What is being built and approved
These are the housing projects in Town of Christiansburg records that are under construction, approved, or in review. Each links to its page, with its timeline, the Town Council and Planning Commission votes, and the official documents.
Apartment projects add rentals, not homes for sale, but they change a neighborhood and its traffic just the same. Projects that were denied or withdrawn, and the commercial and road projects, are all on what's coming to Christiansburg.
Where the Town expects growth
Rezonings and conditional use permits in Christiansburg are weighed against the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map, which marks where the Town expects homes, businesses and mixed uses. The Town is replacing its 2013 plan with a new one and a new map. Town Council is scheduled to act on it on October 27, 2026. Follow the Comprehensive Plan update.
What Virginia law gives a new home buyer
When you buy a new home from a builder in Virginia, the law adds warranties to the contract even if it never mentions them. A builder warrants that, when you take title or possession, the home and its fixtures are free from structural defects, built in a workmanlike manner and fit to live in.
- How long they last. One year from the day you take title or possession, whichever comes first. For the foundation, five years. A lawsuit over a breach has to be filed within two years after the breach.
- How a builder can limit them. Only in the contract, in capital letters at least two points larger than the rest of the text, naming each warranty waived. A home sold with every warranty waived must say "as is" the same way. Read for that language before you sign.
- How to make a claim. Send the builder written notice of the problem by certified mail or a delivery service with a receipt, or hand-deliver it and keep a receipt. The builder then has a reasonable time, up to six months, to fix it.
- Condos are different. These warranties do not cover condominium units created under the Virginia Condominium Act.
Budgeting for a new home
Montgomery County's assessments change when something is added to a parcel. A lot assessed as land becomes a lot with a house, so a new home's assessment, and its real estate tax, go up once the house is on the county's books. Ask the Commissioner of the Revenue how the home you are buying is assessed now, and budget from the finished value. The property tax guide has the rates.
Ask the builder or your agent about the homeowners association, its dues and what it maintains, and whether the community is inside town limits, which decides Town taxes and Town water, sewer and trash service.
Questions, answered
Is there a warranty on a new home in Virginia?
Yes. Virginia law implies warranties in every sale of a new home by a builder: free from structural defects, built in a workmanlike manner and fit to live in. They can be waived only in conspicuous capital letters in the contract.
Do Virginia builders give a disclosure statement?
A builder's first sale of a home is exempt from the residential property disclosure statement, but the builder must disclose in writing any known material defect that would violate the building code.
