When you aren’t from Northern Virginia the real estate market can seem a little bit daunting and confusing. Let me shed some light on it for you.
Here is just a glow of light on the beam of sunshine that is the Northern Virginia real estate market: Let me just say that this is a totally different market than anywhere else in the nation. Northern Virginia has the federal workers. Northern Virginia has the nations Capitol at our finger tips. Northern Virginia has access to the Mid-Atlantic region. Northern Virginia has a highly educated public. Northern Virginia has dozens of notable colleges and universities. Northern Virginia real estate has access to some of the best public school systems in the nation. Northern Virginia has been noted as one of the best places to live in the nation. Northern Virginia has military personnel for the Pentagon, Ft. Belvoir, Ft. Meade, Ft. Myer, Bolling Air Force Base, Langley, Triangle who need places to live… Need I go on?
Northern Virginia a virtual hotbed of required housing. All of these people need a place to live and many of them opt not to live in The District even though they could still use the Metro for their commute. Real estate in Northern Virginia is where it is at and we’re in a place where buyers are able to take advantage of the lowest interest rates, new construction is still available, resale properties are still selling and there are less distressed properties in Northern Virginia than anywhere in our nation. It’s a pretty great situation to be in and for those who are in need of finding housing in Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Tyson’s Corner, McLean and the like… now is probably the time, while rates are
low, home prices are not top of the market it is still a seller’s market. I am still seeing multiple offer situations and escalation clauses, so there isn’t much inventory in specific price brackets, and if you’re looking to put your home on the market in Northern Virginia, now could be the perfect time.
If you think you might be ready to have a serious discussion about what your next steps should be, I’m ready to talk to you about it. Let me help simplify the Northern Virginia real estate market for you.
