Would you really never sell a 3 percent mortgage?

I hear that in Fairfax almost every week. One seller told me last week, "I would be crazy to give this rate up." Then we ran the loan he would actually take next, not the same loan again.

On his old loan, principal and interest was about $2,108 a month. After his equity, a smaller next loan landed near $2,061 a month, even at a much higher rate.

The rate matters. It is just not the whole decision. Size the next loan first.

Full move math is in the first comment.

Your toughest competitor is not your neighbor.

If you are selling a newer home in Loudoun, it is the builder down the street. One builder here is advertising up to $90,000 off plus $30,000 in closing costs on select homes. Your buyer has seen that sheet, and they will quote it back to you.

I see sellers price against the builder list price. Wrong target. Price against the builder total cost after incentives, then sell what new construction cannot: a finished home in Brambleton with the blinds up, the yard in, and a closing in weeks, not months.

Condition alone will not carry a premium while the builder is still selling. Price, credit, and certainty do.

I put the builder comparison in the first comment.

Would you tour a house after dark?

In Fairfax this November, you might not have a choice. Sunset hits 5:08 p.m. on the first of the month and 4:47 p.m. by the end of it.

I tell sellers to stop fighting the dark and stage for it. Shoot photos late morning. Turn every light on before a tour starts. Match your bulbs room by room so the house feels warm, not patchy, the second someone walks into a Vienna entry after work.

Light will not save a bad price. But it does protect a fair one.

I broke down the November timing, link is in the first comment.

Seller in Fairfax asked me straight: "Cash is lower. Why would I even think about it?"

Fair question. I have watched a higher financed offer shrink after appraisal, credits, and extra weeks carrying the house. Cash removes the lender. It does not remove everything, but it removes a lot of ways a deal can wobble.

That does not mean cash always wins. Cash was 27 percent of sales nationally in September. The other side is mostly financed buyers, and a fully underwritten one with gap coverage in writing can pay more and still close clean.

I do not pick the headline price. I build both net sheets and pick the number that survives to settlement.

The checklist I use is in the first comment.

A contingent offer is not weak by default.

Weak is vague. Strong is written tight: list in Fairfax within days, a clear deadline to get under contract, and proof you can actually close.

Sellers know the difference. In Vienna they will read a settlement contingency, where your home is already under contract, very differently from a sale contingency where you still need a buyer.

And that kick-out clock is real. If a stronger offer shows up, you often get 72 hours to drop the contingency or walk away with your earnest money back.

Price your current home right and the contingency stops looking like risk. It starts looking like a plan.

Full playbook is in the first comment.
