There's been a lot of talk about whether single-family zoning is good or bad for affordability. Without comment, here are some single-family homes that were built in Charlottesville in 2020.

915 Stonehenge Ave Ext, sold for $545,761.

1105 Altavista Ave, sold for $533,000.

532 Bennet St, sold for $579,000.

560 Lochlyn Hill Dr, sold for $560,000.

1507 E Market St, sold for $696,945.

909 Monticello Ave, sold for $700,000.

1618 Rialto St, sold for $474,000.

124 Franklin St, sold for $528,000.

OK, now I'll comment: if we only allow single-family homes in a neighborhood, it's going to be hard to find new homes that go for under $500,000. That seems bad!

I tried not to cherry-pick. You can check for yourself at opendata.charlottesville.org/datasets/real-….
