February 2008 Hughesville Market Report

February saw increased movement in both the Resale and New Construction Hughesville markets. I spoke to some of the New Construction representatives in the area over the last several weeks. I wanted to get their take on their market. They showed me accounts of increased foot traffic and interest. Some of them have started including lot premiums again and in one case I saw price increases on a couple of their models.

The resale market has seen increased buyer activity as well. Showings are up and I think that can be attributed to pricing on resales coming down in recent months. The pricing appears to be at a level that has sparked buyer interest.

Even with the increased under contracts and traffic, with six new resale listings and eight new construction listings, market absorption appears to have changed little. We'll keep on eye on it as the spring market progresses.

Resales were priced between $264,900-$1,399,000. New Construction was priced between $369,900-$989,900.

Feel free to contact me with questions.

My next race following Charlottesville is the Marine Corps Historic Half in Fredericksburg, VA May 18th. My last marathon on February 16 in Myrtle Beach, SC was very successful, please help me continue the success. While a donation would be fantastic, words of encouragement to those in our Armed Forces are always appreciated!

UPDATE - Charlottesville is a tough run. If you ever are looking for a challenging marathon, Charlottesville is a good one. The course is hilly, the scenery beautiful, the volunteers friendly and the race is well run. I'll never forget the sweet smell of honeysuckle everywhere.

Thank you all for the support!
