Charlottesville’s Real Estate Blog since 2005.

Clear, Honest Market Analysis. For People, Not Realtors.

The media attention is just one of many reasons
that central Virginia has experienced record-breaking real estate transactions
every year since 1998. According to the Charlottesville Association of
Realtors, sales for 2003 increased 2.8% from the previous year’s record. The
first quarter of 2004 has shown that the upcoming year could very well be
another record breaker with sales above this time last year. Charlottesville
house prices typically range from $180,000 to $300,000 for a contemporary 3-4
bedroom home…. The median price for a home in the Charlottesville metro area
is $122,400, according to the 2000 census.
