I have just released my September 2013 monthly market report covering the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County housing market.  If you remember nothing else, remember this....

• Homes Sales are UP (+22%)
• Home Prices are UP (+2%)
• Days On Market is DOWN (-16%)
• Contracts are UP (+17%)
• Inventory Levels are DOWN (-3%)

As can be seen above, April through August homes sales this year have been head and shoulders above last year --- contributing to an overall 22% increase in the pace of home sales.



Buyer activity is much stronger this year (772 contracts in the past 7 months) as compared to last year (648 contracts in the same 7 months).



The recovery in our local housing market is not happening equally across all price ranges.  The lowest two price ranges ($0 - $200K, $200K - $300K) are seeing the most sustained recovery.



In yet another sign of recovery, the average list to sales price ratio is improving -- sellers (on average) are negotiating less off of their final list price.
