As we head into winter many homeowners think it is a horrible time try to sell your home in the Lake Ridge, Woodbridge, Virginia Area. Most think they should just wait until spring. Nothing could be further from the truth this year. "The Winter Advantage is fast at work and high end homes are selling quickly."
The Winter Advantage is when you take advantage of the slower time of year and the low inventory and use it to your advantage! While most folks settle in for a long winter dreaming of spring and getting the house ready to sell, you'll be smiling all the way to the settlement table! That's because home buyers are out in droves this year, due to the extension of the home buyer tax credit! The challenge is, there are not enough homes for sale. So the homes that do come on the market get a solid non-contingent offer and head to settlement quickly. So my question for you is, what would you do if you could sell your home over the next two months? Would that take the pressure off? Would you be able to relocate? Would that allow you to buy a home with a larger kitchen or a bigger bath, or maybe one with all the luxuries you don't have now? Well, whatever your motivation is, the timing is perfect to sell your home.
Today I am going to show you what is happening in the 22192 zip code area for homes priced above $450,000. Most people think these homes are not selling. They are wrong! Take a look:
