Note:
These numbers are based upon information from REIN MLXchange residential search. The total number of homes sold is for both detached and attached residential properties.

* Total homes currently on the market include those properties with the status of New, Active, Reduced, Increased, Extended and Back on Market.

So what do these numbers mean?
Currently in Hampton Roads there is 5 to 8 months of inventory on the market. This time period is the absorption rate—meaning it would take between 5 and 8 months to sell the current inventory if no other homes were put on the market.

This should give you an idea of where the market stands today. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your particular real estate needs, feel free to contact me.
