To further compare we will examine the figures from last year.

The last group of figures that we will look at are those for the year to date.
In the period from January 1 - December 1 in 2007, 191 condos and townhomes sold in Albemarle County. In the same time frame this year 161 Albemarle condos and townhomes sold. This represents a decline of -15.7%.
As you can see from these figures, home sales continue to remain low. There is a lot of inventory listed and homes are staying on the market for a long time. This translates into the perfect time to buy. The selection is large, interest rates are low, prices are down, and many sellers are ready to negotiate. You may just find your dream home at an exceptional price.
For sellers the picture is not so rosy. With all of the competition, your home will need to be in excellent condition and most importantly must be priced agressively. In addition with 85% of home buyers beginning their search online it is necessary to hire a Realtor who has a strong internet presence.
The figures are from the mls and while they are deemed correct, they are not guaranteed.
