I was all set to throw several charts up after the fold, but when I started checking the data in our new beta software, it wasn’t right. Darn it.
So … the Crozet real estate market right now boils down to this:
– New construction in Crozet is doing quite well.
– Existing homes are competing with new construction, buyers can be, and are being choosy and are often choosing new construction.
– If you’re looking to sell our home in Crozet: Price.It. Well. My advice since 2008 remains true:
– Advice for buyers – do your due diligence, be patient, save your money in the meantime.?
– For Sellers – as I said last year – do not attempt to chase the market down. Beat it down. (ask me for advice)
Briefly:
– Homes under contract are about the same as last year at this time.
– New listings coming on the market are down markedly; this is very good – the fewer homes on the market, the better chance for existing inventory to be sold.
– Sold homes are up slightly.
