 Glenmore Homes can be a good choice for downsizing. When you are thinking of Glenmore homes downsizing  might not be what first comes to mind.  The first image that you think of could be a luxury golf course home and Glenmore certainly has a fine selection of those.  However, the cottage section provides a choice of smaller homes on smaller lots for homebuyers searching for quality in a smaller package.  Glenmore cottages come in several sizes and styles.  One thing that they all have in common is a first floor master.  After that there is a variety of choices.  They can range from a two bedroom 2,000 sq foot cottage all on one level to 4 bedrooms with a full finished walkout basement and over 4000 square feet of living space.  Of course there is a 2 car attached garage and lawn mainte...

You may think of Glenmore as a golf community but Glenmore has something for everyone. The Glenmore neighborhood is built around an 18 hole championship golf course, but this neighborhood is more that just a golf course community.  The Glenmore Country Club offers a state of the art tennis complex, pool and fitness center.  If sports aren't your cup of tea, you will enjoy the excellent dining offered by the Glenmore Country Club.  And there is plenty of common area with walking trails to get out and enjoy the beauty of the gently rolling countryside. Glenmore offers a home choice for everyone as well.  A Glenmore cottage can provide the perfect choice for a retiree, or single looking for a smaller home option.  There are plenty of choices for growing families.  In addition there is a se...

One of the premier luxury Charlottesville golf course communities is Keswick Estate. Last week I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend the week at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Resort.  The center of the community was a beautiful Arnold Palmer signature golf course.  As a matter of fact the course was busy getting ready for the Arnnold Palmer Invitational Tournament which will begin on March 21 and is a prime event on the PGA tour. In Charlottesville we have our own Arnold Palmer signature golf course at the Keswick Club.  The stunningly beautiful course is surrounded by the luxury homes of Keswick Estate.  Currently there are 9 homes listed for sale in this exclusive community ranging in price from $649,000 to $2,850,000.  There are also lots available for sale if you would like...

Having just been to our local post office to get my personal and business mail as well as buy some stamps, I am sorry to see that many areas of the country may loose this valuable small town resource to cost cutting measures. Almost 2000 small and uneconomical sites may be closed in addition to the 491 already slated for closure.  Although the USPS indicates it is not cutting home delivery, not having counter or clerk staff for mailing packages, buying stamps or handling special requests will be difficult for may citizens of rural areas.  See if there are sites in your area slated for closing on the WSJ article.  This is a photo of our HISTORIC Keswick post office.   http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/st_postoffice0124_20110124.htmll

Calculations differ so my guesstimate is 12 inches of snow on our cars and drive here in Keswick, VA.....Neighbor with a blade on his truck cleared our drive yesterday * my SoCal husband has a new JEEP and transferred his VIRGINIA vanity plate of WAVGUY to his new car....I grabbed camera from my car to take this picture before he destroyed the evidence.....Yes, it DOES snow in Virginia!!!

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...

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 co...
