Buying new construction can be exciting, but I always remind buyers that there are a lot more decisions involved than simply choosing a floor plan.

Which lot makes the most sense? Which upgrades are worth the added cost? What can still be customized? And how far along is the home in the construction process?

Timing matters, too. The earlier you are in the construction process, the more opportunities you may have to make certain changes. Once construction is further along, those options can become much more limited.

And one thing I think is especially important to remember: the sales representative at the builder’s office represents the builder.

When I represent you, my job is to look out for your interests, helping you evaluate lots and upgrades, keep track of important deadlines, communicate with the sales office and navigate the process from contract to completion.

If new construction is on your radar, reach out before you head to the sales office! I would be happy to help you understand the process and your options.

After a tough few weeks, the Metro DC housing market finally gave us a little something to work with.

New contract activity across the region was down just 0.9% from this time last year—a significant improvement from the double-digit declines we saw in recent weeks.

Encouraging signs also showed up beneath the headline numbers. Montgomery County was up 4.5%, Prince George’s County climbed 6.5%, and Northern Virginia and Loudoun finished within 2% of last year’s pace.

Homes are taking a little longer to sell overall, with the regional average rising from 46.3 to 50.5 days on market. But conditions still vary considerably by location and price point.

And perhaps the most interesting number of the week?

Through September 5, the region recorded 38,000 new contracts in 2025.

This year: 37,996.

After nearly 38,000 contracts, we’re behind last year by just FOUR.

That might be the best way to describe the 2026 market so far: not booming, not collapsing, just remarkably steady underneath a lot of week-to-week volatility.

For sellers, pricing correctly from the start still matters. For buyers, longer market times may create more breathing room and negotiating leverage.
