If we look at the graph we can see from the pending sales that Albemarle County home sales are fairly stable. January closings are down as wood be expected since it is only natural that fewer contracts would have been written during the December holiday season. As I have been talking to other Realtors in my company this week I am hearing reports of increased attendance at open houses and an increase in buyer inquiries. It will be interesting to see if this activity translates into an increase in sales.
The above figures are from the mls and while they are presumed to be correct they are not guaranteed.

I'll take fairly stable prices any day. Good job.
Hi Pam, Nice chart for the Albemarle County VA real estate market report. Love the colors. Looks like sellers in Albemarle want to get their homes on the market early before the spring rush.
