It's early in the year still... we shall not draw any conclusions yet about whether 2025 will be a busy or not busy year in the local real estate market compared to the last few years... but...

As shown above, only 92 contracts were signed (by buyers and sellers) in January 2025 -- which is the slowest January since 2019.

To be fair, January 2025 was an odd month... we had a lot of snow, and it stuck around much longer than snow usually does in the Harrisonburg area.

So, perhaps we'll see some of the usual January contract activity showing up in February this year instead.

Stay tuned!
