Lots Of Home Buyers Are Still Competing For New Listings


Lots Of Home Buyers Are Still Competing For New Listings
By Scott Rogers • February 28, 2022
For many new listings, the competition is still quite fierce in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. Here are three recent examples I've been involved with or heard of in the past 10 days... [1] A townhouse in the City of Harrisonburg under $200K received 12 offers within three days. [2] A duplex in the County in the $300K's received 7 offers within three days. [3] A detached home in the City of Harrisonburg in the $300K's received 16 offers within four days. Wow! Now, this won't be the case for every new listing, in every price range, in every location... there are more buyers in some price ranges and for some locations than others. This also won't hold true independent of how a seller prices their home. A home that ends up selling for $200K will likely have a different number of offers based on whether they priced the property at $195K, $199K, $205K or $225K. But... yes... the market is still quite active, with plenty of buyers ready to buy, and many (to most) new listings being scooped up quite quickly. If you're getting ready to sell this spring, we should talk sooner rather than later about timing, preparations, pricing and more.
