Sellers that want their children to finish the school year usually don’t put their homes on the market until mid-April. So there’s a kind of magic time between now and then, made even more special by the lack of competition. As an example, let’s look at zip code 22315 in Alexandria, Va. There are currently only 63 homes on the market…that’s everything from a 1-bedroom condo to over a million dollar listing. This is about what we saw in the go-go years of 2004 and 2005.
Some sellers have asked us…”well we get that supply is low, but what about demand?” We’re happy to report that January is reflecting a healthy appetite for both first-time buyers and move-up buyers, along with a high desire for over-55 new-home communities currently under construction. Continued low interest rates along with pent-up demand and low inventory makes this an excellent time to sell. If you are considering a sale, we’ll be happy to give you more detailed information tailored to your exact situation. We’ll ensure that you get the highest price the market will allow. Give us a call at 703-822-0207 or e-mail us at tomandcindy@hellovirginia.com anytime.
