Buying or Selling a Home—Stay Local

July 9, 2008

When it comes to making a decision as to whether to sell your home or buy one, here are a few suggestions.

1)  Stay informed on what is happening in your local market rather than listening to national statistics.  2) Talk to local experts in building, lending, and real estate.  Get opinions from several of them vs. relying on just one. 3) If you have a house to sell, sell your home 1st before writing a contract on another.  This will put you in a much better negotiating position whether you are staying in the Charlottesville area or moving somewhere else.
