In case you weren’t aware
People keep asking our agents, “Why is Charlottesville and the Central Virginia area so special”? Almost every time a survey comes out about best places to live, Charlottesvilleranks very high. Recently, another survey came outranking Charlottesville as a wonderful region for employment.There are many reasons for this continued recognition. Here are just a few:
1) A wonderful teaching Hospital 2) One of the Top Universities in the country 3)Some of the most beautiful countrysideyou can imagine anddriving distance to beaches and mountains4) Great sporting events and cultural activities 5) an up and coming wine region and 6) fabulous restaurants.
Now is the time to Buy!
This truly is a great time to purchase a home. There are lots of homes to see in all price ranges whether you are looking in Charlottesville or the surrounding counties of Albemarle, Greene, Nelson, etc.In addition, interest rates continue to hover around 6% with many loan products from which to choose but that could change asthe US dollar is struggling a bit right now and normally that results in higher interest rates.
So take advantage of motivated sellers andthe increased buying power of lower interest rateswhile both are an advantage to today’s buyer.
Listening to Buyers
Some buyers purchase the exact kind of house they said they were looking for, in the neighborhood they preferred. Other buyers surprise us by falling in love with a house that is the complete opposite of what they originally wanted.
So Roy Wheeler real estate agents listen carefully when buyers describe their needs and preferences. We screen the current inventory of homes to come up with possible matches. Since there is almost always some compromise involved when selecting a home, we may suggest alternatives that might work for buyers.
If you like a specific neighborhood where there are no homes in your price range, we may suggest homes in other areas with similar amenities. If you want four bedrooms, and one of them will be used as a home office, we may look for a den or family room that could serve your needs. When you look a home, your feedback is important to us. Without it we can’t know what you are thinking or feeling.
Working with buyers and knowing how to listen carefully isanother skill that we develop everyday at Roy Wheeler. Contact a Roy Wheeler agent today to let us help you too.
