condos alexandria: Three Things Condo Buyers Should Know - 07/01/10 10:11 PM
Now could be a great time for home buyers to find a great deal on a condominium.
Here are three things that potential buyers of condos should consider:
1. Is this condo likely to fall further in price? Part of the answer is in falling or rising local inventory - even if sales have picked up recently.
2. Is this a fair price? Condo prices are more volatile than single-family homes. One big consideration is whether buyers in this particular complex are likely to be able to qualify for a mortgage. If the complex has too many renters, for instance, the … (2 comments)

condos alexandria: Single Women, Condo Living and Everything In-Between - 11/13/09 06:01 AM
Recent studies suggest that single women currently make up approximately 47 percent of the condominium buying market in the United States. The reason is pretty obvious, if you think about it. Condominiums are an increasingly popularly housing choice for single women because of the various benefits that condos offer including convenience, security, and often virtually maintenance-free living.
For starters, security matters. For single women living alone in large, urban areas, one of the many benefits of living in a condominium are 24-hour concierge and security desks, video and security cameras in hallways and stairwells, and gated or enclosed parking areas. … (1 comments)

condos alexandria: Lofts and townhouse-style condominiums - 07/20/09 07:41 AM
For some people one of the benefits of condo living is that everything is on one level. Many there are no stairs inside the unit of some condominiums. For those in wheelchairs, for the elderly, or for those who just like life without stairs, this is a big advantage. But for some people, life on one level is just not enough.
Lofts and bilevel condominiums offer condo-style living, but doesn't limit life to just one level. One of my favorite examples of this is found in the top floor units at the Tiers of Manchester.
The Tiers are "swiss-style" condominiums. … (2 comments)

condos alexandria: Tips for Selling in This Tough Economy - 11/16/08 07:18 AM
Condos are often the most volatile real estate investments. When prices go up, they go WAY up in a condo. When prices go down, competition is fierce to sell. In a tough market here are some great ideas Via Mykel Martin:

Via Leigh Newport Staged by Design Northern Virginia:
I love Fall. However, cool weather and afternoon light are just the beginning of what quickly turns into the chaos of back to back holidays.

You'll find skeleton costumes right next to the turkey decorations that are a mere aisle away from the Christmas lights.
