When the Meadowcreek Parkway and the new YMCA sports center are constructed, Charlottesville ‘s McIntire Park will lose some of its’ land.  However, a new group headed by Helen Flamini envisions a botanical garden for the remaining green space.  The garden would not only fill the role of protecting the environment, but would be a tourist attraction and a beautiful outdoor destination for area residents.  The park would consist of 40 acres of trails as well as plants, flowers, trees, greenhouses and conservatories.

Due to the large inventory of homes on the market sellers are looking for anything that will make their home sell faster.  According to the Daily Progress as of Friday there were 3,753 homes actively listed  in Central Virginia; this is up from 1,708 in May of 2005.  Consequently sellers have been getting creative with incentives designed to entice buyers.  These incentives may range from a simple price decrease, to the seller paying the buyers closing costs, a car or a vacation.  Another popular incentive is the seller’s purchasing a home warranty for the buyer.  However, it is important to remember that it is still vital to make sure that the home is properly priced.  No amount of incentives will persuade someone to buy an overpriced home.

Updating and remodeling projects can make your home more desirable and therefore can have an impact on its time on the market.  In today’s real estate market with such a large inventory, anything that can reduce the days that a home spends on the market can result in more money in the seller’s pocket.  If a home sells quickly, it may mean several months less of mortgage payments.  However, a remodeling project may not necessarily result in a proportunately higher sale price.
