Predictions for the 2013 Harrisonburg and Rockingham County Real Estate Market


Predictions for the 2013 Harrisonburg and Rockingham County Real Estate Market
By Scott Rogers • January 1, 2013
Last year at this time I predicted we'd see a 5% to 10% increase in single family home sales in 2012. "So, now for predictions for 2012. It's actually a bit more difficult this year. After an 11% increase in single family home sales during 2011 --- it's hard to be conservative in my estimates. Before seeing these figures, I would have estimated we'd see a 2% to 5% increase in single family home sales in 2012. But given that 2011 showed a whopping 11% increase in sales pace, I think I'll have to predict that we'll see a 5% to 10% increase in 2012. That would put us somewhere between 649 and 680 sales in 2012 -- which is on pace with 2008." It turns out my first instincts (2% - 5%) were more accurate. Here's how the market performed in 2012 based on data through 1/1/2013 (a few more sales could trickle in).... So, now for predictions for 2013.... After a 2% increase in single family homes between 2011 and 2013, I am going to predict somewhere between a 2% and 5% increase in single family home sales in 2013. This would result in somewhere between 647 and 666 home sales during 2013. Despite only a 2% increase in single family homes during 2012, overall it was a great year for our local housing market!
