Victory Lakes Townhouse Report: December 2010

By
Real Estate Agent with Long and Foster Real Estate VA License # 0225089470

It is hard to believe that we are nearly one month in to 2011.  Before we forget 2010, let's take a look back to the townhouse resale market in Bristow, Virginia's community of Victory Lakes.  Comparisons will be made to the prior report (November 2010) also referred to as last month.

VICTORY LAKES ACTIVE TOWNHOUSE LISTINGS

10 Active Listings

5 New Construction, 2 Short Sales, 2 Regular Sales

High List Price was $326,990

Low List Price was $259,900

Average List Price was $299,728

New construction continues to dominate the active townhouse listings in Victory Lakes.  There were 3 more listings this month than last month.  The high list price was $3,000 higher this report.  Meanwhile the low list price was over $30,000 lower than the previous month.  Average list price was nearly $11,000 lower this report.  Of course, SOLD prices are always the best indicator of market value since list prices are suggestions.

VICTORY LAKES TOWNHOUSES UNDER CONTRACT

4 Listings were Under Contract

2 New Construction, 2 Short Sales

High List Price at Time of Contract was $316,290

High Marketing Time was 57 Days

Low List Price at Time of Contract was $274,500

Low Marketing time was 32 Days

Average List Price at Time of Contract was $296,465

Average Marketing Time was 43 Days

There was one more listing under contract this month compared to November.  And this time, they were a mixture of Short Sales and New Construction.  The high list price at time of contract was over $31,000 higher this report; high marketing time the same.  Low list price at time of contract was $24,500 higher this report; low marketing time 5 days higher this report.  Average list price at time of contract was over $27,000 higher this report; average marketing time was 1 day shorter this report.

VICTORY LAKES SOLD TOWNHOUSES

1 Listing Sold

A New Construction

High Sold Price was $312,540

High Marketing Time was 29 Dyas

Low Sold Price was $312,540

Low Marketing Time was 29 Days

Average Sold Price was $312,540

Average Marketing Time was 29 Days

Only listing sold this month, compared to 8 selling in November.  So in this case, we'll just compare averages.  The average sold price for December was less than $7,000 lower than the average sold price in November.  That's not a huge decrease, and being based only on one sale, it's not a trend either.  Average marketing time was 16 days shorter since last month.

Didn't you just sell a Victory Lakes townhouse in the past week? Seems Short Sales and New Construction are the dominant market forces over there.

Anne: I sure did.  It'll figure into the sold column for January's report.

Pam:  Yeah...I'm burning the midnight oil.  That's what happens when your day gets horribly off track.
