January is the start to a new year and brings with it hope for a more stable economy for both the nation and our local Augusta area. January is typically a slower time in the real estate market. The weather can be kind of bad and everyone is recovering from Holiday Spending and are not really thinking about buying a house at that time; however, there are always a few that never follow the trend.
Here are the Augusta Housing Market Stats for January 2011:
