If you could turn back the clock on Charlottesville real estate prices and buy today for the same price or less than buyers were paying in 2004, wouldn’t that be amazing? If you think it sounds too good to be true, it’s not, but the more incredible thing about current conditions and current sentiment is that we are actually debating whether or not this represents excellent value.

As a Charlottesville Realtor, I find the comments and statements of outsiders visiting the Charlottesville area 
fascinating. By now many of you may have already read what NY Times Travel Blogger Joshua Kurlantzic wrote in his post about his “36 Hours in Charlottesville, VA” on 10-26-08. If you haven’t, I believe it to be an even-handed view of Charlottesville. In it he calls to his readers attention those local Charlottesville landmarks, attractions, and outstanding local eateries we all tend to take for granted. When you live in the shadows of such natural beauty and history, one tends to loose sight of its significance and grandeur.

Cool Off in Our Albemarle County Lakes
It’s hot and the kids are bored …. Yes! It feels like the “Dog Days of Summer” even if the calendar doesn’t agree. The kids are bored, and gas is more or less $4/gallon – so what do you do?

Did you know that our 5th President lived right behind Thomas Jefferson in Albemarle County? President
James Monroe owned an estate property known as Highland, which today is called Ash Lawn – Highland. As our 5th President of the United States and a friend and compatriot of Thomas Jefferson (TJ as Cvillians refer to him), Monroe was originally from Westmoreland County, which runs along the Potomac River.

What Do They Have in Common?
Often people relocating to Charlottesville, VA will call our office or contact The Chase Team from our Charlottesville real estate website. One of the first things they ask is; “tell us about the area.” They also inquire about Charlottesville area schools and ask about interesting things for their family to do once they move to Charlottesville. Quite often we talk about dining opportunities in the Charlottesville area too. It seems everybody is a foodie these days whether you love to cook or dine out.

The Changing Desires of Albemarle County Farm and Estate Buyers
Be the first to comment on this postBecause the wants and needs of every buyer are different, it’s important Charlottesville real estate
agents ask deep probing questions. This is even more imperative if a buyer is seeking specialty properties like Albemarle farms and estates. No doubt, these buyers have discerning taste and a very unique set of wants and needs. It would be easy to simply allow an Internet property search tool to compile a list of possible Charlottesville properties. Doing that, in my humble opinion, is a terrible mistake and disservice to clients. Nothing can ever replace the interaction between a home buyer and a real estate professional particularly one who specializes in specific niche real estate markets. That’s why Albemarle County farms and estate properties are my passion.
