This Louisa County VA real estate market report will examine the sales of single family detached homes during July 2009.

19 Louisa County homes sold in July. The average sale price was $241,915, with an average days on market of 168 days. The homes sold for 95.42% of the list price.

In June 2009, 17 homes in Louisa County had contracts that closed. The homes sold for an average of $196,226. They were on the market for an average of 136 days and sold for an average of 95.45% of the list price.

8 Louisa County Virginia homes sold during May of 2009. The average sale price was $216,811, with an average DOM of 181. They sold for an average of 95.06% of the list price.

Today 1/13/2009 there are 190 Louisa County VA homes for sale for an average list price of $356,710, a median of $236,435. The homes have been on the market for 192 days so far.

In the time frame from 1/1/2008-8/1/2008, 200 homes sold in Louisa County, however only 142 Louisa County VA homes sold during the same time period this year. This represents a decline in sales in the Louisa County VA real estate market of -29.0%.

As you can see the Louisa County VA home sales have increased during the past two months. However with the lower numbers for contingent and pending homes in July I would not expect to see a similar increase in homes sold for August. If you look at the graph of year to date sales you can see how there have been considerably fewer homes sold this year to date as compared with last year and also that the largest number of sales have been in a lower price range.

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

Several new clients have contacted me lately inquiring about Charlottesville VA 55+ communities or active adult communities, but they have not understood what makes up a 55+ community.

The Charlottesville area has several 55+ communities. Unlike many people's preconceptions, 20% of the residents in a 55+ neighborhood may actually be under age 55. When you examine this regulation it actually makes perfect sense. Many couples have age differences with one spouse being over 55 and the other under. With these regulations if the older spouse dies the younger may still remain in the home. Or suppose for some reason a grandchild would need to come live with the grandparents; in a 55+ community that would be able to happen. However in an over 62 community, all of the residents must be 62 years old or older.

Many Charlottesville 55+ communities have amenities such as walking trails which appeal to the active lifestyle of our older adult population. Other of these communities are located to be convenient to shopping or senior centers. First floor masters and one floor living are important considerations for these homebuyers as well.

The following are Charlottesville Virginia 55+ neighborhoods. Branchlands is on the northside of Charlottesville, University Village to the west and The Cottages at Jefferson Heights is on Pantops just east of town. Nahor Village is close to Charlottesville in Fluvanna County. In Greene County you will find Four Seasons and Evergreen Village, and Roseland is in Nelson.
