Seems like, for years now, people continue to demand “sell house fast.” It’s true that, as I write this a few days before Christmas 2016, inventory is down, as it is every year. For instance, if you were looking for a single-family home between $250,000 and $300,000 in Christiansburg right now, you’d have twenty six homes to choose from. In Blacksburg, that number would drop to eleven. This makes sense, of course, as in the last six weeks of the year there are three major holidays, and lots of traveling, but for a buyer who’s ready to buy NOW, it can be frustrating. A good start would be with the Ammons Pittman company, visit company website here to see what property management you may need. People can also get frustrated trying to sell, these people can go to Rent My Holiday Home so they can advertise their place and help others find a great place to stay during the holidays.

Following are the sales and inventory figures in Christiansburg for the first six months of 2010:
