What to Look For in a Home as a Buyer
With summer approaching, I wanted to help all of my buyers in Fairfax with their home searches. In this short video, I will be discussing what is important to look for. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect home. Unless you're building a custom home on a new lot, there will be some compromises that you have to make.
Having said that, you should have an idea of some things that you will not be willing to compromise on when it comes to your new home. Cosmetic issues like the color of the paint or the carpeting can be changed after the fact, so don't sweat these things so much.
What you really need to worry about are the things that you cannot change. Some examples would be the floor plan or the location of the home. Instead of focusing on whether or not there is granite in the kitchen, you should be considering the structures that surround the home because these things cannot be changed.
This is just something to keep in mind as you walk from home to home. Of course, you may have to compromise here and there because no house is perfect, but make sure you stick tight to the things that are really important to have in your home.
We always tell our clients to focus on the bones of the house and not to get distracted with the siding. You can always put some extra TLC into the home after you buy.
As always, if you have any questions about this topic or about real estate in Fairfax, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email. We look forward to hearing from you!
