Why watch the big builders?

The only ones who currently have local presences are K Hovnavian who are building Four Seasons in Greene County and Ryan Homes who are building everywhere.The national trends are far too macro-oriented to directly apply locally, but they may offer insight into what direction our local market might go.  For example, national builders building in Northern Virginia were offering incentives such as plasma televisions, new cars and mortgage buy-downs long (~3-6 months) before those types of incentives appeared in the Charlottesville market.In short, the large builders are a bellweather for what may happen….  Politically and economically the Central Virginia region tracks NoVa to a certain degree, if only because we are experiencing growth….  When I was working Earlysville for Tim Kaine, many of the new residents were from liberal areas of the country.

Monday links – 10-09-2006

If you’re going to insult somebody, do it with class and style.Where are all the good, green products?Urbanization is the “next” big thing.  It’s been the next big thing for some time, but it appears that we are now beginning to realize the impact of the human race’s growth and growth patterns.  How will this impact K Hovnavian’s “Four Seasons Charlottesville” senior/active adult development (that is actually located in Greene County)?  And finally, Marlow Harris says exactly what I think:However, all (agents/Realtors) have the obligation to stay up on market conditions and their local economy and current affairs that effect their market area.  They should have both a micro and a macro approach to real estate, so they can best advise their clients, be they investment buyers or just those searching for their dream home.Which communities will be included in Charlottesville/Central Virginia’s search for a brand?  What should it be?  I have to say that my first thought when I read this.

Not used to NoVa traffic, are you?

In a recent post regarding the dearth of senior housing in our region, I noted a new development coming to Greene County.  One might think (as I did) that it would be a beneficial idea for this developer to provide some form of transportation for the future residents into Charlottesville.  This development is being marketed as “Four Seasons Charlottesville” despite its location in Ruckersville.

Are there Two Charlottesvilles?

I think of this every time I see you mention the CharlAlbemarle market, because it seems like there are really two markets, those who are willing to sacrifice a great deal of size, sfr, yard, parking, safety, etc. to live near downtown and the university and those who are not….  Wikipedia says it well:Charlottesville is an independent city located within the confines of Albemarle County in the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, and named after Princess Sophia Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the wife of King George III of England.But are there two Charlottesvilles?…  He never left the Mall area, rode a bike everywhere – he existed without need for outside influences.Condos, condos, condos!Part and parcel of this “City lifestyle” may best be depicted by the recent condo boom that has defined the Charlottesville (City of) real estate market for the past couple of years….  The City of Charlottesville does seem to be overtaken in parts by Urban Hipsters, but there is more to the City than condos and coffee shops, although we have plenty of ’em.But yes, there is a Charlottesville within Charlottesville, but we all have to live together.Charlottesville Fact sheet, Albemarle Fact sheet.
