I really want buyers, sellers and Realtors in Charlottesville (and elsewhere) to be as educated and as informed as possible. It's a shame that people are just now starting to pay attention and educate themselves ... but it's a real opportunity that we ought not shirk. other Jim - I honestly don't know. BB –

This should be "required reading" for anybody thinking about selling, buying, or representing a seller or buyer of a home this season, IOHO. Many thanks for posting. Our current post is a Q&A with Jason Crigler of The Mortgage Buzz blog, Crown Mortgage Services. We've taken readers' questions. There ARE folks who want to buy, and need to buy. But as the economic data indicates, it's particularly difficult for Gen Y's, the ostensible FTHBs. And ANY homebuyer is concerned about being immediately "under water" once the contract is signed. Add in the Baby Boomers' recent loss of wealth via stock market and falling home values just as they contemplate retirement, plus tighter credit standards, especially for jumbo loans (many properties in this area need jumbos) and...it's no wonder this market is stalled. To state the obvious, for anybody watching or participating in the local real estate market, this is going to be a truly fascinating selling season.
