January ’10 Metro Richmond Homes Sales with ‘09 & ‘08 Comparison
I am stumped! I don’t know why January ’10 sales fell short of the January ’09 number. December weather, maybe? Did the snow or maybe just how the holidays fell with Christmas and New Year’s Eve both on Fridays impact sales. We’ll just have to see. Pending sales for January were strong indicating a decent February sales number. And despite the weather, showing activity is robust. Too robust for me considering I have some vacant properties for sale that need to be shoveled in order to show. Anyway, here’s where the sales fell in January on the price scale.
