January 2025 Monthly Note
This month: Meaningful community, a typical situation, inventory and expectations, and my first closing.
January is the month I started writing RealCentralVA in 2005, then I started writing these notes in January 2014. There have been incalculable changes in life and the real estate space since then, and two things are constant: 1) I’m writing this note as if I’m writing it to someone who is interested in the real estate market, and who is not a real estate agent/lender/etc. 2) No matter the changes in real estate, I remain committed to learning, listening, and representing my clients.

Things to Consider when Relocating (to Charlottesville or Albemarle)
What are some of the things that you consider when evaluating whether to move to Charlottesville, Virginia? What follows are some of the things my buyer clients consider, whether moving from another city within the Commonwealth of Virginia, another state, or another country. This is in no way a comprehensive list, but I think it's a good foundational start.

Mortgages, Renters, and First Time Homebuyers
1) first time homebuyers are less risky than second+ homebuyers, and rental history was now allowed to be used when qualifying buyers. I asked Matt Hodges with Gray Fox Mortgage to send me what he was talking about; when I got it, I asked him to write something for you, so we can all learn something.

What Makes a “Bad” Real Estate Agent?
What makes a "bad" real estate agent?
Easy question to ask, but first we need to define what "bad" means. And "good."
