Fairfax Ridge Condo Weekly Report 1/17/09-2/06/09

MyFairfaxRidgeCondo.com

Relevant Real Estate Information for the Fairfax Ridge Condo Community

INTRODUCTION

I did not have a weekly report out last week because honestly this market is getting crazy right now. I am working with 4-5 buyers and just had 2 of them compete in multiple offers on homes. We negotiated and it looks like we got both of them !

There are so many buyers out right now looking its crazy. I know the media says this is bad market well the NOVA market is different. I see it everyday and homes going off the market very quickly and multiple offers on homes. There are some great steals and first time home buyers and investors are taking advantage.

As of today (February 6, 2009 9 AM), there are 15 active listings in the MLS and 6 Condos (+1) are currently under contract and 2 Condos have sold in the last 30 days.

Here’s the breakdown of all active listings in MLS:

7 - 1 bedroom units ( 3 short sales, 2 bank owned, 2 regular sales)
7 -2 bedroom units (4 short sales, 2 regular sales, 1 bank owned)

OBSERVATIONS

Ok so we saw two more bank owned condos sell at excellent prices ! One was an all cash deal so you know that was an investor taking advantage.

We now have 4 short sales under contract. There is a good chance these will be back on the market soon. You have to make sure you have a good real estate team that has negotiations with the bank. If not, you are just wasting your time. Our team is almost done successfully negotiated our short sale. It is the only 3bd unit in Fairfax Ridge that will have sold in some time. We will get it sold at 262k We have had multiple offers and our negotiators are almost done. We will definitely keep you posted.

You will also notice the two condos that sold this past week were 1bedroom units ! FINALLY !!!! haha that is excitement because in the last year 16- 2bedroom units have sold, 1 - 3bedroom unit, and now 2 - 1bedroom units. Took long enough but look at the prices... under 170k

If you are thinking about buying in the next 3 months we would be honored to work with you ! Shoot us an email or text to 703-725-2929
