In addition, 16 of the Lake Monticello homes for sale at this time are waterfronts appealing to the second home buyer as well as fulltime residents.

Just as there is a wide price range of homes for sale in Lake Monticello there is also a variety of home styles. Many different builders constructed homes at the Lake and as a result this is not a cookie cutter neighborhood. You can find just about any home style that you are looking for.

Whereas the majority of the Lake Monticello homes are used as a primary residence, you will find some that are bought as a 2nd home, particularly by people from Northern Virginia who find the 2 hour drive to the Lake the perfect distance for a vacation or weekend home. A Lake Monticello waterfront home or a Lake Monticello golf course home may be the perfect choice for a spot to "vacation at home".

The population of homeowners at the Lake is a mix of young professionals, families, members of the workforce such as policemen, teachers and nurses, and retirees.

Lake Monticello offers a wide range of amenities. The gated community is centered around a 350 acre lake that is perfect for water sports such as boating, fishing, or swimming from one of the several beaches. There is a club with dining, a pool, playground, golf course, basketball.

Although the neighborhood is conveniently located about a 20 minute commute from Charlottesville, you do not have to go that far to run many of your errands. There are several small shopping centers around the outside of the Lake. These include such business as a grocery store, pharmacy, hardware store, garden center, fitness center, jewler, pizza parlor, and several restaurants. There are also several nearby churches.

Whatever your needs, a Lake Monticello home may offer the solution to your home shopping needs.

This Lake Monticello real estate market report will focus on the sales of single family detached homes in Lake Monticello during june 2009.

13 Lake Monticello homes sold during June 2009. The average sale price was $204,646. The homes had been on the market for an average of 137 days and sold for an average of 97.48% of the list price.

In May 10 homes sold at the Lake. The average sale price was $245,750, with an average DOM of 102. They sold for an average of 94.85% of the list price.

18 Lake Monticello homes had contracts that closed during April. The average sale price was $208,336. The homes were on the market for an average of 116 days and sold for an average of 96.10% of the list price.

Lets compare the sales for the year to date in 2008 with the sales from the same period this year. From 1/1/2008-7/1/2008, 104 homes sold at Lake Monticello; however during the same time frame in 2009 only 65 Lake Monticello homes sold. This represents a decline in sales of -37.5%.

Today 7/21/2009 there are 143 Lake Monticello homes for sale. They are listed for an average price of $270,679 and have been on the market for an average of 134 days so far. The inventory needs to be bought down quite a bit before we will see anything near a return to a balanced Lake Monticello real estate market. Since there are only a couple more months for first time home buyers to be able to take advantage of the tax credit, hopefully we will see some strong sales of the lower priced homes throughout the summer.

The above figures are from the mls and while they are presumed correct are not guaranteed.
