What do the numbers mean to you? How can they be translated to your current needs when buying or selling?
Inventory is rising quickly in the Washington D.C. metro.
At the end of July, there were 10,283 active listings across
the region, which is up 40.1% compared to a year ago. The
inventory of attached homes and condos is now at or
above pre-pandemic levels, but the number of singlefamily detached homes on the market is still very limited.
New listings in July were lower than a year ago; however,
year-to-date new listings in the region are tracking 7.5%
higher than 2024. At the same time, buyers are holding
back. Closed sales were down 2.5% in July, while the
number of new pending sales fell by 3.4%.
The median sold price in the region was $640,000 in July,
up 2.4% compared to a year ago. Stronger sales in the
higher-end of the market is driving the increase in the
median price.
Across the region, housing market activity is strongest in
the District and close-in suburbs, while sales have
dropped off more in the outer suburbs of the region.
