Very Few Building Lots Are Available For Sale For Custom Homes In Our Area

New Homes
A year ago, I noted that there were only (28) building lots on the market in the HRAR MLS with a Harrisonburg or Rockingham address.

Now, there are just (18) such building lots available for sale, including...
  • (5) in Crossroads Farm
  • (5) in Willow Ridge
  • (1) in Magnolia Ridge
  • (1) in Lake Pointe
  • (6) others scattered here and there
Now, certainly, if we broaden the geographic area, we'll find some other options, such as...
  • (38) in McGaheysville / Massanutten
  • (9) in Elkton
  • (7) in Broadway
But if you are hoping to build a home in or close to Harrisonburg, there are very few options available right now.

Furthermore, most current or proposed new developments in our area do not offer building lots for sale.  

Most current and proposed developments primarily include...
  • Apartments
  • Townhouses
  • Detached Homes all to be built by a regional or national builder
So, when will we (will we?) see other neighborhoods planned and developed where building lots can be purchased where a builder can be hired to build you a home?
