Real Estate Market Trends

If you're like a lot of other consumers, trite slogans and marketing come- ons aren't convincing. Especially when it comes to the most expensive investment you may ever make; numbers are far pithier.


Think about it -- which of these is of more value to you: “Now is the best time to buy or sell a house!” or “Real Estate Market Report for Yourtown, Yourstate?”


Not only is this section of ActiveRain chock full of up-to-date real estate market reports but market statistics and market trends as well. Best of all, they're written in plain English by the experts – those that actually work in these markets on a daily basis.

The Outer Banks housing market is one of the hottest in the country, with unprecedented demand, low inventory, and rising prices. According to the Outer Banks Association of Realtors, 2020 saw a 44% increase in sales volume, reaching $1.47 billion, the highest since 2004. The trend continued in 2021 and 2022, with home values increasing by 48% or more in some areas. The main drivers of this market are buyers from urban areas who can work remotely and want to enjoy the coastal lifestyle, as well as investors who see the potential for rental income. However, this also poses challenges for the local workforce, who struggle to find affordable housing options. The outlook for the Outer Banks housing market is uncertain, as it depends on factors such as interest rates, inventory levels, and t...

Laws Governing Landlord-Tenant Agreements in Virginia It's not uncommon to see landlord-tenant disagreements in Virginia's district courts. From what attorneys have shared, around 60% to 70% of cases that hit the district courts are all about renter issues.
