There Are A Limited Number Of Available Building Lots For Custom Homes In Our Area
By Scott Rogers • January 17, 2024
Just an observation here, but there are currently a very limited number of options for buying a building lot, hiring a home builder and building a custom home. Furthermore, I don't know if that will change much over the next few years. There are (27) building lots on the market (per the HRAR MLS) in or near Harrisonburg -- with a "Harrisonburg" or "Rockingham" address. Of those 27 building lots... 7 are in Crossroads Farm, 9 are in The Springs at Osceola,and the other 11 are scattered around here and there. In the time I have been in real estate (20 years or so) there have been quite a few single family home neighborhoods where future homeowners (or builders) could purchase a building lot to build a home. These included: Barrington Belmont Estates Crossroads Farm Highland Park Kentshire Estates Lakewood Estates Meadowbrook Monte Vista Estates The Crossing Now, there aren't any (or many) undeveloped building lots in these neighborhoods... and I don't know what the next neighborhoods will be to go on this list. Most current new developments or proposed developments seem to be one of three varieties... [1] Apartments [2] Townhouses [3] Detached Homes all to be built by a regional or national builder So, when will we (will we?) see other neighborhoods planned and developed where building lots can be purchased where a builder can be hired to build you a home?
