Let me go on the record to say if you are searching for a townhome in the Lake Ridge Virginia area you are in for a huge shock! This is not a sales pitch, or fabricated story to get you to buy. I live here in Lake Ridge and work here everyday. Trust me when I say the process of securing a home takes a great deal of work, and much of your success will be in how flexible you are. As one man put it yesterday who is relocating from lower Virgina " I feel like I've entered the Twilight Zone...what's happening in Woodbridge Virginia? How can I find a home to move into?" The answer...remain flexible.
Flexible:
- Able to leave work to see a house
- You have your loan pre-approved and your ready to buy
- You have proof of funds -if you write an offer stating a huge down payment
- You can settle quickly if need be
- Or you are willing to wait months for a short sale
- Don't rely on weekends for house hunting. Read my post Weekend Buyer Loosing...
The chart below represents the Townhome Activity in Lake Ridge Virginia since January 01,2009. Currently there is less than a months worth of inventory available. However that said, many of the active homes noted here are not available. Why? Read More on how a Buyer Agent can save you time. Prices have dipped so low ( insanely low...stupid low) and the $8000 Home Buyer Incentive is nearing expiration.The incentive program ends on December 1,2009 and buyers are out and seriously motivated to secure a home now.
