Back in April 2008, I asked the question of whether high gas costs should affect buyer behavior.  I'm back to report that gas costs indeed seem to be affecting where people are willing to live.

Over the past two weeks, I have had three separate buyer clients who have decided not to pursue a home (or homes) in a particular neighborhood or town because of the distance it would put them from their place of employment.  All three work in Harrisonburg, and have decided to primarily look at properties located in the City.
