I know you're just dying to know!!!!! But in 2008, approximately 4,130 people bought a home for sale in Alexandria VA!!!
From Alexandria City, to Alexandria of Fairfax County, over 4,000 buyers studied, searched the MLS, got approved for mortgages, viewed condos, townhomes, duplexes, single-family, luxury, and new construction homes for sale, worked with a buyers agent, submitted offers, negotiated, inspected, and CLOSED ON A NEW HOME!
You won't hear that on CNN or MSNBC, why? Because real estate is and always will be LOCAL!!!
In the sellers market, you were probably afraid NOT to buy because the prices were going up. You probably thought the prices were going to go up forever so you couldn't wait. You wanted to compete, waive contingencies, buy a home without even looking at it, and pay more than the asking price.
Now, you can be picky. You can see more homes, and you can probably see them more than once before making a decision to buy. You can negotiate, you can offer less than the asking price, you can ask for closing cost assistance, you can ask for repairs, you can get a KICK A-- interest rate, and you can PAYLESS if it APPRAISES for less.
You have all of the ingredients to buy the cheapest house in the most desireable zip code, school district, or neighborhood of your choice. Try waiting for the bottom, and all you'll get may be leftovers.
