Greater Richmond Real Estate Market Snapshot – July ‘08
Sorry for my lack of posts lately. Been busy. Yeah, Brick, been busy playing golf, right? No, actually I went 32 striaght days with no golf and I am lucky to squeeze in one round a week now. Been working with lots of buyers. You have to show them more, but they will buy.
The market is very stable presently. We still have way too much inventory, but the number of sales this month is almost the exact number as last month. Here’s the breakdown for various areas around town. As I have mentioned before, if you’d like a particular area covered on a monthly basis, just let me know.
