Why Is It So Hard To Find A Townhome Under $300,000 In Lake Ridge, Woodbridge VA Area

Let me go on the record to say if you are searching for a townhome in the Lake Ridge Virginia area you are in for a huge shock! This is not a sales pitch, or fabricated story to get you to buy. I live here in Lake Ridge and work here everyday. Trust me when I say the process of securing a home takes a great deal of work, and much of your success will be in how flexible you are. As one man put it yesterday who is relocating from lower Virgina " I feel like I've entered the Twilight Zone...what's happening in Woodbridge Virginia? How can I find a home to move into?" The answer...remain flexible.

Flexible:

• Able to leave work to see a house
• You have your loan pre-approved and your ready to buy
• You have proof of funds -if you write an offer stating a huge down payment
• You can settle quickly if need be
• Or you are willing to wait months for a short sale
• Don't rely on weekends for house hunting. Read my post Weekend Buyer Loosing...
