NEED TO MOVE IN SOON?
Most resale homes are "move-in ready" and can be occupied by the new home owners within a few weeks or a couple of months. Average settlement in the Virginia real estate market place is 30-45 days. This is sufficient time to get full mortgage approval, all of the desired inspections, survey, scheduling the move in dates for the home buyers and move out dates for the home seller. Buyer takes possession and seller gives possession of property on the day of settlement about 99% of the time in this area. There are provisions for early or Pre-Settlement Occupancy for buyers on vacant homes. There are also provisions for rental of the sold home through a Post Settlement Occupancy for the sellers. However, these agreements are rare and to be avoided if possible.
THE HOUSE MAY HAVE A FINISHED BASEMENT.
Most homes in Northern Virginia have basements. New homes are sold with unfinished basements. By the time a home owners has owned the home for more than a year or two, they will often contract to have the basement finished meaning that the space will be finished to provide a recreation room, perhaps a bedroom or two and a full or half bath. Builders also offer finished basements as an option when the home is built. Finished basements add value to a home, but at a less value per square foot than above grade finished square feet.
RESALE HOMES USUALLY OFFER ESTABLISHED LANDSCAPING
Most builders offer a landscaping package of a shrubs and ground covers as well as a sodded or seeded grass covering for the yard. Many home owners, however, like to garden and will have added additional shrubbery to the landscaping. This landscaping is often very lovely and adds visual appeal to a resale home, but not much to the price. Home owners may have planted bulbs, annual plantings or additional ground covers as well as border trees, fruit trees, decorative trees and often decks, gazebos or other yard decorations will add beauty to resale homes.
When looking for homes for sale in Northern Virginia, resale homes often make a lot of sense.
