Apparently E*Trade own 225 Bedford Park Road in Foxchase in Crozet (technically Charlottesville, but really Crozet).
As far as I know, this is the first foreclosure in Foxchase and is an indication that foreclosures are not isolated to any particular price point.
I think this home offers potentially a great opportunity. Built by High Harbor Homes in 2006, it was purchased for $899,000 – $241/ft. Now it’s being offered for $167/foot (apparently the previous owners finished approximately 600 square feet as well).
The house has been on the market since May of 2008.
