The 2010 Central Virginia real estate market was the tale of two halves. The first half was pretty good: sales were up, inventory levels were steady, buyer interest was frantic in some neighborhoods, it wasn’t uncommon to hear about multiple offer situations. Total home sales were actually up year-over-year during the first 6 months of [...]

Check out our December 2010 Charlottesville Real Estate Market Snapshot. Overall, sales dipped again (down 32%) in November 2010 from November 2009. This marks the 5th straight month of year-over-year sales declines. Surprisingly enough, although total sales were down 32%, the total volume of transactions was down much less (about 15%). Several large purchases pushed [...]

We’ve been hinting about it for a few weeks (and working on it for a few months), but we went live yesterday with our BETA version of our Nest Market Reports section. Since we launched our site, we’ve been posting market reports on our blog, The Nest Report. However, this is something a little different. [...]

Let me first throw out the disclaimer that we are desperately searching for good news in the Charlottesville area real estate market. At Nest, we’ve earned the reputation of being honest: there’s no sugarcoating in our conversations with clients. But we’d be lying if we weren’t using our magnifying glasses just a little to see [...]

We know that you’re going to be short on time, as the gates open at 5pm at the Charlottesville Pavilion for your rally with Tom Perriello .
…Assuming you arrive at our lovely airport, CHO , and that you’ll have a fun motorcade which won’t affect Charlottesville traffic on a Friday afternoon at all … you’ll probably make good time getting to Downtown Charlottesville. … We read that you like chili and pizza , and while there are great pizza places on the Downtown Mall , Fridays are Chicken and Dumplings day at Eppies, and it’s one of our favorite meals. … The Avett Brothers played there last week, and the Pavilion has hosted Willie Nelson, Widespread Panic, Crosby Stills and Nash, Sheryl Crow and Garrison Keillor, but we think you’ll be able to hold your own.

We all know that real estate is local. Taking national stats and trends and trying to apply them to our Charlottesville real estate market isn’t always relevant. Along the same lines, stats and trends in our overall local market don’t always translate to smaller sub-categories and market niches. For example, if you’re selling a $400,000 [...]
