About Centreville's Centre Ridge

For the 4th quarter of 2011, Centre Ridge continued to show strong sales with 15 townhomes going to settlement between October 1, 2011 and the end of the year. Of these 15 units half were regular sales and the other half were made up of a combination of short sales (5) and foreclosures (2).

With variances in number of bathrooms and whether the townhome had a garage the price range was from $260,000 to a high of $349,900. Across all 16 units the average days on market was 42 days due to the high number of short sales. In the homes that were not in a distressed situation (foreclosure or short sale) days on market was closer to 12 days.

The proximity to major commuting routes of Rte 28, Rte 29 and I-66 along with easy access to shopping, restaurants, movie theatre and other amenities continues to make Centre Ridge a popular place to live.

The Equity Rise Real Estate team sold an end unit townhouse in 11 days at the top end of the price range this year using our 15 Second Solution marketing plan.

Jan and Steve Bachman represented the seller on this investment property "flip" that went to settlement yesterday.

This great house in Centreville VA was purchased at foreclosure auction by Steve and Jan Bachman at the Fairfax County courthouse steps on behalf of the client who renovated and sold ("flipped") the property yesterday at a profit.

The 4 bedroom 3.5 bath town house has a walk out basement and backs to treed common area,which is what caught our eye when looking for property for our client to purchase.

After repair the property featured: New paint top to bottom....white ceilings, wheat colored walls and white trim to show off the brand new neutral carpet in the basement and upstairs and the shining hardwoods on the main level.

New granite counter tops encircle the brand new stainless steel appliances in the eat in kitchen.

This is the high quality work that you need to do in order to sell "flipped" property quickly.

All your sales expenses, and estimated repair costs must be predetermined before you bid on a property at auction.

In most cases, there is no opportunity to get inside and inspect the property before hand. You could be buying a "pig in a bag" and not know it.

This sort of investment should not be undertaken with money you cannot afford to lose. Much risk and liability falls on the purchasers of foreclosure property at the courthouse steps.

If you need assistance from experienced residential real estate investment Realtors call us or drop as an email. We have been in this game since the mid 1980s.

If you want to buy, fix up, hold and rent out investment property we are happy to help. We have a group of repair and property management folks that will take most of the tension out of owning rental property.
