MARKET TRENDS

Everyone is talking about the housing industry.  The media provides a daily account of falling housing prices, foreclosures, mortgage updates and the like. The real estate climate or market condition depends on location, location, location. The Charlottesville area seems quite stable compared to many other areas in the country. Sellers are realizing that if they price their homes for a "realistic" asking price they can expect to be on the market for 90-120 days. If they want to sell quickly, the asking price needs to be better than their competition. 

The Charlottesville economy is good compared to the national average and the surrounding counties are growing. Greene County has a new Super WalMart and Lowe's that opened recently and at Zions Crossroads near I-64. Charlottesville is growing at a good pace with small businesses coming into the area and just this past year, 7 new businesses opened their doors on the Downtown Mall. Things are happening in and around Charlottesville. RE/MAX Affinity Group is the one place for all real estate in our area.
