Another Bristow Townhouse SOLD!

On March 11th (2015,) I activated a listing for a Bristow garage townhouse in Braemar.  I love selling listings in Braemar because that is my own neighborhood.  There is something so satisfying in having buyers flock to an area that I found appealing enough in which to buy.

The townhouse, located at 10153 Pale Rose Loop, was one of the smallest townhouses on the street.  It did have a refinished 10153 Pale Rose Loop in Bristow sold for $300,000 on April 20, 2015.deck and a private lot that backed to trees.  However, it was definitely feeling worn.  The darker paint on the walls showed the wear and tear of corner bangs and scraps up and down the walls.  The carpets showed their age in stains, wrinkles and just being worn down.  The owner was happy to get a painter in to paint the entire home a light, neutral color.  She was also on board with new carpeting throughout.  What a difference it made.

Main Level...light and bright with fresh paint and new carpet

It hit the market priced at $299,000.  And that carpet and paint got all the attention from the larger, neighboring property with more upgrades and the same wooded view for only $20,000.  After multiple offers, the house found its buyer on March 21st.

It was a quick road to settlement as the winning buyer had waived their home inspection contingency. And there were no worries about appraisal with the buyer's loan, but nonetheless, I met the appraiser with comps in hand, ready to answer any neighborhood questions.

On April 20th, this Bristow garage townhouse in Braemar sold for $300,000.  The buyers did request and recieve, $9,000 in closing cost help.  The Seller quickly found that most buyers looking for townhouses in Bristow are going to need some level of help.
