Northern Virginia’s year to date average real estate sales price is down from last year.

Last years average sales price was $537,339.00 and this years grand total is $482,197.00.  Thats is a 10.26% decrease. Ive had several customers negotiate listing prices down but what happened to 3-6% being the popular percentages realtors liked to promote as an almost automatic decrease when submitting an offer.

Are we going to continue to dip or will perhaps….the pending presidential election or other factors…. help bring us back into a place where values start to increase again?

NBC’s Today show had a snippet posing this very question this morning and their verdict is in. In summary, LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. Renting makes sense in areas where there is still room for a decline in real estate prices (Northern California and the New York tri state areas) but in other areas such as college towns and areas where younger generations are populating (Upstate New York, Texas, and certainly the Washington DC metro area) buying maybe a great idea IF:

1. Your credit is strong and you’re getting a good interest rate.

2. The rule of 15  (your annual rent times ‘15′ equalling your price point to buy while still satisfying your living condition requirements)

3. You steer clear of any funky mortgage options- stick with a 15/30 year fixed- fancy funding has gotten us in the mess most areas are in today so lets avoid past mistakes

4. Plan on the long term investing to make it profitable (equity gains) for your future.

If you want to discuss further please feel free to give me a call today! 703-283-4524(cell)
