As you can see the real estate market in Louisa County continues to be extremely slow.  The other thing that is apparent is the fact that the buyers that are out there are not comfortable spending as much on a home as they were a year ago.  The lower median does not mean that home values have gone down that much, but rather it shows us what todays home buyer is comfortable spending.

If you would like to discuss the Louisa County real estate market and how it might relate to your situation, I would be happy to speak with you.  If you are considering buying a Louisa home, now is a great time.  The large inventory offers a lot of choices, interest rates are at historic lows and with the large number of days that some of these homes have been on the market you might be able to get the home of your dreams at a very good price.
