As August wraps-up we are seeing the summer slowdown in the numbers. The active listings are down (-3.65%) since last month’s report. Meanwhile these listings are averaging 95 days on the market. Up 9 days from July’s numbers.

📑Contracts are down dramatically again (-22.42%) from last month’s report with their days on market little changed since last month’s report (49 days total).

📊Our lagging indicator part of the report, the July sales, when compared with the June sales numbers, volume of sales were down (-10.02%), sold prices were down a little (-2.76%), while days on the market increased to a 37-day average, and sellers’ leverage on their asking prices decreased from the previous month (98.8%).

👉Our take: The traditional slow summer season occurred this past month in large part by consumers hitting the pause button because of inflation concerns and a general "checking out" for vacations. We still have pent up buyer and seller demand, four years running, that we expect to push activity along though at a muted volume until interest rates get markedly better. We also expect buyers to adjust to higher rates as they meet the demands of moving on with their lives.

Why do people love new homes?

Besides they are pretty and stylish, most if not all new homes come with builder warranties. 🏡📄

Good builders who want to stay in business lean into these warranties and make sure you, the buyer, the customer is happy and can recommend them to your friends.💯

Thinking about working with a real estate agent this year?

Not all real estate agents are created equal.

A great agent can save you time, money, and stress, but only if they are the right fit for you. 💯

The Fall Market Is Coming 🍂🏡

Summer may be winding down, but the DMV real estate market is just getting ready to heat back up.

As families settle into new school-year routines, vacations come to an end, and fall approaches, we typically see more buyers re-engage and start making serious moves. For sellers, that means an opportunity to get in front of motivated buyers who are ready to make a move before the holidays.

Whether you have been waiting for the right time to buy, considering selling, or simply wondering what your home could be worth in today’s market, now is the time to start the conversation.

The best moves are rarely made at the last minute. Let me help you make sure you are prepared before the fall market gets into full swing.

📲 Thinking about making a move this fall? Call me today. We can talk strategy and make a plan that is right for you.

A word of caution.⚠️

Homeowners, when you are preparing to go on the market, be careful what you post on social media and say🗣️ to your neighbors.

It’s fascinating but doing these things can make a seller look desperate and can potentially backfire on them. Before you post, run it by your agent. 💯
