Albemarle County VA Real Estate Market Report – November 2011

This Albemarle County real estate market report will focus on the sale of single family detached homes.  We will look at the November real estate activity and see how it compares with the activity over the past two years.

As we look at the total sales figures from this year so far compared with 2010 we will see that there is little difference. This years sales total is up very sllightly and prices are generally down. Month to month we have seen a volatile market that has gone up and down following the economic and political news. We still need to see a significant reduction in inventory so that we can reach a balanced market.

Greene County VA Real Estate Market Report – November 2011

This Greene County real estate market report will examine the sales of  single family detached homes during November 2011.  We will also look at data on how the Greene County real estate market has performed over the past two years.

When you compare this year so far to the previous year we can see that the Greene County real estate market has remained fairly stable; however month to month it has been a bit of a roller coaster as buying activity has reacted to the volatile ecconomic climate. Prices are down for the year as a whole as are sales totals, but not dramatically. Unfortunately inventory amounts also remain fairly stable, which means that we remain firmly in a sellers market. We will need to see a pickup in sales to buy down inventory to a 6 month inventory level before Greene County real estate will enter a balanced market. This is pretty much what we are seeing throughout Central Virginia.

Buying A Charlottesville Foreclosure – Part 1

Everyone has listened to the news and is familiar with the growing number of foreclosures across the country.  While Charlottesville and Central Virginia do not have as many bank owned properties on the market as are seen in many parts of the country, we do have them.  Because of the possibility to purchase a Charlottesville foreclosure for a very good price, there is a lot of interest in these homes.  We see both investors and buyers looking for a home to live in themselves who are curious about the foreclosure market.

What is the foreclosure market like in the Charlottesville area?  What kind of REO properties do we have in our real estate market and what is involved in purchasing one?

This is the first in a series of videos on Buying A Charlottesville Foreclosure.
