First of all Crozet is not a dirty word, it is a small town just West of Charlottesville.

Many times when I am out I find that I do not have a camera with me...but I always have my blackberry and it takes great photos. Recently I was out and took this photo:

I was amazed at this skylight and the way it created let in so much light even on a cloudy day.

Well, I just happened to be in the new Harris Teeter in Crozet. Yes, I was grocery shopping with my wife :)

Ok, she was shopping and I was taking pictures... long story short, here is the poster on the way out of the store:

I think the poster says it all!

A great idea from a great store.

As you drive under the train overpass in Crozet you can not help but see the artwork on the side walls.

Many towns have grafitti or "tags" I for one am certainly glad we do not.

Just one more little thing that makes this area (at the base of the Blue Ridge) special.

The date is set for May 6th. The Grand opening of the Harris Teeter "Your Neighborhood Food Market" in Crozet Virginia. Located jest west of Charlottesville!

The Crozet Gazette did a feature story on it: Click Here

Here is part of the story:

"Harris Teeter will open its Crozet store in the Blue Ridge Shopping Center on Rt. 250 May 6 with an 8 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by corporate officials. The 42,000-square-foot store is the chain's first designed to meet LEED standards for environmentally sustainable buildings"

Many of my clients in the Crozet Area are excited about this local store!

The convenience is surely welcome!

NOTE: This is a time sensitive post.... dated March 19th, 2009

My Suntrust Lender, Sandy Madison is always upto date on the lastest. Below is information on recent events and how it may relate to your Charlottesville Real Estate Search:

Hot off the press:

On Wednesday the Federal Reserve announced their plan to purchase up to an additional $750 billion in mortgage backed securities, $100 billion from Fannie & Freddie plus $300 billion in long term U.S. Treasury Bonds. 

The plan to purchase up to an additional $750 billion in MBS comes on the heels of the announcement earlier to purchase $500 billion in mortgage backed securities.  The Fed has been the major player in the mortgage market over the past four three months which has been most influential in keeping rate low.  Today the message was clear, "We are here to stay". 

In our Market Update last week, we addressed the concern China's Premier had in the amount of U.S. debt his country had invested.  His remarks, reflecting those of all global investors, were pointed directly at the economic leaders of our country looking for assurance that our government was fully committed to the long term.  Today the response from the United States government was clear, "We are here to stay".  Our eyes well with tears while chills run down our back when we witness our government speak to world with such conviction.  We are truly thankful to live in this country.

Today's announcement was impetus both national and global investors needed as they quickly jumped on the opportunity to purchase mortgage backed securities and treasuries.  The demand for these investments spiked driving the price up which in turn pushed the yield (interest rate) down.  As the buying continued through the afternoon, interest rates plummeted to levels we have not seen.  It is as simple as "When we have something you really want, we are going to make you pay more for it (bond price) and give you less in return (yield)".

How can this help: 

Your current fence sitting buyers and potential buyers should be encouraged to get in the game quickly.  Remember the motivation behind the Fed's actions is to aid the recovery of the real estate market and the sooner the better.  A recovery will bring stability to home prices followed by an increase.  Do you have buyers whose interest cooled because of home prices?  As the combination of the initiatives our government has made begin to take hold, the prices today may not be available in the months ahead.  If at the time the sales price was higher than desired, the lower rate may bring the payment within their desired range.  Refer to example in our Market Update just two weeks ago comparing today's prices and last year's interest rates.

At the close of business Wednesday, your purchase client with a qualifying credit score putting 20% down could secure a conventional 30-Year Fixed rate at 4.375% with .500 points on a 30-day lock (APR:  4.454%).

Today in Charlottesville!

The kids got a two hour delay from school and all is grand in Charlottesville.

Everyone came out to enjoy the light snow (about an inch) .... see photo I took below:

I know that the weather can be inconvenient for many people. Delays in school, work etc... I for one just like to get out and enjoy it!

I hope you do too?

When you do something new you want to learn from those who have experience.

When you are looking at new construction in the Charlottesville Area do you need an Agent?

The short answer is YES...

Let's ask ourselves a few questions:

How many times have you had a home built?

How many builders do you know?

Will you have the builder/county inspector tell you that your home is built to code?

Does a "certificate of occupancy" mean the home is done?

As with anything new you need the guidance of an expert. Use a REALTOR to get you though the many addition stages of building a home. But do be sure that you Agent has experience with new construction...

And I do not mean they took a course or have a certificate. I mean first hand experience...

The relationship between an Agent and a Client is so much more valuable that you might think.

Any questions?

I gotta tell you I have some great clients and some have a fantastic sense of humor. Here is one of my clients dog (dressed for Halloween):

Now the message from my clients said:

"Charles, thought you might enjoy seeing the dog's Halloween costume. The toughest part was getting the bow on; the rest was natural to his character"

What a great sense of humor!!!

The movie "Evan Almighty" was filmed in Crozet Virginia, just outside of Charlottesville.

It was in a wonderful neighborhood called Old Trail at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains.

 This is a photo I took of the ARC being built. It was amazing and as I showed Real Estate in Old Trail with a client, we drove by an elephant that splashed my truck with water!

I am amazed at how many movies have been filmed in our little area near Charlottesville Virginia!

I hope you got a chance to see the movie?

Well actually to Old Trail, located in Crozet Virginia.

The town center has announced that Segway will be opening a store in the Old Trail town center.

This is great!

If you have read my blog you know that this development has both sidewalks and trails.

Many people have already discovered that Segway PT's are a fun, ultra-economical and environmentally friendly way for today's urban commuter to get around town!

Not to mention GOLF!!!

Soon you will be seeing folks zipping along on their Segway with ZERO emissions!

Have you seen the off-road versions of the Segway?

What fun! I want one too!!!

Walking down the sidewalks in Old Trail, Crozet Virginia is a treat. It is like taking a step back in time when kids are riding bikes and people actually go outside to see and visit with neighbors.

Look at this home and the surrounding areas. There are blue skys and of course the Blue Ridge Mountains. Makes you want to take a walk!

This home just went under contract today. Someone saw the value and beauty of the area... Do you?

Come visit anytime and we will take a walk together!
