Condominiums have been the hardest hit segment of the local real estate market. With the $8,000 First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit one would think that condos sales would have been doing well. After all condos often represent an affordable option. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to obtain financing for condos in many projects. The lenders are reluctant to lend money for condo purchases, particularly if the condo is in a project that where the units are either largely investor owned or if the majority of the units are student occupied. Some of the condo sales that we have seen in the Charlottesville real estate market have been to investors who are able to present a cash contract.
