A few tidbits from Crozet...

1. Google made it's way through Crozet a few months ago and Crozet is now on Google Streetview. Check out Nest Realtor Jim Duncan's blog for more on the topic. (Thanks to Jim Duncan for pointing this out to me)

2. There was a write up in yesterday's Daily Progress on Crozet Station and it's progress in Downtown Crozet. With the Crozet Streetscape project making great strides, the Crozet Station re-development is a perfect next step to help with the look and feel of Crozet. I agree that Crozet has its charm...but the shops, restaurants, and businesses in Downtown Crozet could use a major facelift. I think it would be a great thing for the success of those businesses and for the entire community. Read more in the Daily Progress.

Located just a few miles southwest of Charlottesville and minutes from Downtown, UVA, and Interstate 64, Redfields real estate options include single family homes and some attached manor homes. This 275-acre neighborhood features a community pool and pavilion, playground, walking trails, and a lake. Redfields homes offer views of the Albemarle County Countryside and the Ragged Mountains. Homes were built by numerous area builders between 1991 and 2007.

Redfields Market Report Through Q3 2009

After a slow start to the year, Redfields home sales have actually picked up nicely over the last few months. While you may look at the charts below and see a dramatic drop from the 74 sales in 2004 to the 22 through Q3 of this year, the 2004 sales were a complete anomoly. From 2005 to 2009, sales have remained fairly steady. In fact, this years 22 sales have already surpassed the 21 sales from both 2007 and 2008.

While sales have remained steady over the last 3 years, prices have backed off...as they have in every other neighborhood and street in Central Virginia during that span. Sales prices peaked at $173/sf in 2007, dropped to $156/sf last year and then again to $140/sf through Q3 2009.

I think we've seen such a big drop for a variety of reasons, but one of the contributing factors this year has been that there have been a lot of homes for sale in Redfields in 2009. The competition has definitely fueled price drops as sellers jockey for position in getting their homes sold against the competition. As of October 25th, there were still 10 homes for sale...so I wouldn't be surprised if prices backed off a little more over the coming months.

However, Redfields continues to be a popular neighborhood because of its amenities, popular floor plans, and proximity to Downtown and both hospitals. If prices continue to drop, I'd expect buyers to continue to snap up these homes at good prices.
