Just Sold:  Rotonda Condo in Tysons Corner

On February 21, 2014 I listed a ground level, one bedroom/one bathroom condo in The Rotonda for $299,000.  It was priced to reflect the fact that the bathroom and kitchen had never been updated.  However, the owner had replaced the carpet and painted all but the kitchen, to prepare the home for market.  

On February 28th, a serious buyer stepped forward and made an offer. After a couple hours of negotiating, the terms were mutually agreed upon by buyer and seller.  And after the The Rotonda in Tysons Corner, Building 2home inspection, the terms were negotiated once more.  When a home was built in 1978 and has an original furnace that appears to have not been serviced in a couple years, a buyer can get nervous.  And since this was an estate sale, and the owner-occupant had passed away, there was no way to verify what had or had not been done.  So an adjustment to the sales price was requested by the buyer and granted by the seller.

On March 31st, this one bedroom/one bathroom home at Tysons Corner's Rotonda sold for $290,000.  It is not a sale that is setting any records for highest price in the condo development, but given the lack of updates and upgrades to the home, it was a very fair price.  Both buyer and seller were very pleased.

If you have a Northern Virginia home you want to sell, call me for a free market analysis of your home's value.  With the high buyer demand we are seeing in 2014, you may be pleasantly surprised at what your home is potentially worth in the current marketplace.

Beth:  Thanks.  The seller and I had lunch after closing and I was very pleased to hear I made the sale easy and even enjoyable.  Given the circumstances of the death of the seller's mother, which prompted the sale, it was a HUGE compliment.  The last thing I wanted was to make it more intense or unpleasant than it already had to be.

I'd say congrats but you don't really need it because you work hard and get results as part of your job, but I'll say it anyway. Congratulations!! I love how the condos are lit up in a golden glow, too.

It's always a little touchy and sensitive when there is a death that precipitates a sale, but I know you handle those situations with compassion and grace.

Chris Ann, Congratulations on the sale of this condo. It sounds like a fair price was reached given that two major areas had not been updated. Updated kitchens and bathrooms generally command higher prices.

Hi Chris Ann - Tysons Corner is a great location and it sounds as if this condo at The Rotonda is ready for the new homeowner to imprint their own style.   Congrats.

Lou:  Thanks!

Kathleen:  We're very fortunate this buyer could see beyond the old cabinets, counters, floors and wallpaper in the kitchen.  

Michael:  The location is so close to just about anything a person could need.  Shopping. Transit. And there are so many companies located there that if you worked in the area, it would be like you never had to leave the area at all.
