As the 2008 calendar year comes to a close, I’m sure you’ve seen many commercials on TV, heard announcements on the radio, received coupons for special shopping times in the mail, and even your favorite stores have probably emailed you about exclusive deals ‘for a limited time only’.

The same holds true with real estate and homes for sale in Old Town and Del Ray in Alexandria VA.  December has always been a good time to buy a home because you can still take advantage of earning a few extra tax deductions through a home purchase. 

Last week, the government and mortgage industry made news by announcing lower interest rates.  But, while the low interest rates are ‘for a limited time only’, the higher amount that you can borrow for a mortgage loan is also ‘for a limited time only’. 

Starting January 1, 2009, the FHA loan limits will decrease from $729,750 to $625,500 for home purchases in Old Town Alexandria VA.  Although the U.S. Housing and Urban Development office made this announcement last month, coupled with insatiably low interest rates, homebuyers who are on the fence have a unique opportunity to pick from a larger inventory of homes, negotiate favorable terms, and borrow money at a long-term fixed rate for less than 6%.

Here’s my pick for this week’s HOT LIST of homes for sale in Del Ray and Old Town Alexandria VA that you may be able to buy before the end of 2008.

In my opinion, now is still the time to buy the cheapest house in the best neighborhood. Condos, townhomes, and single-family detached homes in the Old Town Alexandria VA zip code of 22314, and Del Ray homes in zip codes 22301 and 22305 are highly sought after because of location, proximity to metro, walkscore. 

First time buyers in the market for Old Town Alexandria real estate can choose from a variety of condos for sale. Move up buyers who want resort-style living and amenities can also take advantage of the Old Town Alexandria condo market.  Those wanting to stay close-in will undoubtedly have the 22314 zip code on their radar.

Commuter conveniences such as the Braddock Road and King Street metro stations, nearby Reagan National Airport, and the free King Street Trolley make it easier for car-less buyers to get around and enjoy an active lifestyle.

In the month of October, 29 condos in Old Town Alexandria were listed for sale, and 17 were sold.  In September, 17 condo units were listed for sale and 20 units were sold.  Those listed ranged in price from $190,000 to $2,795,000.  The lowest priced condo home is in the Harbor Terrace community, and the highest priced condo for sale is in the Liberty Row community.

Here’s a look at the overall Old Town Alexandria real estate market from September 2008 to October 2008 to include all property types:

Old Town home sellers are negotiating which is clearly a good sign for buyers.  Right now, condo homes are making up a big portion of the overall home sales in Old Town.

Highlands at Gunston Corner Condominiums

Military homebuyers have the convenience of location, and different options for commuting from Gunston Corner to the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, or Quantico Marine Base.

Located just under 20 miles from The Pentagon, your hassle-free commute from Gunston Corner may include:

• an easy to hop onto I-95 North (just three traffic lights from the on ramp) to drive individually in the regular lanes
• a quick run up around the corner to the Lorton Shell Park and Ride to pick up a slug (no…not that slimy thing that crawls around your backyard), and use the HOV lanes directly to the Pentagon (you can also be a slug and catch a FREE ride!)
• a mad dash to the Lorton Station VRE that will take you directly to Crystal City where you can transfer to the metro and ride two stops to the Pentagon station
• a 10-15 minute drive to the Franconia-Springfield metro station that will take you directly to the Pentagon station

Located less than five miles from Fort Belvoir, as a Gunston Corner homeowner, your commute would be less than the average Washingtonian commute, and you could probably come home for lunch!

And going against traffic with Quantico Marine Base as your destination, you should find the traffic steadily flowing down I-95 South as you wave to the north bound commuters.

This home is currently Under Contract, but there are others for sale!
