Real Estate Market Overview


Jefferson County, WV is holding their own. New construction in Jefferson is helping to boost sales/contracts. I also believe that West Virginia is seeing a strong second home buyer's market. Families living in the DC/MD metropolitan area are wanting a vacation home that is not more than 3 hours away. West Virginia is convenient and Wild & Wonderful!


In conclusion, we are seeing homes staying on the market for a longer period of time. Buyers have more time to think about purchasing which they haven't had in the last year and a half. We are also seeing homes that are priced right and are a 10 out of 10, selling fast and still receiving multiple offers. Low Inventory is still a problem. If you are thinking about listing, now is the time!
