Former Greyhound station sells for $1.5 million and dozens of other Charlottesville property transactions from July 2025

T’was the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I was well aware that I’m way behind on doing property transactions. So, I’ll just get right to the point and get this one out to paid subscribers. This is currently the only benefit for those who contribute financially.

This work is a major part of the research that goes into my work, but this year I’ve not been getting to them as fast as I used to. I will see what I can do to fix that in 2026.

I do this work manually in order to look for stories and to get a sense of what’s happening. I’m really interested in the increase in property values across the past five years and one early story in 2026 will be what the new assessments will be. That factor will influence the development of Charlottesville’s next budget.

As always, no trends are inferred here. Perhaps in 2026 I’ll add some of that. Who knows what the future will begin?
