Some fabulous luxury Virginia real estate is now available...




As members of 4 separate mls', I was recently looking over the Virginia luxury homes market in Loudoun County, Charlottesville/Albemarle County and Lexington/Rockbridge areas.




There are some terrific homes available. But one thing that caught my eye...The prices are still really high. Luxury home owners are more reluctant to slash their home's prices as fast as the more needy & spec home builders. Ryan Homes, a self confessed Virginia luxury home builder, is offering a $100,000 deduction on some of their Charlottesville luxury homes.




One home I saw on the market was Meriwether Lewis's birthplace in Ivy. It's listed by Frank Hardy and in my opinion, as I have seen the home, overpriced by $500K.




Here's the link to see Meriwether Lewis's home... His father owned Cloverfields in Keswick. His mother was estranged from his father and lived in Ivy. Then know as Ivy Depot.
