Housing Market Trends
Market Outlook
High-intent buyers still active in the Washington DC metro area but discretionary buyers hold back. In July, overall home tours across the DC area were down even as listings were on the rise, suggesting a pullback of casual home shoppers in the region.
The resilient Washington DC area housing market has been fueled by active high-end buyers who are less rate and price sensitive. More moderate-income and first-time buyers are feeling the pinch from rising mortgage rates and economic uncertainty. Rates could rise further as we head into the fall, with slower-than-expected sales activity in the third quarter.
A total of 5,085 new listings came onto the market in July, which was a 3.3% increase compared to a year ago. At the end of the month, there were 11,431 active listings, an 11.2% gain and the highest inventory level since 2019.
Weekly Avg. Mortgage Rate 30-yr fixed rate 7% 6%
Despite more options, showing activity in the DC region fell by 4.7% in July, and the number of new pending sales was 4.2% lower than last year. The higher-end market continues to outperform the overall market, which has led to upward pressure on the median price. In July, the median sold price was $650,000, an increase of 1.6% year-over-year.
