home buyer information: New Home With In-Law Suites In Prince William County, Virginia - 06/17/18 06:29 PM
Two Homes in One Come to Prince William County, Virginia!
I have met so many people in the past several years who need a place for Mom or Dad. Boomers including myself are looking for housing opportunities to have two sometimes three generations under one roof. The problem is many times the homes built over the last twenty years were large McMansions which none of us need or want. The rooms are not where we need them if only they could use covert the living room and dining room into an in-law suite.
Of course, we have 55+ Communities such as Four Seasons and … (0 comments)

Is Downsizing On Your Mind?
 
The idea of downsizing has been on my mind for awhile since we are empty nesters ourselves. We live in a lovely fifty-year-old three level colonial in Mount Vernon, Virginia that has a half acre lot and rooms we never even enter.
Does that Sound familiar?  
I help people buy and sell homes every day and yet the thought of doing it myself one more time seems daunting the older I get. We have had six homes within a 15-mile radius in thirty-three years of marriage. So we have moved every 5.5 years. Not until I just wrote this … (0 comments)

Buyers in Woodbridge, Virginia looking for Homes Under $400,000
 
As a Buyer Specialist here in Northern Virginia I am always  looking for the best value for my buyers. I was out house hunting with a Relocating buyer and they asked
"Where can I find a new home under $400,000 between Fort Belvoir and Quantico?"
That is a tough question as buyers are getting caught pushing their price points up if they want a new home. Two years ago you could have purchased a new single family home for under $400,000 but no longer. The lowest base price of a new single family home  is now $425,000 … (0 comments)

 Woodbridge,Virginia Home Buyer say's, " Home Buying Looks Confusing"
 
          Buying a Home can be confusing but it does not need to be.
 
 When buying a home you have a few choices on how you want to go about it
You can try to buy on your own FSBO (warning can lead to frustration) You can use Zillow and Truilla and run around to Open Houses then find 
someone to help when you think you have found the home (not recommended) Or you can align yourself from the start with a buyer agent who will guide you through the process step by step.

Are you dreaming of a home with a Main Level Owners Suite?
 
This past year I have worked with four couples who were Baby Boomers who owned older three level homes and were ready to downsize their homes and more importantly get the main level living they longed for. All owned homes that were 25+ years old and their owners suites were on the upper floor and they were ready to simplify life. Each had or knew someone who had suffered a medical issue that got them thinking
"What if I can't climb stairs in the future?"
With each set of buyers, the … (0 comments)

Misinformation can cost you your Dream Home in Woodbridge, Virginia
I love doing Open Houses  because I get to meet so many buyers who have come out from behind the computer to see the homes in person.
Most are savvy  they know what they are looking for and have been pre-approved which is awesome.I am finding many are walking around with a pre-approval that is 60- 90 days old. Folks the lending world changes often just like the real estate market so buyers need to have their pre-approvals updated  here is why.
