National + Local Real Estate Markets in the News

Posted by   Date  Category Market Trends, News 

The National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales rose 6.5 percent from November 2008 to December 2008. This a rare bit of good news for the national real estate market, which saw a drop in sales prices around 15% in from 2007 to 2008. Read more here.

The local real estate market found its way into a front-page story in the Daily News-Record. The gist of the story is the same as one of our recent blog posts: home prices are stable in the Harrisonburg area. In that post I complained rather pointedly that such positive news does not often get highlighted by the local media. So I was pleased to see this! But I would have liked to see it above the fold. (Am I too demanding?)
