Greater Richmond Market Snapshot - August 2008
Boy, has it been a month since I posted? Sorry, been busy. I feel like I have to sell every home twice these days. I don’t know about other agents, but transactions are coming apart over the smallest, and frankly, the stupidest things. Buyers are definitely driving the bus, but they shouldn’t be driving over the pedestrians on the sidewalks. I’ll soapbox more about this in subsequent posts, but for now here’s the sales activity for August.
