Monthly Notes | Seeking Better Realtors, Population Controls, The Market & Realtors -v- Zillow
Until the end of this year, I’m going to be posting my monthly notes.

Also, I’ll be looking back at the 2014 Charlottesville real estate market, looking forward to 2015, and a few other interesting things. Curious? Two clicks here and you’ll get the note in…
“Charlottesville” is a great “holiday town”
“Charlottesville” is a great “holiday town” … whatever that means.
Travel & Leisure Magazine ranked Charlottesville as #22 in their list of “America’s Best Towns for the Holidays.”
Two notes:
1) I’ve gleefully driven through the Corner multiple times since (most of) the students have departed; it’s so much quieter right now.
2) I put “Charlottesville” in quotation marks as the Magazine clearly means “the Charlottesville area” …
