Floyd County is located in Southern Central Virginia close to the state line with North Carolina and is predominantly a rural community with several towns and scattered communities. The area boasts outstanding scenery with the Blue Ridge Mountains, numerous forests, mountains and waterways. There are approximately 14,000 residents and the Floyd County, VA Real Estate Market is supported by a housing stock of approximately 7,000 residential units. The bulk of the property stock is made up of family homes though almost a quarter of households are single person households. Real Estate Buyers and Real Estate Sellers can both find a great niche in this region. The Floyd County, VA Real Estate Market is characterized by a steady but relatively small number of transactions each year and the market has managed to maintain home values in the face of recession elsewhere across the country. The property market remains liquid with a healthy number of potential homebuyers looking to purchase property in an area which is attractive and is considered a desirable location. Floyd County may rely predominantly upon agriculture as the bedrock of the economy however it is notable for its musical influence on country and western music and bluegrass with many artists making this county their home. In addition, there is a large "counter culture" with many residents establishing homes and communities that look to minimize the impact of modern society and a desire to live closer to nature such as Rivendell. The Floyd County, VA Real Estate Market presents some unique challenges for potential buyers and sellers as a direct consequence. It is therefore important that buyers and sellers consult with a locally experienced Real Estate Professional before they commence looking for or selling a home in the Floyd County, VA Real Estate Market. The local market provides excellent opportunities for house hunters, with attractively priced homes offering a great deal as well an excellent lifestyle. Given the small volume of homes that are offered and the unique character of the area, many homes are sold and marketed using local word-of-mouth knowledge and take some time to reach traditional listings. A locally experienced Realtor will have a good working knowledge of what is available both through official MLS Listings as well as unofficial sources to the advantage of potential buyers. Home owners considering selling their property are also strongly advised to consult a Realtor as many sellers fail to realistically value their homes. Over valuation of homes is common and leads to a failure to attract potential buyers who are aware of the market in their favor while it is also true that there are significant instances of under valuation which leads to a failure to extract full value from the property. Using a Real Estate Agent will improve the likelihood of a speedy sale as well as achieving a realistic price for the property. Both Home Buyers and Home Sellers are also assisted in the home buying and selling process which reduces the risk of a home sale from failing resulting in a loss of time, money and effort. Floyd County offers a rural lifestyle with great family living as well as a fantastic music scene in a safe and secure community. |
