      <title>Stone Ridge Weekly Update 11/24/2008-12/01/2008 </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INTRODUCTION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;As of December 1, 2008, there are &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999452638&quot;&gt;27 active listings&lt;/a&gt; in MLS and &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999475973&quot;&gt;11 homes&lt;/a&gt; that went under contract in the past 30 days. This gives us a current &lt;a href=&quot;http://stone-ridge-va.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-is-absorption-rate.html&quot;&gt;absorption rate&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;strong&gt;2.5&lt;/strong&gt; which is lower than last week's rate of &lt;strong&gt;2.6&lt;/strong&gt;. Of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999452638&quot;&gt;27 active listings&lt;/a&gt; , 10 are new homes from the builder(5 town homes, and 10 detached homes), 8 are traditional re sales the remainder are &lt;a href=&quot;http://stone-ridge-va.blogspot.com/search/label/distressed%20sale&quot;&gt;distressed sales&lt;/a&gt; which break down as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Short Sale Condos: 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:markmurad71@aol.com&quot;&gt;Contact me&lt;/a&gt; if you would like additional information on any of these Stone Ridge Homes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEW LISTINGS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;According to MLS, there are &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999526293&quot;&gt;1 home &lt;/a&gt;new to the market this week. 1 less than the amount last week. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Condo:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Centex - Trenton Extended, 24689 CLOCK TOWER SQ,LP: $414,669, DOMP: 1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UNDER CONTRACT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;According to MLS, there was &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999554256&quot;&gt;1 home&lt;/a&gt; which went under contract during this period, 3 less than the amount as last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Detached Homes:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Van Metre - Savannah Collection Series, 25021 OWL CREEK DR, LP: $434,900, DOMP: 37 (bank owned)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is 2 fewer &lt;a href=&quot;http://stone-ridge-va.blogspot.com/search/label/distressed%20sale&quot;&gt;distressed sales&lt;/a&gt; going to under contract status this past than in the previous week. The days on the market for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999554256&quot;&gt;1 home&lt;/a&gt; is only&lt;strong&gt; 37 days&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;just over 1 month&lt;/strong&gt;. This&lt;strong&gt; under&lt;/strong&gt; our current &lt;a href=&quot;http://stone-ridge-va.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-is-absorption-rate.html&quot;&gt;absorption rate&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;strong&gt;2.5&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOLD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;According to MLS, there are no homes reported sold this week. Sometimes closings get delayed or the listing agent forgets to update the status in a timely matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SUMMARY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The current inventory level for Stone Ridge decreased by 1 unit to &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999452638&quot;&gt;27 active listings&lt;/a&gt;. With &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999526293&quot;&gt;1 home &lt;/a&gt;new to the market this week, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999554256&quot;&gt;1 home&lt;/a&gt; receiving contracts there must have been a withdrawn or expired home this past week to cause the decrease. This week there were no homes reported sold to mls, being a short week with Thanksgiving I figured for a slow week. The percentage of non traditional sales &lt;strong&gt;decreased&lt;/strong&gt; to &lt;strong&gt;33.3%&lt;/strong&gt; this week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disclaimer: Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. MLS data was used which means For Sale By Owner information may have not been included. All homes entered as comps (e.g. new construction) were removed as well. MLS data is subject to human errors such as agents entering wrong values.

&lt;p&gt;This is the same amount of &lt;a href=&quot;http://south-riding.blogspot.com/search/label/distressed%20sale&quot;&gt;distressed sales&lt;/a&gt; going to under contract status this past than in the previous week. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999151638&quot;&gt;1 home&lt;/a&gt; was on the market for&lt;strong&gt; 7 days&lt;/strong&gt; which is &lt;strong&gt;1 week&lt;/strong&gt; to receive an offer. This below our current &lt;a href=&quot;http://south-riding.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-is-absorption-rate.html&quot;&gt;absorption rate&lt;/a&gt; for South Riding &lt;strong&gt;5.2&lt;/strong&gt;, mentioned in the introduction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOLD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;According to MLS, there were &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999203355&quot;&gt;2 homes&lt;/a&gt; sold and went to record the period of 11/24/2008-12/01/2008. Sometimes closings get delayed or the listing agent forgets to update the status in a timely matter. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Detached Homes:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Address, List Price, Sold Price - Seller Subsidy = Net Sold Price, % of asking price, DOMM/DOMP&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;43312 HAGEN CT, $599,999, $590,000 - $0 = $590,000, 98.3%, 226/226&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;26145 SEALOCK LN, $739,900, $685,000 - $685,000 = $685,000, 92.6%, 166/166&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Average Net %: 95.5%&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Average DOMM / DOMP: 196/196&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SUMMARY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The current inventory level for South Riding &lt;strong&gt;decreased&lt;/strong&gt; this week by &lt;strong&gt;3 units&lt;/strong&gt;, to a total of &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999090926&quot;&gt;57 active listings&lt;/a&gt; a &lt;strong&gt;5% decrease&lt;/strong&gt; in inventory. With &lt;strong&gt;NO NEW&lt;/strong&gt; listings, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999151638&quot;&gt;1 home&lt;/a&gt; receiving contracts this past week causing the decrease, keeping the inventory at one of the lowest amounts since I have begun my &lt;a href=&quot;http://south-riding.blogspot.com/search/label/weekly%20update&quot;&gt;Weekly Updates&lt;/a&gt;. The home receiving a contracts did so in less time than our current &lt;a href=&quot;http://south-riding.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-is-absorption-rate.html&quot;&gt;absorption rate&lt;/a&gt;. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://matrix.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Email.aspx?ID=27999203355&quot;&gt;2 homes&lt;/a&gt; which sold did not contribute any seller paid closing cost and were traditional sales, however their average days on the market is about &lt;strong&gt;6.5&lt;/strong&gt; months which is over our current absorption rate.&lt;/p&gt;
