This is the second monthly post for various areas that I currently monitor each month for sales activity. If there is a particular submarket in the Richmond area, you would like to see covered, please comment on the particular area. If viable (enough monthly sold activity), I’ll include it in next month’s post. These numbers are compiled from Central Virginia Regional Multiple Listing Service. Obviously, sold units only account for those using the services of a Realtor. (Editorial comment - While I have just started to post these results starting with August 2007, I have been tracking these areas monthly since December 2005. September 2007 was the lowest monthly sales activity, since I began monitoring these results. Average sales price, median price, and units sold were all substantially down. Conversely, days on market and dollar per square cost were constant.)
