Charlottesville Famous Residents!

The history of the Charlottesville area will amaze you. Several presidents called this home. Meriwether Lewis, of Lewis and Clark, birth place is about a mile from my home. Of course, Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark from here to the West! Charlottesville has had several famous residents (see below) add to this list, Dave Mathews Band, Sissy Spacek and Jessica Lange. The author, John Grisham calls Charlottesville home and most Virginia football fans would recognize Howie Long who lives in the wonderful Ivy area of Charlottesville VA. USA Today says "Mr. Jefferson would be proud".

How many bedrooms are selling?

Sometime a picture is worth a thousand words and to me a chart may be worth a little more!

Below are sales for this year (all areas around Charlottesville) shown by number of bedrooms. What we see is 3 bedroom homes are dominate with 4 bedrooms right behind that.

I think it would be interesting to pull the numbers from the peak of the market and see if these numbers were true back then.

Stay tuned!

Court Square Charlottesville

Historic Court Square

Historic Court Square Charlottesville In the late 1800's (well over a century ago) when you drove around Charlottesville you went by horse and buggy.

The City of Charlottesville decided to install four watering fountains in our downtown area.

These fountains for not just for horse but also for the citizens of Charlottesville and other domestic animals.

The water was fed through these four "fish-like features" to an upper bowl that overflowed and filled the lower trough for animals.

This city water system flowed for many years and a similar one was in front of our courthouse on Jefferson St.

Charlottesville Court HouseIn the year 1926 the Monticello Hotel was built and the fountain was removed.

Fast forward to 2004 and the Charlottesville Volunteer Fire Company and the City of Charlottesville have now restored one of the original four fountains.

A walk through the brick lined street of our town square is like a walk back in time. I hope you enjoy some of the photos I have taken.

Come visit Historic Charlottesville and see our Historic Court Square.

It is chilly outside, about 19 degrees calling for a high of 33 degrees. But I am on my way out to show homes in the Charlottesville area. Yes I am wearing a coat today :)

I also had to drink a couple extra cups to get warm!

Also, working on a couple contracts, yes there is still contracts being written it is just that the deals seem move involved than in the past. We are seeing issues with lenders, the county and even with sellers not understanding what it takes to close a deal.
