Though the overall three-year sales trend line continues to be downward, were starting to see the Charlottesville real estatmarket pick up some steam. Overall, February sales were up almost 15% from 2011 (140 vs. 122). In addition to salesbeing up, total inventory levels and Months of Inventory were both down. Weve been saying for while that inventory levelsmust come down before the real estate market can fully recover. Yet while Months of Inventory is down, levels for single
family homes and attached/condos are still in the double digits - thats too high for a full recovery to take place. As forprices: both median and average prices continued to slip downward in just about every category.
Central Virginia / Charlottesville Market Trend: Market-Wide
The City of Charlottesville was the most active segment of the market in February. After a dismal 2011, sales in the City havejumped over the past few months. Total Charlottesville City sales were up 73% (from 15 to 26) and it looks like the sales spikwill continue: contracts written in February were up from 22 to 43 in Charlottesville. Albemarle County contracts written areup also: from 93 to 124. With buyer confidence and sales on the rise, it seems like some positive news in the Charlottesvillereal estate world for a change. Overall, we expect the strong spring market to continue over the next few months.
