Getting Involved in Waynesboro
And our location basically at the hub of Charlottesville and the economic engine that is the University of Virginia and Harrisonburg and the economic engine that is James Madison University gives us a unique opportunity to attract the industry of the 21st century. The future of industry is in the kinds of technological innovations that will come out of UVa. and JMU and the former Stanford Research Institute that is now working with both of our region’s major universities on the next computer mouse and the next Internet, to name two projects that SRI led in its early years in California.

Coming up this week on RealCentralVA – 16 June 2008
– One thing that didn’t make it in last week’s Daily Progress story – (Hopefully) more on homeowner’s insurance and vacant houses – about 33% of the houses currently on the market in Central Virginia are vacant – so this is a very pertinent issue. – A breakdown of the state of the Central Virginia (including Charlottesville, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Nelson – not Louisa ) real estate market by price range.

Charlottesville market report coming Monday
While I had planned to release the market report for the Charlottesville market today, I have noticed that even properties that closed ten days ago have not yet been closed in the MLS.

Keep in mind that these commuting numbers are from 2000 ; I predict that 2010 will show these numbers to have at least tripled: In 1970, 799 people were commuting from Waynesboro/Augusta/Staunton to Charlottesville/Albemarle. … However, their market now has about seventeen months of inventory ( PDF here ) versus about five months of inventory at this time in 2007 and almost four months of inventory in 2006.

Showing in Waynesboro
I’ve spent the past few days immersed in the Waynesboro, Virginia real estate market; the differences between it and the Charlottesville market are frequently striking.It’s not an apple-to-apples comparison, but … In Charlottesville/Albemarle, using the Charlottesville MLS, there are currently 1181 residential properties on the market and 295 under contract…. A few observations – - The Realtors and sellers tend to all be very friendly.- There are far fewer vacant houses on the market in Waynesboro than in Charlottesville.- Showings are much easier to set up in Charlottesville – all we typically do is call the owner and leave a message with the time we expect to arrive. Contrast that with the Waynesboro experience – many of the houses seem to request 24-hour notice for showings and almost all properties seem to have “Call the listing office” as the showing instructions.

We pamper our kids, over-schedule them, overemphasize fairness in competition (the score ends in a tie …… and keep them indoors too much, to the point that we’re doing them a huge disservice. Kids aren’t learning how to get hurt, lose, fend for themselves, find their balance and discover minor dangers on their own – all important parts of growing up.Posts like this are why I read Seth Godin’s blog. Add passion, and it’s nearly complete.An interesting twist – absorption rate versus “sales rate” – this will likely find its way into my data analysis of the Charlottesville market soon.Navigating social networking toolsThe shift from Charlottesville to Waynesboro continues.
