Just Sold:  Active Adult Condo in Four Seasons Ashburn

Pulling comps when you are going on a listing appointment can be intimidating.  Looking back in the condo sales for Four Seasons Ashburn, I found six sales and two pending in the last six to This condo was not the most spacious, but the Seller followed my staging advice and it photographed & showed very well.eight months of activity.  I was about to list one of the smallest units, one I had sold this home owner years earlier.  Average sales price was $249,400.  Average days on market was 103 days for the solds, 32 days for the pendings.  However, his was a former model and nicely decked out.  The highest sales price we could find was $275,000 and that was a larger unit.  We talked it over and listed it for $264,900.  

I gave staging advice, which my client took to heart.  What a pleasure to photograph.  I must have had eighty photos of the two bedroom, two bathroom condo when I left.  I When a condo shows this well, and is priced well, it goes quickly.whittled those photos down to a reasonable 30, some of which included the community clubhouse.  The photos were perfect, but of of course I made sure of that.  I spend a lot of time tweaking them until they are just right.  Photos sell houses.

The condo hit the market May 6, 2014.  Just six days later it had a cash offer with only a coinciding settlement contingency.  

On June 13th (2014) this Four Seasons Ashburn condo sold for $265,000.  This is one that will improve the stats for the neighborhood.
