Is A Home Like 5300 Fillmore Ave In Alexandria The Right Place To Start OR To End Your Search?

Photo of 5300 Fillmore Ave If you don't know me, my name is Will Nesbitt. I'm a full-time Realtor specializing in Alexandria. I'd like to say that this house in Northern Virginia is a great purchase for $485,000 but I can't. That's because when one calculates the value of a home the single biggest variable is the buyer. If it's not the right home for my buyer client, it's not the right home. My objective with this post is to help you think about your concerns, so that you can move forward in your real estate search in Alexandria. Of the top of your head, what's most important to you? In general, these are not particularly difficult decisions, but they are decisions that only you can make. For example:
  1. Do you need a handicap accessible property? Do you like steps?
  2. The highest priced dwelling in the neighborhood is listed for $485,000. Do you know if 5300 Fillmore Ave is a good value?
  3. Is the cooling system important to you? Did you know that this community's most common cool systems are central air conditioning, ceiling fan(s)?
  4. Do you want upgraded features? Do you like SS appliances, granite counters, dual pane windows? Do you want a “green” home? Do you prefer a handyman special?
  5. Do you have specific paint colors? Or, do you want to paint and pick your own colors?
