How much house can I afford?

How much house can I afford?, by Claudia S. Nelson with Keller Williams Realty in Woodbridge VA




Always an excellent question. How much home can I really afford? My answer is first of all make application with a lender to determine how much you qualify for. You can apply online at: www.coconnell.com

So now that you have determined how much you qualify for you will have to find out for yourself or with the lender how much mortgage payment you are comfortable with. I normally recommend taking a look at your overall finances. How much money do you currently spend on rent and using this as a general guideline. Personally I love going out, going on vacation and all these fun things. This tells me how much mortgage payment I am comfortable with. I never want to overextend myself, but that’s me and I have been told that fiscally I am a bit conservative. So you have to find out for yourself what monthly payments you are comfortable with, and don’t forget the HOA payments, if you decide to purchase in an HOA. Once you know what amount you are comfortable with take it from there. Ask the lender to figure out how much house you can afford based on what you want your monthly payment to be.

Nothing easier then that correct?

Once all the finances are squared away there is nothing from stopping you to find your dream home. 


You should have been searching for homes online while you are working with the lender. This way you know if you want to extend yourself a little further or if your comfort zone and the homes you like match up.

How long is the Commute from Woodbridge VA to DC?

How long is the Commute from Woodbridge VA to DC?



What a great question and something I get asked all the time from home buyers that are not familiar with the area. With the recent modification they made to HOV lanes the commute from Woodbridge to DC should have improved even further.

Commuters have currently several options to getting back and forth from Woodbridge VA to the Nations Capital. 


Car: You can drive by yourself and either use the regular lanes on I95 or now you can also pay to using the HOV lanes which will guarantee a faster ride into the City. Or you can select to pick up sluggers or you can slug yourself. If you are picking up sluggers or have 3 people in the car you do not have to pay the HOV tolls. 


Slugging: Slugging is a very unique form of transportation know in the Northern Virginia / DC area. Slugging is essentially an organized form of hitch hiking. Lines are forming at commuter lots or on predetermined locations in DC for riders to picking up passengers that are needing to go to DC or back from DC to Woodbridge VA. This will allow the drivers to use the HOV lanes without having to pay and the riders get a free ride into DC. A win win situation for everyone. 


Train/VRE: There several VRE stops in the Woodbridge VA area. The VRE or Virginia Railway Express takes riders from any of the local VRE stops to Union Station in Washington DC.

Commuter Bus: The Commuter Bus PRTC takes riders from locations within Woodbridge VA, Dale City and Lake Ridge directly to Washington DC, The Pentagon or even Tysons Corner.

Ridesharing: There are several ridesharing options which are matching up drivers that are going to similar destinations. Out of the 3 people belonging to a carpool they always switch up on who is driving.

Overall commutes back and forth from Woodbridge VA to Washington DC are quick and easy.

What is my Woodbridge VA Home Worth?

Posted on by
What is my Woodbridge VA Home Worth?

Let’s begin with this direct statement:
I do not decide how much your home is worth – and neither do you.
The market does!


What a buyer is willing to pay for your home that what your home is worth. The market tells us exactly where to price your property to sell and how to approach the marketing of your
property. Here are the factors that will affect the value of your home in today’s market:

Price 
Pricing your home properly from the start is the deciding factor on how long it will take to sell it.
 
Location 
Location is the single most important factor in determining the value of your property.
 
Condition 
The condition of the property affects the price and the speed of the sale. As prospective buyers often make purchases based on emotion, fi rst impressions are important. We’ll work with you to optimize the physical appearance of your home to maximize the buyer’s perception of value.
 
Competition 
Prospective buyers are going to compare your property – both the condition and the price – to the other listings in and around your neighborhood. Those buyers will determine value, based on properties that are listed or have recently sold in the area. 
 
Timing 
Property values are affected by the current real estate market. Because we can’t manipulate the market, we’ll collaborate on a pricing and marketing strategy that will take advantage of the first 30 days your property is listed. It’s the window of opportunity when buyers and their agents discover your property and are most likely to visit and make offers.

Are you curious to find out how much your Woodbridge VA Home could sell for in today’s Real Estate Market. You can find out here what your Woodbridge VA Home is worth.

You can find a  few quick tips to preparing your home for success. Stand out from the competition. The better your home shows the quicker it will sell. Also keep in mind LESS is more when getting your home ready. What do I mean by less is more. Get rid of as much clutter, clunky furniture and more. Your home will show so much better and more important it will look much larger too.

Woodbridge VA One of A Kind Holiday Light Show

One of A Kind Holiday Light Show 

Every year again the home owner at 15615 Bushey Drive off Cardinal Drive put up a wonderful holiday light show in Woodbridge VA. When I went there the other day Santa handed out candy canes and it was all around a great time. The lights are simply great.

Just watch the video as we drive through the North Pole display. When I got there spontaneously the other night there were so many visitors. There was a long line of cars waiting to drive through to see the lights. This is a really great thing to go visit with your kids or simply take your partner on a date night. It is a lovely display.

It seems like every year I go to see the Holiday Light show at 15615 Bushey Drive they are outdoing themselves from the previous season. Just watch the video to see for yourself, but please know the video doesn’t do this great display justice. You have to actually see it in person to get the full pictures. It is so much better in person. 


Here is another Woodbridge VA Holiday Light Show must see. I did a blog about this one recently and took a video and also added holiday music. Click here to see my previous blog. 


I also took pictures of Holiday Light Decorations as seen on my way home. Check out the pictures I took right here.
