How VA Can Help Sell Your Crofton Home

Crofton MD Real Estate –

Crofton Home Sellers, VA financing can help sell your home. Here’s why:

FACT #1: There is a huge inventory of homes for sale (How many other sellers are you competing against in your area?)

FACT #2: Buyers are few and far between (Just look at the drop in ‘number of homes sold’ and the increase in ‘days on market’ in your area!)

FACT #3: Incoming transferees are highly motivated to buy - in fact, they MUST find a place to live.

FACT #4: Incoming transferees may be cash-poor, because they can’t sell their current home to pull out equity for a down-payment and closing costs here.

FACT #5: VA-eligible borrowers may not need to sell their current home to buy yours. Wouldn’t you just love to have a non-contingent buyer make an offer on your home?

Fortunately, we have a great source of buyers in this area: Incoming transferees to Fort Meade, NSA, Andrews AFB, the U.S. Naval Academy, and the Federal Government in Washington, D.C., who are veterans or active duty military personnel. Many, and perhaps most, are eligible for a VA-loan.

Therefore, even if they can’t sell their current home to pull out their equity for a home purchase here, they may be able to buy your home with a VA no-money down loan. If you’re willing to pay their closing costs, all the better. Frankly, local buyers can use this strategy, too - just rent their current home and obtain a VA loan to buy a new one.

Yes, VA can help you sell your Crofton home. Don’t overlook this prime target market because it could be the difference between selling your home or having it sit on the market another six months. When you’re choosing a listing agent for your home in the Crofton area (including Gambrills, Bowie, Crownsville, Davidsonville and Odenton), ask what he or she will do to promote your home to VA-eligible buyers. If you’re not satisfied with the answer, it might be time to call me.
