When Does the Charlottesville Real Estate Season Begin?
Left as a message via the message box on the right last night: I’m looking for a house, but can’t find what I’m looking for east of town in the right price range. When do you think the “season” will begin and we will see more of a variety of listings on the market? … What this doesn’t show is what percentage of these listings sold or what their prices were … that’s a story for another day.

McIlmail told members of the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce at the Charlottesville Business Expo luncheon that an additional 600 jobs could be created and filled by local residents.

Charlottesville Area Real Estate Market Report – 3rd Quarter 2009
As with most everything when looking the Charlottesville area real estate market, look for the trends, rather than the specific data points. The Nest Report is coming shortly as is the market report I do every quarter.
