West Springfield Village, Springfield VA Market Report as of 3/31/2009

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executives

West Springfield Village is located on Rolling Road approximately halfway between Old Keene Mill Road and the Fairfax County Parkway. The 426 homes in the subdivision are one of the original Springfield communities built by Richmarr in the period between 1960 and 1980.

It is surprising that only two West Springfield Village homes have sold and settled in the First Quarter of 2009.  However, the net sales price of $408,000 is only 6% below the net sales price for 2009.  Since the Fairfax County net sales price for 2009 is 12% lower than the 2008 results that is good news for West Springfield Village homeowners.

Karen--Not too many houses sold yet in West Springfield in 2009 but looks like the prices are trending upward. That is a good sign...Good report as always!

Karen I am aware your reports on Springfield are an integral part of your market strategy to be current on many facts throughout Fairfax County. The obvious goal is to provide your clients with the very best possible representation and blog posting is an excellent method and may include posts about other interesting locations in our area
