Another Adventure Of A Buyer's Agent in Loudoun County VA - New or Resale?? - Dad Can Help.

QUESTION:  Can we buy a home in Loudoun County for under $500,000 in the 2,500 square feet range?

ANSWER:  Absolutely.  Home buyers can buy NEW or RESALE homes of that size and in that price range in Loudoun County.

LOUDOUN COUNTY HAS MUCH TO OFFER HOME BUYERS IN THE "UNDER $500,000" PRICE RANGE. 

Previewing homes in Leesburg and Ashburn in the "under $500,000 price range" was interesting.  Of the six resale homes we toured Sunday, 2 are already under contractHomes in this price range, $500,000 or less, in these eastern Loudoun County locations, are selling well and if a buyer sees one they believe will work for them, it's wise to be ready to make a decision or that home may be soon gone.

DAD HAS SOME GOOD ADVICE.  First time home buyers will often seek advice from friends, relatives or co-workers.  This time it was good old DAD.

FAVORING NEW HOMES OVER OLDER HOMES.  In addition to the six resales we toured, we also toured one new home community in Leesburg.  Not surprising, the buyers seem to favor new construction.  Considering some of the defects observed in some of the resales, it's not surprising.  So, when these buyers spoke with her dad and he recommended the new construction, that's a strong vote for a new home.  So, now we've expanded the search to Purcellville, Round Hill and Hamilton, all within a reasonable commute of the job locations. 

MEET THE BUILDER.  I'll be on the road today previewing the available lots and walking the models again.  I've seen them all but it is always helpful to meet with the builder's representative prior to touring with home buyers.

LENN- we took the same advice for our first home in Houston where everything close in was well over priced. Starting with a new home is perfect for first time buyers... You aren't spending all of your CRT time and money working on it!

Kathy.  That's for sure.  Every single resale we saw needed work.  The owners are so used to seeing what is, they've forgotten what should be in terms of condition. 

Makes you wonder, If I could see the bare wood exposed in the front door frame and sill, couldn't the owners???

Lenn- your "bare wood exposed in the front door frame" made me think of the house I saw with the light switch hanging by one screw.  All it would have taken is another screw and 1 minute of time.

Jan.  Thanks.

Kathy.  That house was 15 years old and needed paint on wood trim.  A home inspector is certainly going to list it.
