I recently read this article entitled "The Secret to Avoiding a Bad Investment in the Current Real Estate Market." To summarize, this article describes where to buy the best real estate and what to look for in a great investment property.
Places like California, Florida, and Arizona were building new homes at an extremely rapid pace a few years ago, and prices skyrocketed at the same pace. Now those markets are going through some tough times.
However, the Virginia real estate market did not experience that same rapid growth. Growth, yes, but not at such a rapid pace that we could not keep up. Now, the Virginia market, and Shenandoah Valley and Harrisonburg real estate in particular, is healthy, and growing stronger every day. Call us to find investment property in the Harrisonburg area!

When moving to a new area, it is sometimes difficult for folks to get "plugged in." Finding a home is key, but there are other things to consider as well, like finding a job, finding the right neighborhood to live in, finding schools for your children, and of course, finding entertainment, shopping, and restaurants to suit your lifestyle!
My real estate team, The Harrisonburg Homes Team, specializes in relocation services for our clients. We have spent a lot of time putting together a quality guide for those relocating to the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County area. You can read the online guide here.
Harrisonburg real estate is in recovery mode. In 2005, the local real estate market, like many other markets across the nation, was booming. Homes literally sat on the market for a day before going under contract! Since then, the Harrisonburg real estate market has gone into "recession" and is now recovering. Sometime in the (hopefully) not so distant future, this market will be booming again...
So if you are relocating to this area, call our team. We'd love to help you find the perfect home in the perfect location for you. And if you've already moved here, welcome to Harrisonburg!

Harrisonburg real estate and Rockingham County real estate isn’t as bleak as the economy may suggest! Check out a recent story from WHSV (Harrisonburg's local TV station) regarding this very subject.
Many sellers are still lowering prices on their homes to get them sold, and often are willing to negotiate with buyers. Home buyers are often able to get more “bang for their buck” because of the housing prices and lower mortgage rates. We can’t say it enough these days… Now is the time to buy!
