This is Why Territory Rules

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Of the 10 listings that sold between 600k and 700k in Arlington over the last three months only one of them sold for less than asking price. Guess who sold it? That right Territory to the rescue. Not to mention that the Territory buyer walked away with an additional 8k cash rebate!

Its Been a Busy Spring in Arlington

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

The following statistics were gathered from the MSPIN database. They are the single family transaction numbers for Arlington over the last three months (1/23/10 to 4/23/10). This period is the first half of the 2010 spring market which should run through mid July.

This data set is hard evidence of what I have been describing to my clients as a very competitive spring market. Note that 4 of the 10 price categories and 18 out of the 44 transactions sold at 100% + of asking price. I have seen deal after deal sell in competitive bidding situations this spring and this market shift calls for a real adjustment on behalf of all you home-buyers out there. Unlike a few months ago you can no longer pursue good properties at a leisurely pace or assume significant leverage while negotiating and still close a deal at under market value. Buyers have to be much more prepared and much more aggressive to undercut the rising market.

Three Up:
1. New Reduced Price
2. High Ceilings Throughout
3. Private Deck on 3rd Floor
Three Down:
1. Living space is only 1,400 sf
2. Forced Hot Air Heat
3. Family Room and Bedrooms are carpeted

Guide’s Opinion: New construction in this location is tricky. The units are gorgeous, but resale should also be a consideration. This development was completed in 2007 and the price, in our opinion may still be a little on the high side.
