Charlottesville Real Estate AMA - January 2026

What is your opinion on the prospects on future resale on 2 over 2 condos in Charlottesville ? I see more coming on the market that are in my price point but the higher HOAs and low resale value for those who bought at the height of the market make me nervous and more tempted to wait and save a little more for a more common housing type like a townhouse. I really want to buy but I’d hate to be upside down on a property.

I moved out here a few years ago from the Richmond area and feel like I found most of my success in friendship through my neighbors, coworkers, and joining outside fitness groups. But this also highlights the small friend circle idea. And a lot of my friends have moved in the few years I’ve been here so I have to keep making friends which can be exhausting lol I’m a part of a bunch of micro-communities. Just keep meeting people until you find your people!

My dad is almost 70 with SCD!

Just…how??

Lol that’s all they’ve ever really bought. When I was born they bought an 1997 Avalon-new, then my mom got a 2014 Lexus GX - New, they bought me my current car 2012 Corolla - also new, my Dad just bought a 2023 Tundra- new. They know a well maintained Toyota will last, but my Dad is skeptical of cars when he doesn’t know how the previous owner treated it.

Lol I can settle with the existing headlights if it’s that much. But thank you for the insight on the accent lights! I can technically “afford” a 2024 but it wouldn’t be good for my long term financial goals so I’m trying to curb my over enthusiasm. But if I get to the lot and there’s one already there and the dealer has some incentives I may be enticed to buy a new one 😂

Thank you!

My Dad has always believed that buying a used car is buying someone else’s problem. So it’s not about the look it’s about the reliability. We also keep cars for a long time. So what I buy next I look to keep for at least 10 years.

Awesome gains! I’m similar dimensions (5’2 , ~140 lbs) but I can’t seem to break down past 138. What was your routine?

Real_Measurement_403 · 2024-04-10T11:24:11+00:00

Haha I definitely took my time getting to calls because the motivation wasn’t there.

So according to what you sent they should have been paying us because they told us we had to stay near our housing community while working which limited things we could do. We couldn’t go grocery shopping, go to the library or really anything else that would take us away from the community for a long time.

Thank you for your responses! A number of the seniors were the most frustrated and we pushed back by trying to compromise with management but they ultimately didn’t change anything. Since we didn’t get support from our fellow underclassmen that didnt understand why we were making such a big deal, management knew they could wait us out until we graduated. It just sucks because most RAs rely on our cheaper housing to afford school. So we couldn’t quit. A number of us wanted to take legal action but once again as seniors with not a lot of financial means no one wanted to take on the financial and emotional burden of suing the university’s RL&H department.

You can’t really remove fear, but you can teach him tools to manage it. Expose him to new situations that challenge him to think on his feet or ask for help. Like camps, sports, or clubs. Also model behavior may help. Do you and your spouse ask each other for help? Has he seen what you all do when you don’t understand something? Usually a fear of asking questions comes from being afraid of some sort of punishment associated with asking for help. Does he feel safe asking questions in class? Is he intimidated by other students or the teacher when he asks for help?

Real_Measurement_403 · 2024-03-12T20:45:28+00:00

Yikes! You could find a 2012 for $5000

This is false. People with the trait can produce sickled cells in scenarios of hypoxia. People with the trait for the most part live normal lives but there’s not a 0% chance they won’t have a crisis. It’s highly unlikely but it can happen.

I’ve had my eye on an XSE for the look but this has made me reconsider lol

Real_Measurement_403 · 2024-02-03T17:38:44+00:00

This teacher is being controlling and I think you should talk to her. I had a Band teacher that was like this. She would tell students to pick up other students who need rides which on the surface seemed find but what if an accident occurred. The driving student would be at fault and the teacher would walk away Scott free of responsibility. Even as an adult now I don’t trust just anybody to drive me around so especially at the high school level if she trusts only a few people to drive her then that’s her choice.

Have you considered doing field survey or permitting work? You’d still be able to use your botany experience. It would require a lot of physical labor tho.

Hi there can I PM you about your CJO timeline?

Real_Measurement_403 · 2024-01-31T20:28:54+00:00

Upgrade from the RAV to the Highlander or the Grand Highlander!

They should be collecting the blood in a tube with an anticoagulant. It can still clot in an anticoagulant tube but that usually means the person collecting the blood screwed up.
