Relevant Real Estate Information for the Fairfax Ridge Condo Community

INTRODUCTION

First of all. I have a buyer who is looking to buy a 1 bedroom condo here at Fairfax Ridge. If you know of someone thinking about selling, contact me ASAP! This will save you a lot of time in this market.

We are seeing bank owned properties alot less now in our market. Not just at Fairfax Ridge. Look at the stats below that prove it. 1 bank owned property currently at Fairfax Ridge. They sell quickly and are coming on the market alot less now.

9 of the 11 condos on the market are short sales. Why is that ? NO short sales have sold in Fairfax Ridge in the last 4+ months. Except OURS! Our 3bedroom / 2bath condo is closing at the end of this month. Why is this ? Because we hired the best short sale negotiator in the country. Wander why your agent is not getting yours sold ? Do they have a professional negotiator working with the bank ? The numbers don't lie.

As of today (March 6, 2009 11 AM), there are 11 active listings in the MLS and 8 Condos (-3) are currently under contract and 3 Condos have sold in the last 30 days.

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