Make Your Move on this South Riding Townhouse, Listed for $299,000

Somtimes a great home, in a great location at a great price can seem invisible to Buyers if it's a Short SaleThis is one of those homes.  It's a three bedroom, two full/two half bath, one car garage townhouse in the sought after community of South Riding.  It is competitively priced to allow for new carpet  and other minor repairs, which STILL puts this home well below the average sales price of about $330,000.  As I said, it is a Short Sale, and is HAFA approved (meaning the bank set the price and has already approved the sale at that price.)  So this is EXACTLY the type of Short Sale folks are usually looking for.  It is also nicely upgraded with hardwood floors and ceramic tile on the main level, and upgraded half baths also with ceramic tile. 

In an effort to make this house overcome it's problem of invisibility, I've put together a video tour with some catchy music from my childhood of the 70's.  Don't discount this South Riding townhouse because it's a Short Sale.

Looks like a great home with some lovely touches. (Love the nook where the flowers are...lvoe those kind of details!) And South Riding is beautiful. Good luck!

Shannon:  This home has loads of potential for someone who is willing to write an offer on a Short Sale.  And there's no risk to this Short Sale either, being HAFA approved.

Cindy:  I thought so too.  I was inspired.

Hi Chris Ann, approved? That is a buyer's dream! And it's a nice home too. Best of both worlds. And you know short sales so the process will be smooth. I am sure this will sell quickly!

Jackie:  For some reason, the very thing Buyers and their agents want is practically invisible to them right now.  We'll see what happens as it warms up here in Northern Virginia.

Pat:  It only takes one Buyer falling in love to make my Seller happy.

Pam:  Thanks.  We'll see what happens next.

Short Sales deserve the same full marketing that a regular sale should get. Having the bank set the price is even better.

Ellie:  I would have thought so six months ago, but now I'm not so sure.  It's like there is some sort of reverse psychology or something going on with Buyers. Not approved--can't keep them away.  Approved at a certain price---they want to haggle.
