Wow, that's a loaded question and one that we get all the time. "The caller has been approved to purchase a home up to $650,000 with VA Financing. So you would think they would have a lot of choices, right? Well, not so in Fairfax County, Virginia and not when you consider what he is looking for and where."
The caller stated, they have looked at countless homes online and cannot seem to find the type of home they would like to live in. They were looking for a relatively short commute to Fort Belvior in Lorton Virginia, yet they wanted a newer home, with a half acre yard or more, and they would prefer a planned community atmosphere. Not to mention they strongly desired a neighborhood school.
Trust me that is a tall order close to Fort Belvior,Virginia. You can find many wonderful older homes built in the late 1970's and early 1980's. (see chart below) Some have been remodeled, some not. All have small rooms, and far less amenities that today's homes have. If you are willing to consider an older home, many boast nice landscaped lots. There are also new homes new home with luxury baths, big closets, spacious open floor-plans,however you will need to compromise on lot size and the planned community idea.
The callers says.."Peggy I have looked at so many homes online, are their any other options we are not looking at. Can you help us? "
I love when I get that question!
My first questions is where do you want to draw the line? Literally, I can show them on a map just how futile their search is. I can take them out of their misery and help them start dealing with the reality of what they want vesus what Fairfax County Virginia has to offer compared to just ten miles down the road in Prince William County, Virginia.
This was his reality! I shared with the caller, let do a map search by drawing a line on our Search For Homes Map Based Web Search below you can see you are really looking for a needle in a haystack!
