Now that March is in full spring as measured by the first blooming forsythias and star magolias, buyers are starting to make the rounds to our Sunday open houses. Not by the hundreds, but then again it's not quite so easy to get a loan either. There is no doubt that the market will pick up with the rising temperatures, the question on everyone's mind is "How much?"
If you are planning on dipping your toes into the market, get yourself a good agent who will halp you establish a realistic price for both sellers and buyers. Price is the byword for the new market. Of the three variables, Location, Condition and Price, there is not much you can do about the first two. For a seller it is so important to get the price right the first time. (It has to do with momentum.) For the buyer, trying to get a good property for a song will usually get you nowhere. Prices may be lower, but one has to be realistic.
We are full service agents, licensed in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia. If you are selling, we'll help you arrive at a realistic price for your home and guide you through every step of the process.
