Question: Do you have any suggestions for people who are trying to buy a home in this hot market?
Answer: Your question is one that the majority of buyers are asking during the strong seller’s market we have seen in 2020 and 2021. Buyers are experiencing competition in almost every style and price range and find themselves writing multiple contracts that result in a bidding war with 10+ other offers.
Rarely does such an iconic property come along, embodying European warmth and comfort without giving up city sophistication.
Located in Herbert Springs, a unique enclave of luxury homes along the Potomac River, this home brings classic French country architecture into the present day. This exquisite residence, set on spacious, lushly landscaped grounds, boasts five bedrooms, four full and two half baths, with architectural details and building quality unmatched in most construction. While very grand, this classic home affords exceptional design and features heart pine floors, four fireplaces and a three-level elevator.
The blue of the Potomac. The green of the parks. The vibrant colors of over 100 one-of-a-kind boutique shops, fine dining restaurants and award-winning craft breweries. Old Town Alexandria is a kaleidoscope of life.
And just blocks away from those parks, the waterfront, and the shopping and dining are the luxury townhomes of Abingdon Place. Nestled into Old Town North, this tucked-away community of 19 townhomes feels like a private hideaway.

Question: Should I move before putting my home on the market?
Answer: This question comes up very frequently.

Like most real estate decisions, it really depends on what works for each individual. Here are a few things to consider with your Realtor when you are deciding on your moving timeline.
