Last week’s market slowdown appears to have been more about timing than demand. After a holiday weekend and less-than-ideal weather, activity across the region returned to a more familiar pattern.
📈 Total contract activity was essentially flat year-over-year, increasing just 0.8% across the region (1,133 → 1,142 contracts).
Five of six major jurisdictions posted gains or remained steady, suggesting buyers are still active — just moving at a more measured pace.
A few takeaways from this week:
• Prince William County led regional growth at +9.4%
• Loudoun and Northern Virginia posted modest gains
• Washington, DC was the only market with a notable decline
• Average days on market remained relatively stable at 37.4 days
The takeaway? Normal is back.
The market isn’t surging, but it isn’t slowing dramatically either — we continue to see steady, sustainable activity across much of the region.
