Nest’s Site Evolves – Searching for Homes in Charlottesville

Our goal is to continue to have the most functional, most useful and most used real estate search site in Charlottesville; these improvements are a step towards meeting that goal. … New listings are now tagged (within last 14 days, can search for new listings) As a buyer/browser/interested consumer, what do you want to see on our site?
