Lake Ridge Virginia Real Estate Help For Sellers and Buyers: Virginia: Dale City

Just a few days ago, I posted about a home that we listed at 14325 Springbrook Ct, Dale City, Virginia 22193.

I did all the things I normally do for all our sellers. I make sure I prepare a marketing plan that is specifically tailored for their home. On day one of the day I listed the home they had a virtual tour, a private website, buyers could access information via text, QR codes, email, and on countless sites on the web. Erick and Company never rely's on the sign and the MLS alone.

The result.....many,many showings and a full price offer within seven days!

Success another home Under Contact and the sellers are thrilled, nervous and excited to take the next step...to find their new home.

If you have a home you need to sell, please give me a call and I will be happy to assist you.

Finding a home with a large level fenced yard is not always easy.Typically you have to search a lot of listings and do a lot of trips in the car for before you find the lot you are looking for.  Well, if that has happened to you, you are in for a nice surprise. Take a look at this totally remodeled home in Dale City Virginia. This is a Hyltonian Floor plan. That is the largest home built in the older sections of Dale City. What makes this one unique is not only the size of the yard, but what has been done to this home. It's fabulous at every turn. Never mind the fact it has the type of yard you've been dreaming of. You know where you can have an impromptu football game when all the relatives are over, or maybe you have a few dogs, and you really need a big fenced yard so you can put in an in-ground pool. No matter what lifestyle you've been dreaming of, chances are you may have been searching in a higher price thinking you would never find everything you wanted priced under $275,000! Yes, you read that right.

• The home is well over two thousand square feet inside
• The owners really expanded the living space on this home with a screened porch
• They added an amazing decking system
• It has a pristine patio area underneath. 
• The hardwoods are gleaming inside
• The home boasts five bedrooms and three baths!
• The kitchens and baths are totally renovated
• There is a workshop area in the lower level
• The house is listed for $274,900!

"Best of all, it is not a short sale or foreclosure sale. This is a healthy sale." That means if you see it today, and you ask Erick Blackwelder or myself to help you negotiate an offer, chances are good you could be moving into this home within a month or so!

I listen intently to their reasoning and then we move on and we begin to search for homes and area's that they have their hearts set on. However, I always listen to what they are hoping to find. It as this point in the buying process, that I truly believe the purchaser may not be saying" NO", as much as they may be saying" I don't Know." ( They do not know enough to make an informed decision).

Dale City Virginia is not only a place,the postal service recognizes it ,as an entire zip code area. That zip code is 22193. So when you are searching on FranklyMLS.com or Realtor.comThis a very old community started way back in the 1950's. It stretches from I-95 to Hoadly Rd in Woodbridge Virginia. That stretch is almost seven miles. The closer you are to I-95 you will drive through older neighborhoods with little homes and old townhomes and strip malls up and down the road. The vision or memory peg most folks have of Dale City are homes such as the one to the right.

Fast forward to 2005 and beyond.Homes in the 22193 zip code area have not only risen in price but in quality as well. Over the years builders snapped up land in the 22193 zip code area because it was affordable. Located between Quantico and Ft Belvoir and within driving distance to the Pentagon made this area a very sought after area for those at the nearby military bases, and for those who commute to DC everyday.

So when searching for your home, make sure you hire an agent who knows the area well.Someone who will not just open doors to the homes you find, someone who will actively help you find he home you are dreaming of owning.  The reason,if you have your heart set on high ceilings, luxury bath, hard counter-tops, a big back yard and a spacious home,then you do not have to settle for anything less, just because you didn't KNOW where the homes were and what the neighborhoods were like. You will kick yourself if you learn later, just a mile or so down the road was the homes of your dreams! Dale City Virginia isn't the Dale City Virginia you remember. For those of you who are pre-approved for a home loan of $350,000 to $600,000, these are some of the neighborhoods where you will find everything you are looking for and more. Cardinal Crest,Cardinal Crossing, Cardinal Point, White Oak, Colony Woods, Cardinal Station, Cardinal Ridge, Minnieville Manor, Sequioa (contemporary homes!), Lake Terrapin, Manors of Ridgefield, County Center, Saratoga Hunt, Dale City, Beau Ridge Estates,Stratford Glen, Westwind,Winidng Creek ,Rutherford Day and Spriggs Run Estates.

Is this what you have in mind? Both of these homes are located in a neighborhood classified as Dale City Virginia. Look what you have been missing!

Just down the street from these homes is the County Center Complex, the farm team for the Nationals Baseball Leaque, Harris Teeter Shopping Center, Starbuck, I-Hop, Moe's Southwest Grill, Ruby Tuesdays and more..

 Remember to hire a A good buyer agent who will listen carefully to what you are saying you want.

One thing I love about summer is heading to the local Farmer's Market. Since I live in Lake Ridge Virginia, the closet one to me on the weekend is located off Dale Blvd between Minnieville Rd and Hillendale Rd in the commuter parking lot.( see Google Map below)

This particular farmers market has been open for years and people flock to this place in droves. So come early! You'll  find,fresh local produce, plants, honey's and jams, kettle corn, flowers and  as well as homemade bake goods. There is something for everyone.

When I first got into real estate that was when Lake Ridge VA was just beginning to be built. I remember visiting Dale City and thinking I don't want to drive that far. It seemed so far away back then. The main access road was I-95 and or head down Route 1 to Woodbridge and turn right when you get to Dale Blvd.  

Well over the years Dale City grew up and matured into clusters of neighborhoods, shopping centers with lots of services for the entire eight mile stretch down Dale Blvd. There are several commuter lots, commuters to DC can use car pool, ride the bus or slug. The Rippon Landing VRE Station is another option for those heading to DC. Shopping Centers are sprinkled throughout the community and there are several was to get to Dale City. You can use Hoadly Rd, Ridgefield Rd, Hillendale Rd, Minnieville Rd or Gideon. They all lead to Dale City VA! 

When Wegman's anchored a store in  Dale City, that also helped bring more folk to the area. If you have been considering buying a home, and you are looking for a home an affordable single family homes chances are very good you will find it in the 22193 zip code area. You can get a lot of house for the money in the Dale City and surrounding communities! I recently wrote a post called Dale City Virginia Has A Something For Every Buyers Budget.  where I explain where Dale City VA is, and what it is like.

Dale City Virginia - Where Is It, And What's The Community Like?

Dale City is about 25 miles South of DC. It's doesn't have a downtown like Old Town Manassas or Occoquan. It's not even a Home Owners Association Community. It was built before huge planned sub-divisions with amenities became the norm.Dale City is made up of dozens of neighborhoods. Dale City was started way back in the 70's by Cecil Hyton after the post war housing boom, and back then the homes were modest starter homes and small townhomes.  Today there are more than 60,000 residents and over  20,000 homes in Dale City!

It's not the Dale City most folks remember..it's changed and in a good way.

What I find most  interesting about Dale City, Virginia is, as the community was built and streets formed they were added alphabetically.( such as Ashdale, Birchdale, CherryDale and so on, all the way to Hoadly Rd where they are now building new homes in the Q Sections! I'm not sure if Cecil Hylton had that vision or master plan sketched out on a note pad way back then or if it just happened. I've lived in this area for 25 years and I've never learned that little piece of information. If someone knows, please comment below and tell us about the things you like about living there.          

From the air, I understand the community is fashioned a grid like system. Dale Blvd is the main artery which runs from I-95 (Dale City Exit) to Hoadly Rd. From beginning to end the distance is about seven miles. Whenever I have clients in the car, "I always say,if you get lost in Dale City, just get yourself onto a street that ends with Dale and you will wind up on main road. Then just decide if you need to go east or west!"

Did you know that if you Google Dale City, Virginia there is a wikipedia definition for it?  

Single Family Homes range in size from starter homes of 1400 sq ft up to 5000 sq ft in the Estate Series. Price ranges start at $150,000 and go up to $500,000. Search Active Homes For Sale Now  

Townhome neighborhoods range from older townhomes in the low $100,000 to large garage townhomes that boast 2400 sq ft up to $300,000.  Search Active Homes For Sale in Dale City Now

The heart of Dale City is at the corner of Minnieville Rd and Dale Blvd. There you will find four strip shopping centers, one in every direction. Potomac Mills Mall is less than five miles away. At the far end of Dale Blvd, where you find the newest built homes you will find The Boys and Girls Club and Skate Nation, as well as the Mapledale Shopping Center and then the new Food Lion Shopping Center and Harris Teeter Shopping Center on Hoadly Rd.

Some folks remember Dale City as the place with the little houses. There are still lots of little houses and many have been purchased by investors and refurbished and we are seeing neighborhoods change. The community boasts over 20,000 homes and more than 63,000 people. Take a drive one day down the Prince William Parkway, and turn left on Hoadly Rd and be prepared to see lots of affordable homes that are less than five years old! They offer high ceilings, many with luxury baths and big flat yards. Dale City is well known for larger lot sizes. Better yet, if you are someone who just hates home owners associations rules and regulations, then relax most of Dale City does not have an HOA! So if you really want to keep you boat in the driveway...you can.
