Every week Ritu Desai with Samson Properties releases weekly market activities that will impact home buyers, home sellers, landlords, and investors' decisions to buy a home or sell a home or rent a home in Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties. According to bright MLS Inventory -44.5% compared to last year this week last year. Even though the spring market is in full swing we are seeing a lack of seller's motivation to sell the home. It could be Over-housing or Where do I go reason. Lenders are seeing an uptick in mortgage applications. These are not primary home purchases but HELOC or 2nd loans with the equity the homeowners are sitting on. The sentiment is to update the home rather than venture into this tight inventory and uncertain market. This all leads to Home buyers house...

Lakeshore at Ashburn Village Market Update February 2023 The second half of 2022 was quite slow at Lakeshore.  Three condos were listed with one expiring and two selling.In comparison, this year is starting out great with four homes coming on the market. One was listed and closed in February, 2 went under contract in February and one is still activeHow are the prices?  With very little on the market in general but specifically at Lakeshore, they are still very strong.  The one home that sold was a 2 bedroom,  2 bath, top floor unit that was listed for $350,000 that sold for $362,000.  The two condos that are under contract went in 3 and 4 days so I think they will sell for close to list price if not more.  I'll let you know next month!Interested in buying or selling a home at Lakeshore?...

As you begin your homebuying journey, your first concern is probably, “How am I going to finance my house?”If you’ve missed a couple of credit card payments and your credit score is still recovering, or you once filed for bankruptcy, there are still loan options that will allow you to achieve your goal of homeownership.While your credit history does impact which loan programs, you’ll be likely to qualify for, past issues on your credit report don’t necessarily mean that you won’t be able to qualify for a loan.I will help you assess your personal financial situation and find the best loan option for you. One of those options might be a non-conforming loan.We will dive into learning what a non-conforming loan is, how they work, and whether one may be the best fit for you. What is a Non-Co...

 Here is the scenario . . . .  A buyer purchased a home that was listed for $800,000 but since multiple offers he paid $950,000 for the home to win the bid.  This was in 2021.  He put 10% down and carried a mortgage for $855,000. Now seller has to unexpectedly move for work and doesn't want to rent the home because his new job is taking him out of the country and wants to sell the property.  Now property is worth $825,000 (hopefully we get full price)  and there isn't enough equity to move forward with a standard sale even if he does a for sale by owner.  His other option is to bring money to the table to close if there isn't enough proceeds to pay his mortgage off.  We will see how this plays out.                                                                                          ...

The very first step in buying a home is making the decision that you’re ready to buy.  The next step after that is determining how much you can afford and what your financing options are.Getting pre-approved by a lender will help you accomplish both of those. It will also help set you apart from other potential buyers, showing a seller that you’re serious about buying and have the ability to get approved for a loan on the home.Now that you know you need to get pre-approved, you’re probably still left with some questions. What does pre-approval entail? How long does the process take? We will explain all the basics of getting pre-approved for a mortgage below. What Does Mortgage Pre-Approval Mean?You could guess that mortgage pre-approval means just that – you are pre-approved for a home ...
