That House Cost What??

With the first half of 2008 in the books (with 954 sales in the first half of the year), you might have been wondering what the most expensive sales in the Blacksburg/Christiansburg/Radford area have been in the first half of the year.  When the median home price in the same area is $188500 YTD, and the average is $215662, it's interesting to see what some of the higher-priced homes are selling for.  Admit it - you've driven by that McMansion and wondered how much they paid!  Thankfully, it's all public record, and pulled directly from MLS.  Here are the top 5 single-family detached, townhouses and condos that have sold in Blacksburg/Christiansburg/Radford the first half of this year.

Condominiums

• 401 South Main Street, Unit #301, Blacksburg VA - This 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath two-story loft could be yours for game days and weekend getaways.  Well, the next one, anyway.  This condo has a second room that could be a bedroom, it just doesn't comply with zoning.  It was listed and sold on February 28th for $373900.
