HOME SALES IN STATE ROSE IN SEPTEMBER
Home sales rose 4.3 percent in September across the state, the Virginia
Association of Realtors reported this month. The trade group said its members
wrote sales contracts for 5,285 houses, up from 5,069 in September 1992. In
the first nine months of this year, the VAR said 50,626 new and existing
houses have been sold in Virginia, up 0.6 percent over 50,344 in the
corresponding period a year ago.
"The confidence that was built throughout our summer of recovery will
hopefully encourage interest in undecided consumers," said VAR president
Edward E. Pagett.
