Keswick, VA

 One of the premier Areas in Albemarle County is the small town of Keswick. Do not blink when you drive by or you will miss it.

Starting with the grand entrance (one of the few gated) which is key accessed and guarded.

You will be greeted with some of the finest estate homes around Charlottesville.

You can see by the grand signs that all details of Keswick Estates are cared for. The grounds are perfectly manicured! The roads are graceful and charming!

There is a fabulous private golf course and it is never crowded. Lunch in the country club is a real treat! Just remember, do not blink or you will miss it!

Better yet, when we tour for your future home, let’s visit Keswick Estates. You will be glad you did!

Schools – It may sound vague when an agent talks about schools but Buyer and Listing agents can not "steer" a client to or from a school.

Crime – I hear it all the time, how is the crime in this area. Again an agent will be vague and refer you to a website or the police dept.

Race and Religion - Who lives in this neighborhood. This is a biggie. Think about this for a minute, agents can not give you a cross reference of nationalities or religion in an area. We can not even tell you if there are a lot of kids in a neighborhood. We will say something like "well, when we drive around, let's see if there are play-sets and bicycles".

Sex-offenders/Megan's Law – We actually write this one into our contracts, giving you a place to look for this information, but as an agent, we can not do this for you.

This is why I have links to pertinent information on my Charlottesville VA Real Estate website

The Glemore real estate market is on the up swing as we saw Glenmore home sales rise in May.

The graph below illustrates the sales of Glenmore homes during the months of March, April and May. As you can see March was totally dead and then activity picked up in April with 8 Glemore homes going under contingent and pending contracts resulting in 5 sales during the month of May. We also see that 5 homes have contracts that are contingent and pending during May. So far June has been very active in the Glenmore real estate market with new listings, home showings and 4 homes so far this month with contingent and pending contracts and 2 more with contracts that have closed; this is very encouraging since we are only 1/3 of the way through the month.

There are currently 36 Glenmore homes for sale at an average list price of $902,515, a median of $794,450 and an average days on market of 138. The Glenmore homes that are for sale are resales and range in price from $485,000 to $1,488,688. This is not a cookie development; there is a variety of home styles to choose from. Or you can buy one of the 22 lots that are also for sale in Glenmore, bring your own builder and build a new home to suit your particular tastes.

Glenmore is a gated community conveniently located in Keswick Virginia minutes from Charlottesville VA. This is a scenic neighborhood of gracious homes set around a beautiful golf course. The amenities include a country club with excellent dining, pool, tennis, fitness facility, walking trails and an attached equestrian center.

All figures are from the mls and while they are assumed correct are not guaranteed.

Working with new construction and builders is a big part of my business. Many of my clients choose to build their dream home in Charlottesville and there are some excellent builder to choose from in our area. As your buyers agent I will help you though the process of finding the perfect building site and working with you and the builder to completion.

Many clients do not realize that there is no additional cost to you as builders see the fee paid to a buyers agent as a marketing expense. I have several builders that want to work with me because it helps with a smoother transaction and they know that I have experience in the building process.

There are many challenges with building and I have even helped clients in the design of their homes. It is an amazing process and does require personal attention.

One thing clients need to be aware of is that I represent your interests, not the builders and this is a very important point.

Many times we find the perfect home already built and this is where my negotiation skills and knowledge of market conditions saves you a great deal of time and money.

Let me know if you have any questions?

Your Agent in Charlottesville Virginia,
Charles McDonald

If you are keeping an eye on Glenmore homes for sale, you should know that activity is picking up.

One of the best ways to track sales activity in the current market is by looking at the pending and contingent contracts. In the month of April to date, 4/23/2009, 5 Glenmore homes have contingent contracts and there is one home with a contract pending. Compare this with the March activity whe there was only one home for sale in Glenmore with a contract pending and no contingent contracts. In February we saw one home with a pending contract and one with a contingent contract.

As you can see from these figure Glenmore home sales are up in spring market and we still have one more week to go this month.

The Glenmore Spring Real Estate Market is heating up. Spring is the perfect time to come home to Virgintoia!

There are currently 39 Glenmore homes for sale ranging in price from 495.000 to $1,488,688. There is a wide range of styles, sizes and price range in this very special community. Now is the perfect time of year to take a tour of Glenmore and experience the Glenmore lifestyle.
