Charlottesville isn't a very big housing market, but it's a pretty strong one. Home to the University of Virginia, the region has benefited from some strong household growth in recent years. It continues to attract second-home buyers from Washington, D.C. 

Bargains are tough to come by in Charlottesville, where the median home price in August stood just below $300,000, according to local real estate agent reports. Though prices are down so far this year, Moody's expects them to rise 1% next year. 

The region has had some strong household growth in recent years, a trend expected to continue through 2012. It will also benefit from strong growth in median income--3.7%.
