November 2025 Housing Market Report
Prepared by Bright Research
Key Market Statistics
Housing Market Trends
The Washington D.C. area housing market was sluggish in November. Even as rates fell to a 13-month low, economic uncertainty continues to hold back buyers and sellers in the D.C. region. Closed sales were down 6.4% year-over-year. Loudoun County was the bright spot in the region, with closed sales up by 8.7%.
Sellers in the region are also cautious. The number of new listings coming onto the market in November was 5.5% lower than in November 2024.
Despite slower listing activity, inventory continues to climb as homes stay on the market longer. At the end of November, there was a total of 9,142 active listings across the Washington D.C. region, a 33.7% increase over a year ago. The median days on market was 22, which was nine days slower than last year.
There is significant local variation across the D.C. region, with stronger market conditions in the Northern Virginia suburbs and weaker activity in the District of Columbia and Maryland suburbs.
Data as of December 4, 2025
Through November, sales in the Washington D.C. region area are tracking 0.8% below last year. With new pending sales down by 4.8% in November, expect that 2025 will end the year with fewer sales than in 2024. Federal government spending cuts and layoffs, along with the prolonged shutdown, have created uncertainty that will continue into 2026.
