Harrisonburg Real Estate Market Report - February 2012

Click here to download Market Update charts for February 2012.

We are making some important changes to our market report this month. First, we are adding a new infographic entitled “Months Supply of Inventory”. This graphic will show, by area of the County, how many months supply of homes for sale exist at the current pace of sales. Sales over the past 12 months will be used to calculate the current pace of sales. This graphic will give an easy to read snapshot of the supply vs. demand balance throughout our area. As a rule of thumb, a 4 – 6 month supply is considered a healthy, balanced market. You will see on the graphic that all parts of the County are above that figure, but are also all below 12 months (many areas were above 12 months supply last year), which is a good trend and indicates our market is finally coming into balance.

In addition to adding this new infographic, the data set for one of our two existing infographics has changed. Previously the Average Price graphic was prepared based on year to date information. Beginning with this month’s report we will be using the past 12 month’s data for each graphic. We feel this gives a much more accurate indication of pricing throughout Rockingham County.

Here are the latest changes to average and median sales price throughout the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service:

Three year change: Average Price down -14.30%, Median Price down -14.68%
One year change: Average Price down -7.07%, Median Price down -8.13%

Overall February was a very encouraging month for our market, not so much in terms of closed sales but new purchase contracts and buyer activity in general. Based on the contracts currently in process we feel March will be similar to February in closed sales but beginning in April we will see much stronger sales as the recent buyer activity comes to fruition!

Prone To Less Sediment

03-13-12

This sediment trap may be prone to less sediment. For sure it is prone!

Gas appliances should have a sediment trap.

There are various nicknames for the technique, but we'll go with that one.

The sediment trap is the vertical, downward protrusion under the gas line. It's purpose is to capture sediment or moisture in the gas before it gets into the mechanism to be burned.

OK, this one is on the wrong side of the gas valve, but that was the point of another post!

Sometimes I run into things I have not seen before.

It isn't unusual - I learn new things every day!

Especially from DIYers!

In this case, this is a new home.

Checking the unit in the attic I ran into something I have never seen before.

A sediment trap! This was a completely new style of installation for me!

The problem is, this trap is prone!

Horizontal!

And likely installed by a "professional."

It's not a trap at all, but the end of the line, before the beginning of the big burn.

Does it work? Probably not well, if at all.

This one is about 1 1/2" long.

The trap is supposed to be about 3" or so and downward.

Downward because gravity works. Things fall.

Does this horizontal trap actually trap anything?

I don't know, but suspect not!

There is no choice for me but to point it out on the home inspection report.

And include a photo for any "professional" that will be consulted to evaluate it.

My recommendation: gas lines are not something to be inventive and free thinking with! I would go with tradition and proper technique when installing a gas line. This installation is a bit odd to say the least. And perhaps dangerous.
