By Scott Rogers • March 13, 2013
My most recent Harrisonburg & Rockingham County Real Estate Market Report has just been published (download it as a PDF here), and there is plenty of good news to be excited about.... As shown above, home sales increased dramatically in February 2013 to 66 sales for the month. This marks a 43% increase over February 2012, and is the highest month of February home sales in several years. As shown above, there are plenty of positive indicators in this month's market report.... February home sales increased 43%. YTD home sales have increased 33% in 2013. YTD median prices have increased 2.5% in 2013. YTD median days on market has declined 5% in 2013. This surge in home sales is not over yet --- with a 16% increase in February contracts (shown above) we are likely to continue to see increase in home sales in the coming months. ALSO -- buyers are in the market NOW -- if you want to sell your house this spring or summer, we need to start talking soon.
