Home Sales Rise For The Second Month -- Could It Be A Trend Yet?
Scott P. Rogers
For the second straight month, Harrisonburg and Rockingham County home sales have increased over the same month in 2006.
As highlighted last month, each month from January 2007 until September 2007 showed lower home sales than the corresponding month in 2006. However, in October, this turned around --- with Oct 2007 numbers 23% higher than Oct 2006 numbers.
And --- this just in --- November 2007 sales (at 106 properties) exceed November 2006 sales (at 83 properties) by a weighty 28%.
As stated last month, before we declare this a trend, we'll have to wait and see what happens in December.
