graph of Albemarle home sales

From 1/1/2009-4/30/2009, 134 Albemarle County homes sold.  During the same time frame in 2010, 158 Albemarle County homes sold.  This represents a 17.91% increase in sales this year.

We are seeing an upswing in sales this spring in the Albemarle County real estate market; however when we look at the graph it is evident that the sales are in no way keeping with the new homes that are coming on the market.  Our market is improving, but it will be interesting to see if we can keep improving with the end of the $8000 tax credit.

The above figures are from the mls and while they are presumed correct they are not guaranteed.

Pam, I was wondering what your figures are like in your farm market?Our market here in Ocala FL has been effected over the past two years. We are beginning to see some short sale and foreclosure activity that did not previously exist. Our farm prices have fallen but not to the level of our SF homes. Right now our land values are at 2002 prices.  Always interested in seeing other equine market values!!

Sanna - We are not seeing the foreclosures in the farm market.  At the same time the farms have not been selling well either.  It has just been in the past few months that I have begun getting calls about farms again.

Karen - The Albemarle County market has improved over last year.
