Below are the number of new listings in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area for April, May and June 2006. As this is my first attempt at this basic analysis, I figured I would start small.
Note: I excluded condos for this dataset. I wrote about them several days ago.
The bulk of the inventory is in the $300k-$500k range – not so good for those seeking “affordable” housing.
What other data would you find interesting and/or valuable? I am going to expand the counties and try to include/exclude new construction data as well.
Hat tip: I took this idea from Noah’s blog (archived: 2013); my goal is to get to Merv’s level of data analysis and presentation (no longer available).
