Williamsburg, VA

Currently there are five homes for sale in Landfall at Jamestown. Check out the details on these homes by clicking here. There are several other homeowners in Landfall at Jamewtown who would possibly sell if a buyer was to come along and make an offer.

If you think that you might like to live in Landfall at Jamestown let me know and I will be happy to help you and provide you with additional information about this waterfront subdivision in Williamsburg/James City County.

If you are interested in buying a property in the future, you need to know that it is still a buyer's market in Williamsburg, Virginia.

According to data taken from the Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors and our local MLS, we had over 16 months of inventory of active homes listed for sale in the month of September. According to researchers 6 months of inventory is a balanced real estate market.

Although 16 months of inventory sounds really high, our MLS showed that we had over 28 months of inventory in November of 2008.

While in many area of the country sales have increased substantially, that is not the case in Williamsburg. The Williamsburg real estate market is still very much in favor of the buyer. I believe that this is partially due to the fact that the foreclosures in Williamsburg didn't happen as quickly as they did in the rest of the country.

So if you would like to buy a house in Williamsburg Virginia, you can get a great deal right now and this buyers market along with low interest rates cannot possibly last forever. So don't wait!

After a recent prospect came to town looking for a home in a 55+ community in Williamsburg I assumed as I always do that they would want to live here in Williamsburg, VA. To my surprise they chose VA Beach over Williamsburg. ( A rare occurrence) It seems that they wanted to be closer to their kids who live in VA Beach so they purchased a home in West Neck a 55+ golf community in Virginia Beach, Virginia .The West Neck community sits on a quiet 620 acres and features a beautiful 18 hole, 72-par, Arnold Palmer Signature golf course, designed by Arnold Palmer and Palmer Course Design Company, that presents holes ranging from 5,031 to 7,010 yards.
