Many people who come for Virginia Tech decide to stay, and Blacksburg real estate rewards local knowledge. Real Estate Search and Sale, LLC helps buyers, sellers and parents across the New River Valley from our office at 800 Park Drive in Blacksburg. Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Radford and Prices Fork are a sampling of the many communities we serve in the New River Valley. ## The Blacksburg Real Estate Market Blacksburg real estate moves with the university calendar. Faculty and staff hires, graduate students and parents buying for a student all add to demand, especially in the months before fall semester. Homes within reach of campus, Downtown Blacksburg and the Huckleberry Trail draw steady interest, while Christiansburg and Radford give buyers additional choices along U.S. 460 and Interstate 81. For current prices, we share recent sales figures from Bright MLS and Montgomery County, Virginia, records for the specific area and home type you are considering. ## Buying a Home in Blacksburg Buyers here range from faculty and staff relocating to Virginia Tech, to parents buying a home for a student, to families drawn by the area's parks, trails and easy access to the Blue Ridge. We offer live video tours for buyers who are still out of state, help coordinate inspection logistics with licensed inspectors you choose, and support remote signing where the lender and settlement company allow it. As an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), Carolyn Thompson guides buyers from pre-approval to settlement. Buyers should verify school zoning directly with the school system for any home they are considering. ## Selling a Home in Blacksburg We give sellers a suggested price range based on recent comparable sales and county records, along with adjustments to consider for timing and condition. You choose the list price. We recommend preparation priorities, can provide contact information for independent painters, cleaners and other providers, and help coordinate the logistics when you schedule them. You are free to use any licensed provider you like. Sellers who live elsewhere can sell remotely; out-of-state and overseas closings are a specialty. ## Parents and Investors Some parents buy a home for their student's years at Virginia Tech and sell or rent it afterward. We walk through the numbers with you and explain how a purchase, a rental and a later sale fit together.
