How Many Homes Are For Sale in Blacksburg and Christiansburg?

Leave a reply

As Realtors, we get asked a lot “what’s the market like right now?”. I was in Richmond last week, meeting with Virginia Senators and Delegates from our district, and every single one of them asked “how’s the market?”. It can seem disingenuous to always be saying that the real estate market is moving quickly, but as you can see from the graph below of single family homes south in Blacksburg and Christiansburg, as of this post the market is moving quickly.

The State of the Market – September 2008 (Renamed: A Slow And Steady Approach)
