Monthly Market Report
   Featured Home:  2000 Marigold Circle, Harrisonburg, VA

I just published my monthly report on the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County real estate market -- and there is plenty to be excited about this Fall, though a few cautionary notes as well.  Click here to download the 28 page PDF or read on for some highlights.

Strong Sales in 2013

First, how exciting --- as shown above, the first 10 months of sales in 2013 have already matched the total number of home sales in 2012!

Monthly Home Sales

As shown above, October 2013 was the 10th month in a row (every month in 2013) when home sales exceeded the same month during the previous year.  This steady increase has lead to the 21% YTD improvement in the pace of home sales.

Decline in Contracts

One less than exciting note in this month's report is the decline (-22%) in contracts being signed by buyers during October 2013.  This decline will likely result in lower home sales (closings) in November --- and may have partially been the result of the partial government shutdown in October.

An Important Caveat:  Yes, our overall housing market is improving.  But no, that does not apply equally to all price ranges, locations and property types. We can chat about your specific property to see whether that segment of the market is performing better or worse than the overall market.
