Good signs for 2025

Walk score? Nah..not unless you mean walking in the woods

Convenient to shopping? Not really but you begin to realize that 25 minutes to the grocery store just requires a little more planning.

Fabulous neighborhood? Absolutely! We know there are neighbors somewhere and we always wave when we see em.

These two signs mean a lot to me. Pavement Ends mean we’ve slowed down considerably and End of State Maintenance means this is not a through road so the only folks using this road are the ones who live here. We are fortunate to have both those signs on our property and while today with the snow melt it’s a muddy mess and on a dry summer day the dust covers your newly washed car in less than a minute..I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

If you are looking for a townhouse, condo or a suburban house in a cul de sac in Charlottesville I am more than happy to help and with 42 years as a real estate broker in Charlottesville under my belt I am well equipped to help you through the process but if you are looking for that perfect country property with fabulous blue ridge views, a classic old farm house or antebellum estate at the end of a quiet country road, that’s my wheelhouse and I’d love to steer you in the right direction.

Happy trails!

Does it snow in Virginia? Maybe Monday!!

Does it snow in Virginia? It used to get much colder in the winter and we would expect snow every year. Recently we have had years with no snow at all and so far this year (January) we’ve just had a flurry or two. Our milder winters are actually quite nice. We could call it a Goldilocks winter, not too cold, not too warm…just right! Lately, big snows seem rarer and rarer but we can still get that perfect storm of cold temps and moisture from the south known as the Nor’easter. I’ve seen a few 24” blizzards over the years so you never know what mother nature will deliver. Here are a few snow pics from over the years and a link to some real data.
