A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET IN THE WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA

5Q: 1601 5TH STREET NW, WASHINGTON DC | STARTING AT $1,425,000

O

n behalf of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, we are pleased to present this comprehensive market analysis of the Washington metropolitan area for the first quarter of 2015. Despite record-setting cold and precipitation since the first of the year, the real estate market continues to perform well, and sales across the Mid-Atlantic Region increased approximately 19% versus the first quarter last year.

Sales activity in Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Montgomery County increased across the board, and listing inventory increased in all three jurisdictions, offering prospective buyers a greater range of choices. As we witnessed in 2014, those markets in close proximity to good transportation infrastructure and job centers continue to outperform other markets.

Northern Virginia led the region in the first quarter with sales increasing 16% versus the first quarter of last year, and submarkets which struggled in 2014 appear to be gaining significant momentum. Great Falls, Virginia, as an example, achieved a year over year increase in sales of approximately 60% in the first quarter of 2015 versus the same period last year. Further distance from sequestration and federal budget cuts of 2013 appears to be giving many buyers in the region’s suburbs greater confidence to step back into the market. The key indicator of that renewed strength will be 2nd Quarter results which historically provide an important gauge of market activity for the entire year.

TTR Sotheby’s International Realty continues to outperform other major brokerage firms and achieve record-setting sales, including the highest private sale in the region so far this year of an important residence for $15.75 m. Commensurate with that growth, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty is further strengthening its commitment to leadership in the communities where we work and live. In the month of April, we are proud to serve as the lead sponsor of the Georgetown House Tour which supports St. John’s Church and its programs to assist at-risk families. In May, we continue our passionate support of Life With Cancer at the annual Lobster Extravanganza, and we kick-off our series of exhibitions supporting the local arts community in partnership with the historic Athenaeum in Old Town Alexandria. As important as our financial support, we are weekly front and center among the volunteers, hosts and workers lending a hand wherever we can.

Finally, as Washington becomes increasingly connected to worldwide markets, strong global connections are more important than ever. With unrivaled access to the Sotheby’s International Realty global network of 700 offices in 53 countries, we are well positioned to answer questions and introduce you to an expert in virtually any market in the United States and around the world.

Thank you again for the trust you continue to place in us. We hope the Spring season brings great happiness to you and your family, and we look forward to seeing you in the community in the months ahead.
