Who Owns Harrisonburg? |
|
Of the almost 15,000 pieces of real property in Harrisonburg --- who owns them? Mostly people who live in Harrisonburg? Or not? Mostly people living in Virginia? Or not? Record your guesses, and read on.... ![]() Per the data I'm working with (Sept '09), I find the following to be true, as pictured in the graphic above:

Why Are Home Values Remaining Stable In Harrisonburg and Rockingham County? |
|
In most areas of Virginia and the United States, home values have fallen quite dramatically over the past two years. Why, in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, haven't we seen a similar decline? This video explores the reasons why I believe we haven't seen a decline in home values, primarily because of stubborn sellers, the non-effect of foreclosures, and because home prices didn't increase as much here as they did in other areas.

So, what do we do, just wait? |
|
![]() I was chatting with a client today who asked me this question --- "So....what do we do....just wait?" I am marketing this person's property for sale, but their segment of the market is particularly slow right now, and we haven't had much solid interest in their property in quite a few months. So....what DO we do? Many homeowners today likely feel this frustration --- that there is only so much that can be done in trying to sell their property --- and that at the end, they are just left waiting. Some homeowners, in fact, go months without a single showing of their home. It's easy to be discouraged in times when it seems like all you can do is wait, and while I won't try to cheer you up or encourage you that "it will all be ok", I will offer a few suggestions of things you CAN do if you find yourself just waiting:
And to circle back around to answer the original question more simply, no, we don't "just wait." It is vital to be constantly re-evaluating the pricing and marketing of a property to most aggressively and proactively expose it to potentially interested buyers. Don't get depressed waiting --- get busy brainstorming ways to actively market your property! | |
