What Buyers Overlook

Thinking about buying in the next few years? Here’s one of the smartest real estate moves most buyers overlook.

Key takeaways from this week’s video:
• Choose one of the least expensive homes in the best neighborhood for stronger long-term equity.
• Homes in desirable areas appreciate faster—your neighborhood helps lift your value.
• Even a small rental property can accelerate wealth by letting someone else help pay the mortgage.

Why it matters:
In Northern Virginia, strong demand and steady appreciation mean the right buying strategy can set you up for long-term financial strength—not just a comfortable home today.

How we help:
At Tanya & Co., we guide buyers to think strategically—whether it’s spotting value in top neighborhoods or evaluating a first investment property.
