• Homes that sold (closed) averaged 59 days on market, 3 days slower than in May of 2018.
• There is currently a 3.0 month supply of homes (remember, in a balanced market - the demand from buyers equals the supply from sellers - there is a 5-6 months supply) in the Mid Atlantic Region – and 67,332 homes for sale (townhouse, condo and single family).
OVERALL: The Mid-Atlantic Region remains in a Seller’s Market. We saw a slight increase in the average sales price from last month and the number of new listings that came on the market decreased by over 21,000.
We’ve said it before….the trend continues to be the difference between inventory and demand in the upper-end price points (“luxury”) vs the more affordable segments (“starter & trade-up market”).
So, if you are thinking of selling, now may be the time! Demand for your house will be strong at a time when there is very little competition. That could lead to a quick sale for a really good price! So, contact us NOW (703-242-3975) to make sure you are working with an agent that will provide you with the data you need to make good decisions. The reality is that Buyers & Sellers who are successful in today’s market look at the data and act accordingly.
