All home sales have not yet been reported but it is seems that we will see around a 2% increase in the pace of home sales in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County between 2017 and 2018. With 1,288 home sales recorded in the MLS thus far for last year, we may see that figure rise a bit more over the next few days, but not by much.

This is a slight increase compared to last year -- though still a slight decline as compared to the high seen in 2016...

• 2014 = 2% increase over 2013
• 2015 = 3% increase over 2014
• 2016 = 17% increase over 2015
• 2017 = 4% decline compared to 2016
• 2018 = 2% increase over 2017
  

Stay tuned for my full market report in the next week or so, as well as predictions for the 2019 housing market.

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
