Charlottesville Area Market Report Coming Soon
The Third Quarter Charlottesville Area Market Report is around the corner …
I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again – What do you want to know?
- Median price?
- Sales volume?
- Breakdown by property type?
- Forecasts/projections?
- How many foreclosures are there? (nobody has any idea, really)
- What percentage of home sales are new construction?
(Will it really take fourteen years for home prices to regain their peaks? … Continue reading…
Charlottesville Regional Real Estate Update – August 2009
Huge thank you to Barry Merchant with VHDA for speaking and CAAR for inviting him again to speak. This is an update to his presentation in March of this year, and it was informative, enlightening, candid and sobering.
Comments, questions and feedback welcomed. I’m planning to leave this post at the top of the page for at least the next few days, as the charts, graphs and information are very valuable. I am also planning to post my thoughts and comments shortly, but wanted to get this up as quickly as possible.

The market – buyers, sellers, Realtors, everyone, is searching (fumbling?) for equilibrium and balance.

Market Data Coming Soon
A new way to display and interact with market data in the Charlottesville market is coming soon … I was hoping that it would be ready this month, but things just didn’t work out.

Stay tuned …

End of The Year Market Report for Charlottesville Region
Agent Update – Only for Charlottesville, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene and Nelson:
Not having the membership numbers for the past several years, I omitted the “zero” column …
The number of Realtors in the Charlottesville area who have managed to do between one to five sides per year has remained fairly consistent over the past three years, with a surge at the height of the boom.
The productive Realtors seem to be suffering the most.
* To answer questions I get frequently – yes, I do make a living as a Realtor. As of this writing I am the 32nd most productive Realtor in the Charlottesville area. I hate writing that, but it’s a fact. (and our office is the 8th most productive office – not bad for a very small – ~7 agents – office)
Buyers and Sellers – when interviewing Realtors, do your due diligence and ask your prospective representation how productive they have been in the past 12 months – more on this in a later post.
Thank you sincerely for reading. Please let me know if you have any questions/comments/corrections.
