What better way to tackle snow removal in Del Ray than with an impromptu "block party" on East Howell Avenue.

The bright sun and crisp clean air brought out the neighbors to lend their collective efforts in clearing sidewalks and driveways. As a secondary road we won't see snow plows for several days so right now it's a do it yourself affair.

But with neighbors like this it's not bad, not bad at all . . .

What a price for the Oceanfront in Virginia Beach. Recently a home sold at the Oceanfront for $7.6 million. I t was the most expensive piece of real estate sold in some time at the Oceanfront. The home was the retreat of Art Sandler. Sandler and his brother own L.M. Sandler & Sons, a beach based housing development firm. Most of us have heard of them one way or another but who can afford such a price? How about the chief executive of ADS, Inc. Luke Hillier. What does ADS do? How about supplying special operations gear to the military. Mr. Hillier is teaming up with US Development Co. and they are looking at turning the Union Mission building in downtown Norfolk into apartments.

I must admit, I'm very sad that Ukrops has been sold!

I always felt special when I walked into Ukrops: Carrying out my groceries, babysitting, if needed, snack during my trip. And I also like the fact that all employees had Sundays off!

But I do not feel like I am in a mall like I do when I visit Wegmans!

Honestly, I don't know why the chain had to sell. Why did higher standards not work out for Ukrops when it works so well for Chick-Fil-A.

I know that the new owner will make changes - including the sell of alcohol and being open on Sundays.

I would rotate between 3 different stores: Ashland, Glen Allen, and Fredericksburg. And make sacrifices to support the store. I have not decided what I'll do now. I think I'll be spending more dollars in the county for local support.

I've been keeping up with the Changes at Richmond Biz Sense.

Boy! Al Gore and his Global Warming! You would think that after inventing the internet and all he would realize that he has done enough for the world....now I have come to realize he has also fixed Global Warming!

I hope you enjoy some of the pictures I took of Roaoke and Botetourt County VA this past week.

This Fluvanna County VA real estate market report follows the sale of single family detached homes during January 2010.

22 Fluvanna County homes sold during January. The average sale price was $227,646 after being on the market for an average of 67 days. The homes sold for an average of 100% of the list price.

16 homes had contracts that closed in Fluvanna County during December of 2009. The homes had an average sale price of $201,558 and had been on the market for an average of 101 days. They sold for an average of 98% of the list price.

27 homes sold in Fluvanna during November 2009. The homes sold for an average sale price of $220,947. The homes were on the market for an average of 178 days and sold for an average of 98% of the list price.

Today February 9, 2010 there are 244 Fluvanna County VA homes for sale. They are listed for an average of $315,419 with a median of $249,000. The homes have been on the market for an average of 158 days so far.

During January 2010, 22 homes sold on the Fluvanna County VA real estate market. During Jaunuary of 2009 only 9 Fluvanna County homes sold, so the Fluvanna County market is off to a much better start than last year.

One of the first things that we can deduce from these figures is that there is still way too much inventory to be sold down on the Fluvanna County real estate market. At the January rate of home sales there is 11.09 months of inventory. 6 months of inventory is a balanced market. In addition, looking at the price homes that are selling, it is apparent that it is the lowest price ranges that are going under contract. However the median and average price of the homes that are actively listed for sale are well above the average and median price of the homes that are selling.

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