STAFFORD COUNTY VIRGINIA IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE.  We’ve sold many homes in Stafford County and our home buyers love the area and benefited greatly from the present low prices.   

WHAT DO FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS NEED? 

• Confidence that they’ll find a home in their qualifying price range.
• Confidence that they’ll be able to get a good mortgage?
• Confident that they’ll be able to find that combination of home price, location, schools, commuter routes, shopping, houses of worship, activities for the children and the hundreds of other things that cause residents to say “I love living in Stafford County.”
• First Time Home Buyers need an agent who will be patient and help the buyers understand the real estate market. 

WHY STAFFORD?  For one thing, it’s far enough away from Washington, D.C. to offer good a lot of home for the money.  Our Stafford County Broker recently closed the two lovely homes below and they are both in First Time Home Buyer price range. 

The first home below SOLD for $334,000 with $5,400 Closing Help from the Seller and the second one SOLD for $340,000 with $8,000 Closing Help from the Seller.

                                               

The homes above are just a wonderful example of the fantastic buys that are available to our home buyers in Stafford County.  Prices are at the lowest in 4 years and the Sellers need Buyers.  For Stafford home buyers, this is the best opportunity to establish a home in a beautiful community in Stafford County in many years.

The county is well priced to begin upward pricing faster than other areas in Northern Virginia. 

DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE QUALIFIED TO BUY?  For First Time Home Buyers who do not know their qualifying price range, just give me a call and I’ll give you a target price.  If you are serious and ready to buy, a pre-approval will just take a few hours.  These homes are all in FHA financing range which means that the loans and interest rates are not subject to credit scoring.  The new FHA loan limit is $729,900 and we can refer you to excellent and reliable mortgage companies that can help you with all of your financing needs. 

                               

It’s the best time for a First Time Home Buyer to buy in 6 years.  Look at what your money will buy in a price range of $300,000 to $400,000.
