This week, many of us celebrate Easter. There’s an old saying “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. But maybe that’s exactly what you SHOULD be doing!
Vienna and Oakton’s housing market remain HOT. Sales are brisk and inventory remains low. Vienna remains in a Seller’s Market and with a slight decrease in inventory this week, Oakton is now teetering between a Balanced Market and a Seller’s Market.
Over the past week, 32 homes sold in Vienna and Oakton. Of those homes, 72% sold in 15 days or less. WOW!
The best strategy now for Buyers is to “Be A Boy Scout”. We advise our Buyers to have loans approved, walk through the process with your Realtor from start to finish (even have them go over a standard contract with you – including the various contingency options) and have your checkbook in hand. If you’re serious about buying – it’s a great time. Interest rates are still at historic lows. And you need to be prepared to move! Inventory levels are at the lowest we have seen in years. So when that “perfect” home comes on the market – you may not be the only one looking at it. Be a Boy Scout and BE PREPARED.
We would also suggest that you work with a Realtor who is “proactive” rather than “reactive”. Instead of waiting for that “perfect home” to magically come on the market, if you can identify the neighborhood, floorplan and detailed characteristics of your “perfect home”, a Realtor may be able to find a home for you that is not even yet on the market. (The Belt Team has done that for quite a few clients over the past year.) This strategy could have you celebrating Memorial Day in your own new home!
