Charlottesville Farms Real Estate Market Report - Yearend 2011

This post will examine the sales of Charlottesville farms over the past year. For the purpose of this report we will consider properties over 15 acres.

2010 average list price $1,887,107.
2011 average list price $1,439,348.

2010 average sale price $1,663,847.
2011 average sale price $1,286,576.

2010 median sold price $1,112,500.
2011 median sold price $750,000.

2010 average continuous days on market 361.
2011 average continuous days on market 243.

2010 %sold/list 88.16%.
2011 %sold/list 89.38%.

2010 months inventory 47.07.
2011 months inventory 32.52.

In 2010, 26 Charlottesville farms sold.
In 2011, 38 Charlottesville farms sold.

There is a lot to like in these numbers.  Obviously we still have way too many months inventory, but we are trending in the right direction.  One of the other figures to compare is the difference in the median sold price between the two days.  This could tell us that prices are down which we know is the case across the board in real estate, but it may be more of an indicator of the price range that is selling.  Purchasers are looking for value right now and buyers of Charlottesville farms are no exception.

Buying A Foreclosure In Charlottesville - How Much Should I Offer?

In the current real estate market I am often approached by folks who are interested in purchasing a foreclosure.  Bank owned properties can provide the opportunity to purchase a home at a discounted price.  However people are often surprised at what exactly that price may be. You have been hearing on tv about the glut of foreclosures.  You know that the banks need to get these homes off their books.  So it makes perfect sense that they would be happy to get anything for the properties just to get rid of them...wrong.  The banks want to get as much as they can for the properties.  They have a figure that they want to get for the home.  The home has been priced according to a brokers price opinion based on market value and condition.  This is usually less than comparable resales that are on the market.  The Charlottesville foreclosure is already discounted and the bank usually will not take 30 cents to the dollar on this discounted price. When the home comes on the market as a REO it is listed at a price based on a BPO.  If there has not been an acceptable offer, the bank will periodically reduce the price.  When the price of a bank owned home becomes attractive, offers come in.  It is not unusual to end up with multiple offers and we will see the home end up selling for over the list price. This graph shows the sold to list price ratio of foreclosures in the greater Charlottesville real estate market.  Note that this ratio is based on the sale price as compared to the original list price, not the final reduced price.  You can also see how much lower the REOs are selling for compared with the conventional sales. As you can see the foreclosures in the Charlottesville real estate market are selling on average for approximately 82 - 88% of  the list price.  Yes, you can make an offer, but don't expect to be able to get the property at 1/3 of  the list price.  I am not saying that it never happens, but it is not at all the norm.

Charlottesville Golf Communities - Don't Forget Lake Monticello

When asked about Lake Monticello, people will likely mention that a 350 acre lake is at the heart of the neighborhood, or that it is a gated community, or that it is an affordable place to live.  And yes it is all of these things.  However don't forget that The Lake is also a golf community.  There is an 18 hole championship golf course that can be enjoyed by all skill levels of golfers. 

Lake Monticello contains about 3,500 homes in a variety of styles, sizes and price ranges.  Some of the most desirable homes are waterfront, either on the big water of the main lake or situated on one of the private coves.  There are also Lake Monticello golf course homes and a golfer can enjoy sitting on his deck and watching the play on the course.

Watch the video and see a glimpse of the Lake Monticello golf course.

If you are thinking of selling your home in one of Charlottesville's golf neighborhoods or would like to buy a golf home, be sure to enlist the assistance of a Charlottesville golf community specialist.
