Do you want to know how to get ready for house hunting in the Alexandria real estate market?
Be advised that there is no perfect time to pick up a townhouse in Northern Virginia.
If you find the dream home now, you don't want to miss out because you think you can predict what the future will be in the the City of Alexandria housing market! Factors like market price and interest rate usually don’t fluctuate quickly enough to make a meaningful difference in an individual townhouse’s price in Alexandria. A much bigger factor in your purchase is the property itself! Every home is distinctly unique. So, property that you miss out on today, might never be on the market again.
The only opinion that matters . . . is yours.
It's nice to have some support when you're making a big decision, but it's hard to hear you're own thoughts, if you're taking in advice from many people. Focus on the wants and needs of the people who will actually be living in this townhouse.
There is no such thing as a perfect purchase.
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 it's picture perfect, but with a price that is painful. I'll help you separate what you want from what you need, and focus on those priorities that are required.
Don't expect someone to negotiate away their equity in the City of Alexandria.
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.Alexandria is filled with sellers who are well-educated, intelligent and they have access to loads of information.
When you're buying a townhouse like 168 Ike Dr, you're also buying a neighborhood like Eisenhower Square.
Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a property to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
- access to public transportation
- walking/jogging paths
- resalability
Prepare now.
Don't put off these tasks. Before you shop you should:
- select a Realtor
- figure your budget
- learn more about home inspections
- to get approved for a mortgage
