home sales: Last Weeks Sales, Sort Of!
- 04/20/09 03:12 AM
Last week week in Culpeper County it looks like we had 13 homes that closed. I will only report 3 of those at this time as I need to learn a little more about the other ten. Why you ask? They may have been part of a paper sale from one holding company to another. It looks as if the seller of the property sold all 10 of them on the same day through the same agency representing the buyer. Nothing wrong with that but for our purposes each week we would like numbers that impact the general market. Of the … (0 comments)

home sales: Under 400!
- 04/08/09 12:59 AM
When I was reviewing the number of active homes for sale in Culpeper County on Monday the 6th of April, I saw something I had not seen in quite sometime. The number of active listings had dipped below 400. There were 398 to be exact. Over the past few years we have ranged from the high 500's to mid to upper 700's in daily active listings. But as the market softened and the foreclosures rose that number begin to fall. For the past 6-8 months we have been in the 400-500 range of daily active listings. What does dipping below 400 … (0 comments)
