I was thinking today about my recent sale in the Colonial Place neighborhood. (See blog). What a great house! I hope the buyers are happy there.

I started wondering how things have been going since the late spring when this house went under contract and it closed in mid-summer.

For absorption rate (that is the rate at which the current inventory of homes on the market will sell based on recent sales), I looked at most recent 30 days sales. That was depressing = 8 months of inventory! In other words, it will take 8 months to sell all of the homes on the market in Colonial Place, assuming no new homes are listed for sale. Because we are well into the slow market, I took another look. If you look at most recent 3 months of sales to figure the absorption rate, things look better. That would be about 25 weeks of inventory... Here is a look at the recent (90 days) home sales....

This is a great neighborhood, so if you are considering buying a home in Norfolk Virginia, look at Colonial Place! Great, strong civic league, close to shops and restaurants, easy walking distance to ODU, Close to downtown Norfolk.
