Crystal City Arlington VA

What does Crystal City have?

There is 10,573,794 sq ft of office gross area.

There is 881,060 sq ft of retail gross area.

There are 5,833 residential units.

There are 4,601 hotel rooms.

And there are 28,814 parking spaces.

The Crystal City Metro Station Area has about 390 acres of land. It is located below I-395 and above City of Alexandria. Before 1960s it was primarily used for industrial purposes.

It’s location is next to Washington, D.C. and Washington Reagan National Airport, which prompted it’s development as we see today. One of the biggest stimuli was the Metrorail blue line that opened in 1977. In 2000 the potential for Crystal City has changed one more time yet with the Potomac Yard Phased Development Site Plan (PDSP) accepted by the Arlington County Board because development capacity would be increased in the South Tract. This would result in 2.94 million square feet of office/commercial development, 1.0 million square feet of residential and 469,835 square feet of hotel uses. The plan is divided into 6 areas and developed in phases with full completion approximately 15-20 years.

There is a number of major employers: the Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, US Airways, etc. Interestingly, half of all of the hotel rooms in the Arlington County are situated inside the Crystal City Metro Station Area. There is the Crystal Mall and many restaurants and shops. The future “One Potomac Yard” will add 165,000 sq ft of retail space in addition to 720,000 sq ft of office space. There is additionally The Camden Potomac Yard and The Eclipse on Central Park, which would bring an increase of 865 new residential units and more than 84,000 square feet of retail.

Client vs. Customer

If you are a client then I will:

pay full attention to your needs

tell all that I learn about the seller

expand the range of choices to get an optimum solution

find the best property

help buyer’s search

can give advice with facts / educate / compare competing properties

negotiate on your behalf and strengthen your position

price counseling

help with financing alternatives

try to solve problems to my client’s advantage and happiness.

In contrast to the customer I owe honesty and reveal only material facts.

The Cycle of the market

Imagine a wiggly line where the movement is from optimism to euphoria to desperation to hope and optimism again.

This cycle we go through at all times.

Now, think … where is the greatest opportunity to do it big???

The best opportunity is during the bad times .. you can get the best deals

Math of buying

When buying you do not only look at price, but also the interest rate. For example:

$400,000 at 6% is $2,398.20 in monthly payment
$375,000 at 7% is 2,494.88  in monthly payment

Therefore, financing might be a lot more important than simply the price. Consider all factors together!

9 myths – Buyers

1) All REALTORs are the same:  even though everyone has a drivers license not everyone drives the same that’s why some get tickets or end up in jail. Pick a person who has higher competency. Who is always committed to personal growth.

2) The agent on the for sale sign will look out for me: understand the issue of representation and refer to my next post “client vs customer”.

3) I can find properties on my own: not all properties are advertised; additional time-lags exist;  misunderstanding of how MLS works, etc.

4) If I wait then I’ll find a perfect home: in life no such thing as perfect … it will end up being a compromise.

5) I’ll improve my chances by working with multiple agents: seeing the same house with two agents is not good use of time! Also, don’t you think that the person who gets compensated will w0rk harder than the one who does not. If you are not serious those agents will not be either.

6) Buying a house is as simple as signing papers and agreeing on the price: If only you new how many steps are involved with the purchase of the home … alas … it takes a lot of effort.

7) Foreclosures are best deals: the truth is that some are overpriced with undesirable conditions and terms. What you see is what you get and what you don’t see is also what you get … you need a professional to help you through.

8) Getting a mortgage is quick and easy:     …. it might not be that quick …. and not that easy.

9) All mortgages are the same: Do you have friends that foreclosed because of their ballooning adjustable rate mortgage? Do you want someone to guide you through to make sure there are no issues and to assure your understanding?

4 tips on how to navigate today’s Real Estate Market

1) Right home is harder to find:  The inventory is down … 25% fewer new homes were built in VA and nationally inventory dropped 12% Q3 2008 vs Q3 2009.

2) Market knowledge … in a dynamic market you need all the latest information.

3) Transactions are more complex than before … short sales, foreclosures, tax credits … it’s complicated.

4) You buy and sell homes a couple of times in your life … while REALTORs help people do it every day. Save time, money, and hassle.

During tough times you need the professional who works hard for you.
