May 2020 Home Sales

Northern Virginia May 2020 Home Sales:

This pretty much sums up the current state of the market...

Prices are up. New listings are down due to COVID-19. Home sales are down because inventory is low. Buyer demand is extremely high. Interest rates remain historically low. It is a Sellers market in most areas.

Check out the details below...

• 3766 homes went under contract in the region. This is down (17.2%) from the same time period in 2019.

• 60% of the homes that went to settlement in May 2020, sold in 10 days or less from when they hit the market.

• Average sold price was $574,102 (up 3.4% from the same time period in 2019).

• 3930 homes came on the market. That’s down 33.4% from April 2019.

• Homes that sold (closed) averaged 17 days on market, 1 day faster than in May of 2019.

• There is currently a 1.1 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 Northern Virginia – and 3,521 homes for sale (townhouse, condo and single-family).

OVERALL: Northern Virginia remains in a Seller’s Market. The number of homes that went under contract and that came on the market is again significantly lower year-over-year…expected given the current Coronavirus environment. And, the homes that are listed continue to sell quickly and inventory across the area remains low.
