What does this monthly data mean if you are considering either the purchase or sale of a West End Alexandria house? Don't guess. And make sure your agent is not guessing. Being a real estate professional means assessing market data to advise a client on their options in their particular situation, not an agent who makes generalized guesses about the relevant market segment.

The Northern Virginia real estate market is complex and diverse in property types, price points, inventory levels, buyer activity, and many other factors that influence the outcome of a purchase or sale. The 2025 Market was especially challenging, with buyers taking far longer to decide upon a house as compared to 2024, which meant higher Days on Market and house Inventory level. More options for Buyers, with more competition and time on market for Sellers.

As we begin 2026, the key questions for the Northern Virginia market are as follows:

o   Do Buyers continue to have a longer decision process?

o   Do more Buyers become active due to lower Mortgage Rates (the 30 Conventional Fixed Mortgage Rate at the start of 2026 is near a 3-year low, with a 0.5% decline from mid-Summer 2025)? 

o   With respect to Sellers, do we have more Listings in early 2026 than 2025 as Sellers decide to act after they deferred a Sale during the past 3 years due to higher Rates?
