlington County is unique. By the same token, opportunities in real estate are unique. That special home you've found in Arlington County might never be on the market again in your lifetime.
Yours is the only opinion that matters.
A bit of encouragement is helpful, but too many ideas from too many people can lead to analysis paralysis. 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 22207 requires some sort of compromise.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. It's close to the Beltway, but far from your work.Maybe it's picture perfect, but with a price that is painful. Make a list of your top priorities, and then fix our attention on those properties in Arlington that fit your specific criteria.
You can't negotiate a super-deal in Arlington County, 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.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.
When you're buying a home, you're buying a community.
Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a home to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
parks
privacy
nearby restaurants
Plan for the future.
Don't shop for homes before you:
list your priorities
investigate insurance
consider a moving schedule
think about title companies
