The local read
Roanoke sellers benefit from structural scarcity: limited stock, steady campus-driven demand, and a walkable core no builder can replicate at any price. Pricing discipline still matters — scarcity supports strong pricing, it doesn't excuse fantasy pricing — and presentation should lead with what buyers are actually purchasing: the address, the walk, the minutes to Westlake. Let the location do the talking and the condition remove the objections.
Run the standard plays
