Keswick, VA

I am amazed at how our Charlottesville Real Estate is still so much stronger than a lot of other areas.

If you think I am wrong...read on... and compare....

Today I was looking at a site www.hotpads.comto see how they showed foreclosures in out area. Just type in Charlottesville VA in the search box and make sure you are on the foreclosure tab.

Now a couple things about this site. First off from what I can tell the information is way out of date. I looked at listings and they were not even mapped and many of the homes were sold. So this is just a reference tool for me....

Second, I want to thank Pacita Dimacali an associate of mine from Alameda CA for introducing me to this site.

Now here is the interesting thing. Try typing in a different city into this site. Look at different States like CA and FL to get a real picture of the foreclosure market in our country.

I think you will agree that Charlottesville is holding its own. This site show us with a hand full of foreclosures (5 per the site). When I checked our local MLS which covers several counties (we have about 25 at the time of this post).

I get asked about are market all the time and the truth is in the numbers....

The Blue Ridge Home Builders Association (BRHBA) are hosting the annual PARADE of HOMES this weekend and next weekend.

September 20-21 and September 27-28 (Sat and Sun) noon-5pm

Admission is Free...

This is a great opportunity to see the latest in building techniques in our area. You may be thinking of building or looking for ideas to remodel your current home. Where else can you walk though 51 homes in different price ranges to get ideas?

There are 4 homes over 1 million in this parade (One of these 4 is under contract with a client of mine). If you read my BLOG you can figure out which one. I love to see these million plus homes to get ideas for building homes with future clients.

I also get a chance to see which builders are thinking outside of the box!

This weekend I am out showing homes again and one of the area we will see is Glenmore.

Now one of my favorite neighborhoods, when looking at Charlottesville Real Estate is Glenmore. This golf community offers not only golf and tennis but also equestrian facilities. The homes are priced from 500K-2mil+.

There is something for everyone.

When I am showing homes in Glenmore, I start by mapping out a tour.

The different areas (phases) in Glenmore are easy to locate and to navigate. The hardest part is deciding if you want a home on the course or (as I showed this past weekend) a home on a pond!

We always have a nice day at Glenmore and if we have time, we might be able to do lunch at the clubhouse.

Here are a couple of the fine homes that are available in Glenmore:
(Click on the photos for more details and pricing)

Enjoy exceptional mountain and golf views from this new home being built on one of the premier lots in Glenmore.

"The Albemarle", built by award winning builder Selinger Homes is one of the most beautiful homes in Glenmore Country Club. Prominently situated on the championship golf course, the views of the 17th fairway, pond and Carter's Mountain are breathtaking! The exquisite interior/exterior appointments found throughout will not disappoint. Most remarkable feature is the fantastic floor plan that includes both formal & informal spaces, ideal for family living and wonderful entertaining options! VIEWS

I hope that you enjoyed this brief tour of Glenmore. As always feel free to call or email anytime about these fine homes. Better yet, let's set up a tour together!
