Looking for a Deal: Here's One Statistic You Need to Track
Everyone is looking for a deal. 
A dozen or so times a week, someone tells me "look out for a good deal for me," "I'm looking to get a great deal," "let me know if you see a deal."
Such a deal.  Everyone wants to wheel and deal when it comes to real estate. 
To quote a local area diamond merchant, "Nobody pays retail anymore, why should you?"
When looking for a deal in Northern Virginia real estate, there's one statistic that you need to track more than any other.  That statistic is the sales price to list price percentage.  These numbers will show you how much negotiating room there is in a particular area.  (If you are planning to sell your home, you need to know these numbers too to get a realistic view of what buyers will offer.)
Have I got a deal for you! 
Review this chart below that shows the figures for August 2008 comparing final sales prices with listing prices of homes in Northern Virginia jurisdictions, then contact me for more information on a specific zip code or local neighborhood that you are considering.
