Lot sales (of less than an acre) seeming stable in Harrisonburg, Rockingham County
Scott P. Rogers
It's a tough time to sell a building lot in Harrisonburg or Rockingham County. Before the real estate boom of 2003-2007, roughly 200 lots sold per year. In recent years, only 60 lots have been selling per year. However.....
- After peaking at 408 lot sales in 2004, lot sales took a huge plunge down to recent annual sales levels around 60 lots.
- Median prices also skyrocketed up to $100K, but have settled down in recent years to a median of around $55K.
- Sales are a bit slower than expected thus far in 2012, with only 17 lot sales in the first five months of the year.
