Mary Dionisio/Roberge Brixius, Realtor Top Realtor in Northern Virginia and Maryland for 20 years enhanced by a 12-year law firm career. Every one of my clients is a priority.

I entered into the corporate profession of real estate long before becoming a Realtor in 2003 - with a strong desire to help others navigate the complicated processes of buying or selling a home after 12 years of real estate law firm work. I realize that, for many, a home is often the most expensive purchase one will make in life. I am empathetic as to the stresses that go into preparing a residen

ce for sale, so I work very hard to minimize the difficulties inherent within the process. My unique staging and home preparation background not only benefits all of my clients, but it is a part of my top-notch services that most cannot mirror or offer without additional compensation to their client. I have a strong, experienced team that my clients can rely on and trust. Because I have been a Realtor in agency now for 21 years, it’s my overall experience in real estate of 33 years that has guided me in fulfilling my clients’ expectations . . . many shared that I exceeded them, and this remains my goal. While assisting my clients, each step of the way during their home sale or purchase, I ensure that negotiations are sound and straightforward. I am committed to a seamless transaction - honesty, integrity and professionalism are of the utmost importance to me and have been throughout my career. My record of successful home sales, numerous awards, accreditations and some of the highest % to list statistics in the region, are not what I reflect back on . . . it is the client's referral of me and knowing what their level of satisfaction was after my guidance. A strong, inherent suit of mine is how I assist my clients in preparing their home for sale (with my team, if needed) and in providing crucial advice and my personal staging tips. Staying educated on the market trends and the wants of the current buying pools have proven to benefit my clients. My services and guidance are a part of my extensive listing services AND at no additional charge. Clients are able to present their home proudly, and I sell it successfully for them using my areas of expertise in extensive marketing well beyond the industry standards. It is I who then takes great pride in seeing my client’s satisfaction after the sale has closed – and they have moved on with their next life’s plan. I am a long-term professional who embodies a background in real estate that is as strong as it is unique. Whatever aspect of the sale or buying process you may need guidance on, you can reach out to me.

A Really Weird Week

Contract activity for the week of September 1 -7 , 2024 in the Metro DC area fell by 10.3% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:

We fully expected a drop because this seven-day period covered the entire Labor Day Weekend, while the week last year did not.

But the results are weird because three of the six area we track actually posted increases, and one was unchanged.

The overall loss was entirely due to a big drop in Northern Virginia – down 32.8% and a more modest drop in Washington, DC – down 14.2%.

Why it Matters:

One week doesn’t make a trend, so the drop really isn’t a concern.

Year-to-date activity is up a modest 1.8%, and all eyes are on the Fed to see what they do at their September meeting in a couple of weeks.

Contract activity in the Metro DC area during the week of July 28 – August 3, 2024, fell by 8.8% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:
• The market is static, sluggish, idle, and stuck in Neutral. It’s not bad, but it’s not robust either.
• The modest drop in mortgage rates last week wasn’t enough to spur the market forward, as contract activity looks much like last year. Two of the six jurisdictions (Loudoun and Prince William Counties) posted increases, but the other four were down.

Why it Matters:
• Year-to-date, five of the six jurisdictions are virtually unchanged. Contract activity in Montgomery County is up 2.6%, while Northern Virginia, Loudoun, Prince William, and Prince George’s County are down between 0.5% and 2.4%. Flat.
• Washington, DC, continues its struggles, with contract activity falling 15.2% this year.

If there's one thing we all know by now about summer in the D.C. area, it's both swelteringly hot and humid. ☀️

Fortunately, the greater DMV area is close to various beaches, lakes, and rivers, which are ideal for cooling off! Check out these top picks for a quick day trip—or weekend getaway.

07/29/2024

Contract activity for the week of July 21 – 27, 2024, in the Metro DC area fell by 5.2% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:
· The 26.3% drop in the number of newly ratified contracts in Washington, DC was almost entirely responsible for the overall drop in the DC metro area.
· The other five jurisdictions were pretty flat. Three posted modest gains (Prince George’s County, Prince William County, and Loudoun County), and two posted modest losses (Northern Virginia and Montgomery County).

Why it Matters:
· Washington, DC is the outlier – year-to-date contract activity is down 15%, while the other five areas are almost unchanged from last year.
· It’s almost as if the market has hit the “pause” button, perhaps waiting for the Fed to make a move on interest rates.

Summertime is the perfect time to catch up on home maintenance! Whether you own your home or are renting, take an overview of the systems in your home – big and small – to ensure you live in a house that is sound, energy-efficient, and healthy for everyone.

Your home is one of your most significant investments—whether you own and pay a mortgage or rent—and a little TLC goes a long way. Here are a few of our best suggestions for keeping your home maintenance on track this summer!

07/22/2024

Contract activity for the week of July 14 – 20, 2024 in the Metro DC area rose by 0.8% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:
• The gains in Montgomery County (up 24%) and Northern Virginia (up 2.3%) were enough to offset modest losses in the other four jurisdictions we track.
• The modest drop in the 30-year mortgage interest rate last week helped a bit, while the continuing scorching heat kept many people from looking at houses.

Why it Matters:
• The real estate market in the Washington, DC metro area is OK – just OK. It’s been a lot worse before, like during the Great Recession, and it’s been a lot better, like when interest rates were below 3%.
• The reality is that there is less activity from buyers and sellers alike than in the several years before the onset of COVID. We have a long way to go before returning to “normal.”

07/15/2024

Contract activity in the Metro DC area during the week of July 7 – 13, 2024, fell by 16.5% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:
· Only Prince George’s County posted an increase in contract activity last week. The other five areas had pretty big drops.
· This fairly dismal performance follows a very positive period just the week before. Contracts for the week of June 30 – July 6 were up 11.3%. We suspect both results were skewed by the impact of the 4th of July holiday period. If we look at the total activity of the last two weeks combined, the number of newly ratified contracts is flat.

Why it Matters:
· Persistently high mortgage rates are suppressing contract activity, especially for homes in price ranges that would be most attractive to first-time purchasers.
· In every jurisdiction, activity for homes priced under $750,000 has suffered compared to homes priced over that benchmark. Year-to-date, the number of homes going under contract for less than $750K is down 7%, while it’s up almost 10% for more expensive homes.

07/08/2024

Contract activity for the week of June 30 – July 6, 2024, in the Metro DC area rose by 11.3% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:
· Five of the six jurisdictions posted increases in newly ratified contracts. Only Washington, DC, had a drop.
· While this is an excellent kick-off for the back half of 2024, it is likely that these numbers are somewhat skewed by the timing of the 4th of July. Last year, the 4th was on a Tuesday, so the holiday "weekend" really started on Friday, June 30. That almost certainly accounted for lower buyer activity. But an increase is an increase, and we'll take that anytime!

Why it Matters:
· The positive performance last week brings year-to-date contract activity to just 1.5% lower than the equivalent period last year. Northern Virginia and Montgomery County are actually slightly ahead of last year's pace.
· We've seen an increase in inventory, as more listings are coming on the market compared to last year, which may provide some welcome relief to purchasers who have been faced with few choices for an extended period. The next few weeks should tell us a great deal about what the second-half market will look like.

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

07/01/2024

Contract activity for the week of June 23 - 29, 2024 in the Metro DC area fell by 3.0% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:
• Last week, the weather was hotter than the market. In two of the six jurisdictions, we track posted increases in contract activity.
• After a great previous week, Washington, DC, reverted to the pattern we have seen much of the second quarter, down 32% from this time last year.

Why it Matters:
• With interest rates continuing to hover near 7%, demand for entry-level homes remains negatively impacted, while the market for more expensive homes can better withstand the rate-inflicted pain.
• Through the first half of the year, contract activity for homes priced under $750,000 has been down 7.0%, while activity above $750,000 has been up 10.1%.

06/24/2024

Contract activity in the Metro DC area during the week of June 16 - 22, 2024, rose by 9.7% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:
• Five of the six jurisdictions we track posted increases in contract activity – and for the first time in a long time, Washington, DC, saw a weekly increase in contracts.
• Prince George’s County was the only area with a drop-down of 6.7%
• However, there was a modest drop in contracts from just one week ago, down 3.5%.

Why it Matters:
• In the first half of 2024, we saw a total solar eclipse, parts falling off airplanes in flight, Taylor Swift’s record-setting Eras Tour, record-setting heat, and way too high mortgage interest rates. Despite it all, the DC metro area real estate market remained almost unchanged.
• At least that’s true regarding contract activity, with the number of contracts year-to-date down 1.9%. However, home prices keep rising despite sluggish contract activity due to the lack of inventory.
