Lockboxes To Inventory

Last week I posted on lockbox openings. This week I take that data one step further and overlay those trendlines on the inventory trendlines for nearly three years of info. Quick recap on inventory: below are the inventory trends for the MLS since 1/1/2009. They are the actual number of active listings on the 1st [...]

Lockboxes in Charlottesville – Our Magic 8 Ball

We are diligently working on our Q3 report. But we will not have that ready until early next week. Until then, we thought we would feed you a little teaser to show you what we are up to. All stats in real estate are either about sales or leading to sales. You can track actual [...]

October 2010 Charlottesville Real Estate Update: Shield Your Eyes

Let me first throw out the disclaimer that we are desperately searching for good news in the Charlottesville area real estate market.  At Nest, we’ve earned the reputation of being honest: there’s no sugarcoating in our conversations with clients.  But we’d be lying if we weren’t using our magnifying glasses just a little to see [...]

Along the same lines, stats and trends in our overall local market don’t always translate to smaller sub-categories and market niches.  For example, if you’re selling a $400,000 [...]
