Home sales across the nation were down in January. Vestavia was no exception. In January, Vestavia saw 15 homes sell - down from 24 in December. Part of this is seasonal and part is based on the rough economic news. Three sales were in Liberty Park. The average salesprice was $306,384 with prices ranging from $93,500 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo in Montreat to $545,000 for a 6BR 4 BA home in Cross Ridge.  The average days on market for sold properties was 88.  Currently there are 412 properties on the market in Vestavia which represents a 27.46 month supply.  If we look at properties in Pending Sale though, we see 17 homes have contracts on them - 14 contracts were written in January, so sales in February should increase from this January low. March typically sees an increase in buying...

Home sales across the nation were down in October. Vestavia was no exception. In October Vestavia saw 25 home sell which was the lowest number since November of ‘07. Part of this is seasonal and part is based on the rough economic news (let's face it you couldn't hear anything on TV, radio, or internet that wasn't doom and gloom)! Two of the 15 home sales were in Liberty Park. The average salesprice was $318,665 with prices ranging from $87,000 for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo in Montreat to $1.8 million for an estate overlooking the golf course in the Old Overton section of Liberty Park.  The average days on market for sold properties was 106.  Currently there are 439 properties on the market in Vestavia which represents a 17 month supply. Since the election, activity has picked up. Are Y...

Of course I'm biased, but I always thought I lived in a great neighborhood.  It was confirmed today!  A house that's been vacant for a while went on the market and the showings were non-stop!  A neighbor asked me if they only wanted $1 for the house judging by the constant influx of people! The house is a bank owned property that was foreclosed on, and now it's on the market again.  It was listed about 8 months ago for 100k more than it is now, so the price brought people fast and furious.  It needs a lot of work, and still may be overpriced, but I know it has at least one offer already!  Good for those of us in the neighborhood who take care of our homes.....even though we may never sell!
