Manassas, VA Garage Townhouse -- Sold Just in Time For Christmas

In mid-October, I was contacted by a first time buyer looking for a townhouse in Bristow, VA.  We went 9705 Cheshire Ridge Circle, Manassas, VA sold for $287,000 on December 16, 2015out only a couple of times before he found the townhouse pictured, located in Manassas, VA for $290,000.  My buyer had come to the quick realization that while he could afford Bristow, VA townhouses, he couldn't find a good sized one below $300,000 with a garage.  

This one had been on the market for a 158 days when he decided to make an offer on October 19th.  The same day the offer was made, an agreement was struck between my buyer and the sellers.  

The home inspection revealed very little of concern, especially considering the buyer was surrounded by family members that renovated homes for a living.  His uncle actually made a comment about one issue that If he had his ladder and tools, he would take care of it right then and there at the inspection.  So it was no surprise when my buyer asked for no repairs.  

It seemed a long wait for settlement, but on December 16th (2015,) this townhouse located in the Townes at Compton Farms, sold for $287,000.  ALL of my buyers closing costs were covered, to include one entire year of HOA payments.  Best of all, he will be in his new home before Christmas.  What a special holiday for him!

There are going to be some renovations, so even though it may not be ready for Christmas occupancy, it will be perfect when the buyer moves in.

Hey Chris Ann: It sounds like you and I share in common the wonderful feeling of closings close to Christmas. It's a little different than closing at other times of the year, and is actually becoming my favorite time to buy a home. Oh, what am I saying, right now is absolutely my favorite time of year to buy a home for many reasons, and Christmas Day, believe it or not, can be the best day ever!!

I agree.  I love selling homes this time of year.  And I'm seeing activity pick up on my listings too.  I think they may all be under contract in time for the sellers to be able to relax during the holidays.
