If you are selling a Charlottesville home, it is essential that your home is priced properly.  One of the first things that buyers in this market are looking at is price.  It is important to get the advice of a Realtor who knows the local market to advise you on how to price your home in this highly competitive market.  It is also crucial that your home be presented in the best possible condition.  The three main things that a buyer looks for are location, price and condition.  You can't do anything about your home's location, but you can make sure that your home is priced correctly and that it is in optimum condition.

If you are buying a Charlottesville home, you will have a lot of choices in this market.  In addition, prices are lower overall than they have been in the past and interest rates are at an all time low.  Also if you are a first time homebuyer you can take advantage of the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit.  This could add up to the perfect opportunity for you to get the right home at the best price.

Figures are from the local mls and while they are deemed correct they are not guaranteed.
