The Metro DC housing market continues to slow, with new contract activity down nearly 25% compared to the same week last year. All six jurisdictions saw double-digit declines as higher mortgage rates and affordability challenges put additional pressure on buyers.

But here's what's interesting: while fewer homes are going under contract, days on market have increased only slightly. In Loudoun and Prince William counties, homes actually moved faster than they did last year.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?

Sellers: Pricing, presentation, and condition matter more than ever. Buyers are being selective, but well-positioned homes can still attract serious interest.

Buyers: Higher rates may be limiting affordability, but reduced competition could create opportunities to find the right home.

The takeaway? The market is slowing, not stopping. Buyers are taking a more selective approach, but when the right home comes along, they're still ready to act.

📊 Higher rates. Lower activity. But buyers haven’t disappeared.

The Metro DC housing market is clearly slowing. From September 27–October 3, new contract activity across the region fell 24.7% compared with the same week last year, with every jurisdiction posting a double-digit decline.

Mortgage rates above 7% are putting additional pressure on affordability—and fewer buyers are in the market.

But here’s what’s interesting: homes aren’t taking dramatically longer to sell.

While contract activity dropped nearly 25%, the region’s weighted average days on market increased just 5.7%, from 43.9 to 46.3 days. In Loudoun and Prince William, homes actually sold faster than during the same week last year.

What does that tell us?

The buyer pool may be smaller, but the buyers who remain appear serious, selective, and ready to act when the right property comes along.

• For sellers: Pricing, condition and presentation matter more than ever. There are fewer buyers, so your home needs to give them a compelling reason to choose it.

• For buyers: Higher rates are challenging affordability, but they’re also reducing competition. If the right home comes along and the numbers work, there may be opportunity in today’s market.

The buyers who are still shopping seem to know what they want. And when they find it, they’re still willing to act.

Spooky season is here, and the DMV has plenty of history to go along with it. 👻

From the streets of Georgetown and Old Town Alexandria to historic Frederick, Leesburg, and Harpers Ferry, there are some great ghost tours around the area if you’re looking for something a little different to do this fall.

Some lean more into local history and legends, while others take you through graveyards and reportedly haunted sites after dark.

We rounded up a few worth checking out. Save this one for your fall plans and let us know which tour you’d pick! 🎃
