Here is some great real estate information you can use if you're looking to buy OR sell a home in the Ashburn Virginia area and surrounding communities.
Home sales are picking up, inventory is shrinking fast and multiple offers are coming back to the market.
Here's The Deal:
- 309 Homes SOLD in the last 45 days!
- 109 Homes are in CONTRACT right now! (all inspections completed)
- 149 Homes are UNDER CONTRACT status! (the beginning of the inspections/due diligence phase)
As far as Active for sale properties go:
- 295 Homes for Sale that are standard/traditional sales
- 4 (that's right, 4)Homes for Sale are being sold as Short Sales
Do you need the seller to help pay for your closing costs? This could be a problem...
Only 125 sellers out of 309 paid any type of closing costs to the buyers. Days on market is also shrinking so that makes buying a home even more challenging. Right now in Ashburn (20147), the average days on market is 22!
So, how do you succeed in buying a home in today's real estate market?
- Partner with a good Buyer's Agent out of the gate. Find someone you like and trust to help you get (notice I said get, not find) what you're looking for.
- Get pre-approved IMMEDIATELY. Being pre-approved (or approved) allows you to go out shopping and being able to buy as soon as you see "the home".
- Make sure you're working with a good mortgage lender that can close quickly and hit all the deadlines specified in your offer to purchase the home.
- Make sure you sign up to get email notifications when a home comes on the market. Simply go to Ashburn VA homes to get homes delivered to you via email.
- Last but not least, it doesn't cost you a dime to use a Realtor to help you buy a home and represent your interests. Make sure you find someone who can help you write that winning offer and get the home you're looking for.
In Ashburn, 280 Home Owners are selling and moving up, moving down or moving away and 280 Home Buyers are buying their dream home :-) If you're thinking of selling or buying now is the time to contact your favorite Realtor. It's never too early in this seller's market.
