Reston Condo on the Lake

One of the many perks of working in Real Estate is the chance to see all kinds of homes, all kinds of decor, and all kinds of lifestyles. Last week we listed a condo in Reston that backs right up to lake Thoreau. We had the honor of listing another Harbor Point Condo last year, and I fell in love with the serenity of the location. There's a grocery store AND a Starbucks literally around the corner from here, you're convenient to a commute, and you get to wake up every morning and look out your master bedroom & living room windows at this.

This particular Reston Condominium conveys with a boat slip, so you can kayak or fish in your back yard. What a magnificent place to live!

I'd like to take this opportunity to make a public apology to my neighbors in Herndon. We had a very busy weekend and about the time we were available to mow the lawn, it started to rain. We are now "that family". You know, the ones who's house you drive by and think "Why doesn't that family mow their lawn?" On the bright side, my pansies have weathered the winter beautifully so aside from a few pesky volunteer onions (where do these things come from?) my flowerbeds look cheerful.

Have a fantastic weekend, if you're looking for something to do in the DC area this weekend, here are a few ideas.

Inspections

One of the most important things to complete prior to buying a home is your home inspection. This is typically done within the first 10 calendar days after your contract is ratified. Be sure you hire a home inspector who is certified!

Your Home Inspector will walk through the house with you checking all the the basic systems and appliances. This is a visual examination, meaning they point out what they can see with the naked eye.

Your inspector will make a note of anything that they feel might need repair, with special attention to anything they deem a "major issue". These items can become points of negotiation between Buyer and Seller.

Here are a few other inspections/tests that may be recommended for your purchase:

• Radon
• Mold
• Lead Based Paint
• Termite (Wood Destroying Insect includes Carpenter Bees & ants are typically included)

These inspections are common for this area, but are not a comprehensive list as inspections vary based on the age of the home being purchased, the requirements of the lender, and the needs of the Buyers and Sellers.

Spring in Real Estate

Good Morning Northern Virginia!!
I know that it's bleak and foggy and 42 degrees but I can assure you that Spring is here in Real Estate!
For those of you who don't follow the Real Estate buzz-words, let me explain. In my 8 years in Real Estate I've noticed some generally expected trends. These trends tend to occur within the same general time-frame every year.

One of these trends that gets a lot of hype is the "Spring Market". Which can be loosely defined as; "the time that buyers stop hunkering down for the holidays and start shopping for homes again". Most years we see a Real Estate Spring between mid February to Mid-March. This year our "Spring" started a few weeks ago and is in full swing now!

Just as an example, my last post was about 4 open houses we hostessed this past Sunday. Of those four homes, one was under contract by Sunday (went on the market Friday). Two others we are expecting offers on within this week. Also two of the Realtors I work with are writing (or have written and submitted) offers on other homes in the area.

What does this mean for you? Well, if you're a Buyer...it means you absolutely MUST have your lender letter with you before you start looking at homes. This is generally a best practice anyway, but it is an absolute necessity in "Spring". It also means you won't always have days to decide if you really want to write a contract like you would have a month ago.

If you're a Seller, this means it's a great time to put your home on the market. But be mindful of your comparables and don't price yourself above the market. This is a great time to take advantage of our FREE 1 hour Real Estate Business Planning appointments. No obligation. No hard sell. Just an honest assessment and valuable information.
