Sold in Washington DC
Brightwood is one of the most popular residential communites in Northwest DC. When my buyer started her home search toward the end of 2014, the Brightwood real estate market was very competitive. In fact, this wasn't her first home, we wrote multiple offers with escalation clauses, yes, in the last quarter of the year when supposedly houses don't sell. The competition was stiff.
This buyer was referred to me from another client, and was quick to use one of my preferred local lenders to obtain her mortgage approval. After searching and writing offers on homes that were renovated and move-in ready, we revised our game plan and focused her search on fixer upper homes for sale in DC, or homes that needed some work. This was the right thing to do because there was a smaller pool of buyers, which meant less competition. In the end, my buyer was able to purchase a home BELOW list price as opposed to escalating thousands of dollars above the asking price.
