The most common question we get is, When is the best time to sell my home?

The answer is simple: Summer.

According to the data on closed sales in northern Virginia, more homes sell in the summer months than any other time of the year. 

Not only that, but sellers also get higher prices for their homes in the summer!

Because more people are looking for homes when the weather's nice, there is no better time than now to put your home on the market.

If your home isn't quite ready to sell, don't worry. The strong summer season has proven cyclical, so you can always wait until next year.

3 Things that All Lenders Look For in Borrowers
Today I'm with Joe Lucas from McLean Mortgage. We will be discussing the top 3 things that lenders look for in borrowers. If you're looking to get financing to buy a home here in Northern Virginia, then this is some great advice for you. Joe recommends these three things if you want to have a smooth and painless financing experience. 

  1. Cash: How much cash do you have readily available? This is important for a home deposit. It's also important to know where these funds came from because the lenders have to source your income from somewhere. 
  2. Your Credit Score: Credit scores are extremely important because a lender will need to know if you meet the minimum requirements necessary to borrow money. 
  3. Income: This may be the most important part of qualifying for a home. You need to be able to make the monthly payments necessary to pay off your mortgage, and your income must show that.
If you can satisfy these criteria you are very likely to be approved for a mortgage loan from a lender. If you would like to know more about this then please do not hesitate to contact me.
