In the past months inventory in the $350,000 to $500,000 price range has dried up, especially in the Lake Ridge Virginia area. Buyers who had hoped to remain in the Lake Ridge Virginia, area are facing new challenges as inventory dwindles. The challenges they face are these:
- Do they chance renting month to month in hopes that a home comes on the market in their price range in the community they want?
- Do they open themselves up to nearby communities?
- How do they tell the children they are moving to a different school district?
- Do they seize the opportunity available or do they wait...?
- Will interest rates go higher as the dust settles?
- How can we pass up the $8000 Tax Credit?
So many of the homebuyers we've met over the past several months have been faced with these very real challenges. Change is always difficult, and when you are faced with leaving everything you've learned to love in the community, it's hard. For example yesterday one of our customers went to closing. It was last fall we began working with them. They had hoped to find a single family home in Westridge to buy when their lease ended in April. No such luck! They only had a budget of $450,000. They were alerted by our Home Finder System to every home that came on the market that was serviced by Westridge Elementary School. We have several buyers looking for homes in the Westridge Subdivision, however very few homes are available. This family was loosing hope for buying a home. After much discussion they began to open themselves up to the possibilities. Soon they realized they could find way more than they ever dreamed of just be expanding their search criteria outside the Westridge Elementary School Boundaries.

That is what I love the most about helping buyers. Helping them discover new possibilities, and helping them attain a home they never ever dreamed they could own. Let me show you how we helped these folks go from a rental town home to a huge single family home.
They currently live in the Westridge Subdivision of Lake Ridge Virginia. They rent a large 2000 sq ft town home built by NV Homes. The only home they could afford to buy in Westridge, was a home that was lacking the luxury bath, high ceilings and large gourmet kitchen.
So, with a little coaching and exploring their options...they choose to relocate toMeadowbrook Woods. Why? It's still close to everything they know. The community is wonderful gas community very similar to Westridge. The main difference is it is not a mixed use community,there are only single family homes in Meadowbrook Woods.
Look what they were able to move to...at closing they got back $1500 dollars! The loan they used was VA and the down payment was ZERO!
What kind of home do you have in mind? Let us know what your looking for.
This weekend they will be moving into a 4500 sq ft home with four bedrooms,a full finished basement, and a two car garage on a half acre lot backing to woods! This home was listed by Long and Foster. We represented the buyers as Buyers Agents.If you have been thinking about buying a home, now is an amazing time to do so.
