Albemarle County Farm Sales & Inventory March

Albemarle County VA Farm sales & inventory March 2011

As you can see the sales of Albemarle farms continue to be very slow.  Today April 8, 2011 there are 135 Albemarle farms listed in the Albemarle County real estate market.  At the rate of only 8 farms sold in the first quarter of 2011, it is obvious that activity will need to pick up considerably to sell down the inventory and get us back to a balanced market.  However opportunities abound in the current market for buyers.

The above figures are from the mls and while they are presumed to be correct, they are not guaranteed.
