And here are the averages:
Average List Price: $480,413 (up 13.5% from March 2007)
Average Sale Price: $463,063 (up 13.8% from March 2007)
Average Days on Market (DOM): 204.64 (up 21.2% from March 2007)
Sale as % of List Price: 96.4% (down 0.4% from March 2007 - the same basically)
So what this tells us is, although the marketing time has increased about 21% since the same period last year (by roughly 40 days), the list prices and sales prices in Norfolk have increased roughly 14% since the same period last year. Buyers are still paying around 96-97% of the list price. That hasn’t really changed from year to year. So despite the gloom and doom we all hear on the news and read in the papers, the numbers indicate that March 2008 was a positive step up from March 2007 in Norfolk. Homes are still taking a little longer to sell, but they’re selling for more money.

Radon gas can seep into a home from the soil through dirt crawlspaces, cracks in the foundation and walls, floor drains, pipes and sump pumps. Radon can enter any home, old or new, even those with no visible cracks. Each building is unique, and the ground beneath it is also unique. Two houses side-by-side can have totally different radon levels. The only way to know what the radon levels are inside your home is to measure them.
