Forty one percent of Virginia real estate professionals expect home prices to rise in the coming six months

Last month, HomeGain, one of the first companies to provide free instant home valuations online, released the results of our first quarter 2011 nationwide home values survey of over 750 HomeGain current and former members and 1600 home owners. The survey asked their opinions on home prices and what they thought of President Obama’s performance as President. On this real estate blog we published the 1st quarter 2011 national results as well as the complete 1st quarter 2011 regional results, including commentary from real estate agents and brokers.

Earlier this month we released the  California 1st quarter 2011 home values survey data and the Florida 1st quarter 2011 home values survey data, the 1st quarter 2011 Texas home prices survey data , the 1st quarter 2011 New York home prices survey data, the first quarter 2011 New Jersey home values survey data and the Illinois first quarter 2011 home values survey data.    In the coming days we will be releasing home values survey data from,  Arizona, North Carolina, Colorado, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and other states.
