Are you ready to learn what to do when you're beginning for home shopping in the merciless Alexandria, Virginia real estate market?
Know that there’s no “best choice of” time to buy a 2-bedroom place in 22307.
If you find the great home now, don't take the chance of losing out because you’re trying to predict where the housing market in Alexandria is headed! Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t change fast enough to make a difference in an individual garden-style condo’s price. Much more important than macro-economic factors, is the home itself! That's because, every property is 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.
Don't poll the village for opinions.
It’s natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but you can confuse the desires of others, for your own needs and wants. Concentrate on your desires, and not the needs and wants of people who won't be living in the home.
There is no such thing as a perfect purchase in 22307.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. The association provides all utilities but the association fee is high.The roof is great, but the windows need to be replaced. We will prepare a list of priorites, and then fix our attention on those properties in Alexandria that fit your specified criteria.
Don't negotiate yourself out of your ideal home.
Fairfax County has some of the savviest home sellers in the country. They are well-coached and well-informed. 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.
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:
walking/jogging paths
resalability
schools
Plan ahead.
When you find the home you want, you should have already:
to get approved for a mortgage
learn more about home inspections
list your priorities
figure your budget
