This Warrenton, VA Short Sale, Priced at $248,000 is Most Certainly NOT an Illusion

By
Real Estate Agent with Long and Foster Real Estate VA License # 0225089470

I walked into my Long & Foster office in Gainesville, Virginia this afternoon after a long Monday.  A Monday is a Monday no matter what you do for a living and mine got started off on the wrong foot because I made the critical mistake of stepping on the scale before heading out for the day.  Guess it'll be water and salad for me for a while.  Not that my Broker noticed the extra "fluff."  The outfit I was wearing must have hid those extra pounds.  She commented on my slimming down.  It's an optical illusion and we ladies are great at them.

This Warrenton, Virginia Short Sale is no illusion.  It's a VHDA Short Sale, which means we're dealing with a local bank (only one bank) and already have a negotiator who has told us that it will take a MAX of 45 days, MINIMUM of 30 days, to go through the process.  So a buyer really doesn't have to wait very long to get in and make it home.

The price was also trimmed down today from $265,000 to $248,000. That is most certainly NOT an illusion either.  With that new and improved list price, it won't be long before a buyer falls in love with this end unit, two car garage condo in the Ridges of Warrenton. 

A light filled kitchen is open to the living-dining room combo and proudly welcomes you to the composite deck just off the breakfast area.  The main level Master Suite is a sought after feature these days, and this one won't disappoint.  It's a large room, with a walk-in closet to match.  The attached Master Bathroom has a dual vanity, stall shower and plenty of space.

Upstairs is a loft area outside the remaining two generously sized bedrooms.  There is also an additional full bathroom with a tub/shower combo on the upper level that these bedrooms share.  The basement offers a large finished area that could easily accomodate a home theater, game room, exercise area or any combination of your favorite activities.

Condo fees are $175 per month and cover the exterior maintenance of the unit such as siding and roof replacement. The condo association will also provide fresh mulch to the garden beds and mow your lawn.  

This three level condo offers an open floor plan, convenient location and an EASY Short Sale transaction.  Don't wait to schedule your tour.  Call me today.

Love the photograph of the light streaming into the breakfast room of this Warrenton condo.  Sounds like an easy short sale transaction for a buyer.

Chris Ann - I wish every short sale had one lender and it's even better that this beautiful Warrenton VA home for sale already has a negotiator assigned.  Happy Selling!

Michelle:  A negotiator that only needs four pieces of documentation:  A preliminary HUD, Sales Contract, Hardship Letter and Proof of the Hardship.

Chris Ann, I love the presentation of this house. Great photos and description. Especially wonderful that you have a bank that is ready to move quickly. But, I really like your intro to this post! So the lesson I will take away is "don't step on the scale to start your week off"! lol Hope the week ends up being a great one for you.

Hi Chris, this condo in Warrenton VA will sell fast! It's beautiful and I'm sure end units are sought after like they are here. Usually means a few extra windows and a little more property area.

Nina:  Unless you are expecting a loss, stepping on the scale to start the week is a bummer.

Elizabeth:  Our market is cooling off a bit in this price range, but this one will get noticed sooner rather than later.

Jackie:  I think end unit in this case also means the difference between a one car garage vs. a two car garage.  Who couldn't use that extra garage space?

You always present your listings so well, Chris Ann. It's not just the home staging but your descriptions are lively, vibrant and engaging. As for that extra 5 pounds, I hear ya. I hate it when people say how skinny I look when I know the real truth -- should not have devoured half a pizza thinking it didn't count because I ate it over the sink. It all counts.

Elizabeth:  That's a very welcome compliment.  And today, I needed it.  I'm stumped on a presentation of a listing I have in Chantilly.  It's a gray, overcast day here in VA and I'm just stumped.
