Buying a Home In Ashburn – Make Sure You Are Prepared

Even though we have seen some positive signs in the Loudoun County real estate market, being a homeowner doesn’t work with every lifestyle. You need to ask yourself a few questions….

• Is my job secure? Taking on a huge debt might lead to financial trouble if you lose your job in a few months or years, especially if finding a new job requires relocating.
• Do I plan to stay put? I know I want to spend the rest of my life in my city. If I buy a house now, I won’t be selling it for a long time. But if you’re not sure where you’ll be five years from now, renting often makes more sense. That’s partly because using a real-estate agent to sell a house can cost 6% or more. Sell your home before you have that much equity and you’ll lose money.
• Am I in transition? Even if you’re not changing towns, you might still need to change homes. Life changes like marriage and kids can require a different house.
