Real estate in Jefferson County, WV in my opinion is normalizing just like the rest of the nation. Buyer's have more time to think before making an offer. In most cases, they can offer a little less than asking price on a home. Buyer's are also able to ask for home inspections, well inspections, septic inspections and wood destroying insect inspections. Homes are selling and prices are stabilizing. If you sat out during the last two years of multiple offers and unable to obtain a home, now would be a great time to buy.
