Charlottesville golf Communities - Spring Creek

Spring Creek may have the most beautiful golf course of all of the Charlottesville golf communities.  In fact the Spring Creek golf course was awarded best new course by Golf Digest in 2009.  Today I was in Spring Creek looking at lots for some clients and I couldn't resist taking a couple of photos of the picture perfect course.

The wild flowers lining the cart path are particularly pretty.  Such a gorgeous setting in which to play golf.

If you are shopping for a home in a Charlottesville golf community, a must see is Spring Creek.  The neighborhood is located just off of I64 at Zion Crossroads about 12 miles east of Charlottesville.  In addition to the amazing golf course the rest of the family will enjoy the pool complex.  This gated community offers a variety of home options with several different builders and also townhomes as well as single family residences.  There are a number of resale homes on the market, but if you don't see your dream home among them, you may also purchase a "too be built" home from one of the builders working in the development. 

If you are searching for a golf course home, I will be happy to take you on a tour of all of the Charlottesville golf communities.

While examining the trends in the local real estate market, lets focus for a moment on the Spring Creek community in Louisa County Virginia.  Spring Creek is a gated community with an acclaimed new golf course.  The development is located in Louisa County, Virginia convenient to both Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia.  This is the Spring Creek market report for August 2008 and contains data for both single family detached and attached homes.

In August 2008 there were not any Spring Creek homes under contract.

1 Spring Creek home had a pending contract.  It was listed for $282,950 and had been on the market for 15 days.

3 Spring Creek homes sold in August 2008.  The average sales price of these homes was $354,186 and they had been listed for an average price of $358,815.  The median price was $369,150 and they were on the market for an average of 138 days.  These homes sold for an average of 98.71% of the list price.

What do these figures tell us?  First of all there is a lot of inventory on the market in Spring Creek and the homes have been on the market on average for a long time.  It does not look like the homes that are selling are going for a lot under the list price however this can be misleading.  Many of the homes on the market in Spring Creek are new construction.  In the current soft real estate market, many builders while they may not accept huge price reductions, may be offering very desirable builer consessions. 

If you are considering buying in Spring Creek, I would love to show you this special community.  Contact me and we can talk about how I can hlep you find that perfect Spring Creek home. 

If you do need to sell a home in Spring Creek, it is important to price your home correctly from the beginning.  I would be happy to do a free CMA to help determine what your home would bring in today's competitive market.  Let me sit down with you and lets work out a strategy to ensure that your home is the one that sells.
