Buying For Sale By Owner Real Estate in Alexandria Virginia
- Real Estate Relocation
See the AskMe Feature Below.
“For Sale By Owner” homes very often overpriced
No-one denies that, on occasion, you can negotiate directly with the sellers and save money. However, most buyers assume that if they buy directly from an owner they will get a lower price. Since the owners wouldn’t have to pay a commission, they could pass along their savings to the buyers. But why would they want to? Most sellers don’t take on the burden and expense of selling their own home so they can give buyers a better price. They do it to pocket more money for themselves. Alexandria real estate sellers are no different!
In fact, as often as not, people selling their own homes overprice them. They’re hoping to find some “bargain-hunting” buyers who will be hoodwinked into believing they are saving money because there’s no agent involved. In addition, even if the home appears to be priced right, it may suffer from hidden defects. Buyers moving in from out of town to Alexandria Virginia are the most vulnerable to assessing the value of For Sale By Owners. The home may be a steal compared to house prices in their home town, but may not be a good deal here in Alexandria Virginia.

Alexandria is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 128,284. It is located on the west bank of the Potomac River, six miles south of downtown Washington, DC. Like the rest of Northern Virginia, as well as southern Maryland, modern Alexandria has been shaped by its proximity to the nation's capital. It is largely populated by professionals working in the federal civil service, the U.S. military, or for one of the many private companies which contract to provide services to the federal government. The latter are known locally as beltway bandits, after the Capital Beltway, an interstate highway that circles Washington, D.C. One of Alexandria's largest employers is the U.S. Department of Defense. Others include the Institute for Defense Analyses and the Center for Naval Analyses. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
