September 2022 property transactions: Several commercial buildings change hands

The latest in a series of anecdotal reviews of property transactions in the City of Charlottesville

This is definitely a much slower month, anecdotally speaking. At some point, I am hoping something will click and I’ll be able to present the data in ways that can more clearly show trends. But that’s not the point of this monthly newsletter on property transactions in the city of Charlottesville.

The point is for me as a person who lives here and a longtime journalist to go through and know who is purchasing what properties. I only identify purchasers or sellers if they are corporate entities. I am not trying to point out patterns. I just find this to be a useful exercise that helps me better understand the city where I live and a beat for which people pay me to cover. 

In many cases, I list both the 2021 and the 2022 assessment to show how much these increased in Charlottesville over that period. It’s not too early to think about what the 2023 assessments will be and how they have been affected by the market this year. 

This is one of a handful of items that paid subscribers to Charlottesville Community Engagement get to see first. I am hoping to add more such features soon and as I become more efficient. I am very supportive of all of the people who have opted to pay for a subscription to help keep me going. Everyone gets to see this bit, but paid subscribers get a five-day preview before it’s posted to Information Charlottesville.
