In the last couple of years the market for Albemarle County farms and Charlottesville horse farms has been very slow. The absorption rate for these type of properties remains at several years. As a result if you have an Albemarle County farm for sale pricing correctly is crucial. The buyers are in the drivers seat and your Virginia farm will also need to be in perfect condition. At the same time, I think that calls and inquiries for properties with larger acreage has increased but many of the buyers lack urgency. There is a lot of inventory and buyers definately feel that they can wait and the property that they like will still be there.
