Northern Virginia Real Estate Update
- The Inventory of homes is quite low right now: This is especially true for our low to moderate price range in this area, which would be homes from $300,000 in some areas to $1,000,000 homes in other areas.
- With inventory so low, now is a great time to sell because buyers will be competing for your property, and this will likely bring about multiple offers and a higher selling price for your home.
- Keep Your Home Presentable: The spring and summer markets will be off to a hot start, so if you're selling your home, you will want it sparkling clean and free of unnecessary clutter or furniture. Make minor repairs if necessary, and hire a stager if you feel the need (I can refer a stager to you if you need one to arrange your home attractively).
- Consider having your home inspected, because this can make the selling process go much smoother and it helps to avoid any unforeseen obstacles.
- If you're a Buyer: Be prepared to take action. Talk with a lender and make sure your finances are in order before you go out and search for a home. If you are Pre-approved, you will be much more desirable in the eyes of the seller.
- The market will be moving very rapidly this summer, so if you are not prepared to act, you will likely lose out on the home that you want. Prepare to make decisions quickly, so work with a competent agent that can prepare you ahead of time.
