Lake Monticello Home Sold

As buyers agent I sold this Lake Monticello home to my first time homebuyer client. 

Lake Monticello home

Last week we got this transaction closed.  My client was a first time homebuyer and she was able to purchase this foreclosed home at Lake Monticello.  As agent for the buyer I would like to thank Marcella Johnson at Wells Fargo and Cameron Marsh at Tucker Griffin and Barnes for their help in meeting the deadlines and dealing with all of the issues that are part of purchasing a bank owned property. 

When you are purchasing a foreclosure it is important to have a team of lender, closing attorney and Realtor who are experienced in this particular type of transaction. 

If you would like a list of foreclosed properties that are available for sale contact me and I would be happy to provide them to you.

Speechless Sunday

dove on a nest

One of the best things about living the Virginia country life is all of the opportunities to observe nature.

This morning dove picked the flowerbox right outside my kitchen window to raise her family.  It was most enjoyable to be able to look out the window and watch the progress of the little family.  The interesting thing was how she was almost completely unaware of the nearness of the people on the other side of the glass.

Charlottesville Virginia Is Wine Country

We hear lots about Napa Valley in California but Charlottesville Virginia is wine country.grapes & wine casks

Virginia actually ranks fifth in the United States in wine production.  Virginia wineries stretch across the state.  The Charlottesville area is home to at least 21 wineries producing a variety of excellent wines.  An excellent choice for a lazy summer day activity is wine tasting at one of the local wineries.  A great place to start sampling local vintages is the Monticello Wine Trail.

There are some other Virginia wine trails:

Northern Neck Wine Trail

Bedford Wine Trail

Shenandoah Valley Wine Country Trail

Charlottesville Virginia Is A Great Place To Retire

Charlottesville Virginia is a great place to retire!

This is something that Charlottesville residents know, but now its official.  Kiplingers has put Charlottesville on its list of 5 Great Cities For Retirees.  Charlottesville joins Dothan Ala, Palm Bay Fla, Pittsburg Pa and San Francisco Calif as a top retirement destination.  The article cites the pros of the Central Virginia climate, nearness to golf courses, parks and wineries, the availibility of art and theater, and the vibrant downtown.  Those of us who live here would have many more features to add to this list.

If you would like to explore the possibility of retiring in Charlottesville, give me a call.  I would be glad to send you a relo package or give you a tour of area homes.

Albemarle County VA Real Estate Market Report - May 2010

This Albemarle County VA real estate market report focuses on the sales of single family detached homes during May 2010.

May 2009 average list price $454,678
May 2010 average list price $380,771

May 2009 average sale price $427,751
May 2010 average sale price $363,747

May 2009 median sold price $344,000
May 2010 median sold price $326,500

May 2009 homes sold for an average of 94.07% of the list price
May 2010 homes sold for an average of 95.52% of the list price

graph of Albemarle County home sales

This year from 1/1/2010 - 5/31/2010, 244 homes sold on the Albemarle County real estate market.  During the same time period last year 202 Albemarle homes sold.  This represents a 20.8% increase in sales over last year.

As you can see from the graph many more homes have come on the market that have been sold.  Until inventory sells down we will remain in a buyers market.  It is also apparent that many of the sales were driven by the expiring first time home buyers tax credit.  This would account for the highest number of pending sales being in March and April.  We will see those sales closing through the month of June.  It remains to be seen what will happen to sales now that the tax credit has expired.  Personally, I am still very busy so I remain optomistic that the housing market will continue to improve over the next quarter.  Time will tell.
