Ivy, VA

If 2010 taught us anything in the Charlottesville Real Estate market, it told us that we are seeing a market that is constantly changing. We are seeing more and more foreclosures and short-sales in our area. This is a lot of pressure on our market.

Sellers are still adjusting to market conditions by pricing aggressively and having their homes in better shape than in the past.

Buyers are still in control and are pressing sellers and yes even banks to come back to reality.

Are we at a bottom? I would not call it as it seems we may be in a sideways trend for several years. We have to get through a lot of inventory and of course unemployment is a huge pressure on all markets.

If you want to continue this discussion, feel free to contact any of our agents who are experts in our area.

You are looking for answers, not just a list of homes. Most agents and brokers do not understand this. They just pay to have a generic website and put it out there to see what happens.

5 years ago I started building my own website and have added to it consistently. I take feedback from clients and use that feedback as a challenge to add new features to my website.

At Solutions we understand that that the homes on our site are available on other sites too. But the difference is we do not represent the homes, we represent you the buyer.

Sure we have listings, but representing both sides of a transaction is "old school" and the way many old brokerages still think.

Visit our site and see why it is one of the most popular sites in our area for homes, land, farms and estates.

My kids are very excited that School is Closed due to weather.

This extended their Christmas Vacation (no reference to the movie) by 2 days and it is a great time for some quality family time!

I am also taking the day off of showing homes, got a little paper work to do, but then we are having a family movie!

When you are looking for Charlottesville Real Estate remember that Charlottesville is in Albemarle County.

We have grand estates and horse farms in Albemarle. The back roads will give you a feeling of peace and harmony as you drive by these beautiful properties. When you are ready to tour, just give me a call, it is my favorite thing to do in our area.
