Chantilly, VA

Selling a home to anyone is a very weighted issue. There a lot of things to consider. school, activities, leisure, worship, shopping, transportation and social. When you have more than one person needing or relocating spouses is never an easy task especially if both spouses work, and need to be in different parts of town. Lets take an example of a couple looking at a home in Oakton VA. One spouse works in the McLean VA area and the other works in Chantilly VA. The distance is approximatley 17 miles.

For this example we will use Oakton VA as an area of interest to buy a home. The point that sells the home or area is that Oakton VA more or less the epicenter. Oakton is equidistant to both McLean VA and Chantilly. If you can demonstrate that each spouse will have a similar and reasonable commute, you are one step closer to making a sale. On more than one occasion I have used this map method to sell homes, and it works. It does not matter if you use Google, Mapquest or BING to plot the distance from the selected home to each work destination. What matters is that the map moves your client from an abstract concept to something tangible that can be easily grasped and accepted.

There were 15 sales for the month of September 2009. Below is a chart I generated from our MRIS to show you the price ranges of the homes sold. The lower range had fewer sales because in single family homes available, and the higher price ranges had fewer sales because there were fewer buyers.

The most recent MRIS statistics were just released for or MLS on October 10Th, and I thought I would share Chantilly VA 20152 statistics for Loudoun County VA. Yes sales are up, but prices are way downThe average sales price in September 2009 not including any sellers concessions is now at $423,935 that is down 16.58% from the same time frame in 2008 where the average sold price stood at $508,163.
