There Are Always Opportunities

      One of my sons has been looking at buying a piece of land west of us, and in his checking comparative listings, he came across this home, listed for sale by owner, just fourteen hours ago.   It is located in a county just forty- five minutes from world class health care at the University of Virginia Medical Center, in Virginia  It is twenty five minutes from a Super Wal-Mart. Otherwise, it is a rural county with a small town feel.
      There are lots of real estate opportunities available right now.  People are trading up, moving out, or acquiring before the financial landscape gets any crazier.   (No, I don't see improvements in the economy either.)

Of course, I have no financial interest in either of these homes, and I do not know the sellers.
Even after these homes have sold, I will leave this post up, so that people can see the type of listing which exist, in both rural Virginia and most other places in the country.   If you seek a more rural place, in ALL price ranges,  this might be the time to do it.



Update:  Both of these homes have now sold, but the point of the post is the same.  There are always opportunities no matter what the situation.
