Graph of Greene County home sales

Today, 10/18/2009, there are 161 Greene County VA homes for sale.  They are listed for an average of $352,542 and a median of $279,000.  The homes have been on the market for an average of 142 days so far.

During the time frame of 1/1/2009-10/2/2009, 132 Greene County homes sold.  This represents a decline in sales in the Greene County real estate market of -7.0% as compared with the same period in 2008.

As you can see from the graph Greene County home sales have been holding fairly steady for the past three months.  However the sales price has declined steadily over the past three months.  Whether this represents an actual decline in home values or merely the fact that consumers are more comfortable buying in a lower price range is something that will take more time to determine as we watch the figures through the next several months.  At the September rate of sales we have 9.79 months of inventory listed for sale on the Greene County real estate market.  Since a balanced market is 6 months of inventory, you can see that we remain in a buyers market.

Looks like a healthy enough market, I'm sure your numbers are down from 2 yers ago, like the rest of us.

I read Adam's blog, NEW GROUP - Market Reports about the new group, Market Reports - and it makes perfect sense to me that we leave comments for one another, to help with promoting each others market reports in the search engines.

John - Greene County is doing better than some parts of my market.  This is partly due to a corporate relocation of NGIC and DIA employees that are coming into the area.
