JCC supervisors address residents at Town Hall Meeting

James City County Board of Supervisors members Jim Icenhour (Jamestown district) and Michael Hipple (Powhatan) recently appeared at Ford’s Colony’s Town Hall Meeting to brief residents on the “State of the County.”

The supervisors are invited each spring to speak on and address audience questions regarding county budgets, taxes, education, development, transportation, security and other subjects of local interest.

Icenhour, a Ford’s Colony resident, detailed the board’s achievements over the past year, including the adoption of the county’s 2045 Comprehensive Plan. Other accomplishments he noted included redistricting to balance the surge in Stonehouse-area growth and the decision to add pre-K space to existing buildings to reduce overcrowding in elementary schools.

Hipple lauded the pending county arrival of the communications company Shentel, from Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, which will bring customers the option of fiber optic cable and a new choice for phone, TV and internet services.

The supervisors’ comments and the entire meeting can be viewed at this YouTube link.

Ford’s Colony homes continue to sell above asking price

137 Waterton

Demand for Ford’s Colony homes remains strong, and my sales numbers from the first few months of 2022 illustrate exactly how much so.

From January through April, eight of my listings closed in Ford’s Colony – at an average of $32,013 ABOVE asking price. That is an unprecedented statistic for our neighborhood, one of the most popular in the entire area.

Much of that was due to the sale of 137 Waterton, a golf-front home that sold for more than $100,000 above list. However, all but one of the transactions brought either full price or beyond list price.

Following are the homes I sold with their pertinent numbers:

108 Addingtons – 3 BR, 3.1 Bath, 2,854 sq. ft. 5 days on the market. Ask price $559,000, sold price $599,000

115 Westward Ho – 4 BR, 3.1 Bath, 3,450 sq. ft. 5 days on the market. Ask price $619,000, sold price $706,000

116 Leven Links – 4 BR, 2.1 Bath, 2,790 sq. ft. 4 days on the market. Ask price $619,000, sold price $700,000

174 Blackheath* – 3 BR, 3.2 Bath, 3,354 sq. ft. 19 days on the market. Ask price $639,900, sold price 655,000

137 Waterton* – 3 BR, 2.1 Bath, 3,718 sq. ft. 5 days on the market. Ask price $805,000, sold price $911,000
