Today September 6, 2009 there are 280 Fluvanna County VA homes for sale.  These homes are listed for an average of $303,759 with a median of $200,750.  They have been on the market for an average of 154 days so far.

To get an overall picture of what is happening in the Fluvanna Real Estate Market we should also look at the year to date stats as compared with last year.  Between 1/1/2008 - 9/1/2008, 225 homes sold in Fluvanna County VA; however during the same time frame this year only 160 Fluvanna County homes were sold.  This represents a decline in sales of -28.9%.

As you can see sales activity in Fluvanna continues to be flat.  At the current rate of sales there is 12.4 months of inventory on the Fluvanna County real estate market.  We have a ways to go before we reach a balanced market which is considered to be a 6 months inventory.  Hopefully we will see a strong September as first time homebuyers do not have much time left in which to take advantage of the $8,000 Tax Credit which expires on November 30.  It is important to remember that the contract on a home must close by the Nov. 30 date.  In order to allow enough time for closing it is necessary to have the home under contract by the end of September.  It is currently taking about 45-60 days to get a contract through to closing. 

Figures are from the mls and while they are presumed correct are not guaranteed.
