Real Estate Market Trends

If you're like a lot of other consumers, trite slogans and marketing come- ons aren't convincing. Especially when it comes to the most expensive investment you may ever make; numbers are far pithier.


Think about it -- which of these is of more value to you: “Now is the best time to buy or sell a house!” or “Real Estate Market Report for Yourtown, Yourstate?”


Not only is this section of ActiveRain chock full of up-to-date real estate market reports but market statistics and market trends as well. Best of all, they're written in plain English by the experts – those that actually work in these markets on a daily basis.

I hope you are doing well!  The school year is well under way as is the football season.  The Aspens are starting to change color so make sure you plan a Fall Color Tour in the next week or so.  The leaves are already starting to change in Rocky Mountain National Park. We are getting into the Fall market with many variables impacting how the market is trending.  On the positive side, we have lower mortgage interest rates, about 6.15% for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage right now.  We also have the ongoing issue of affordability that impacts a lot of would-be home buyers.  In this update, I take a look at the data and discuss the impact that these and other variables are having on our housing market.In other news, the way we do real estate has changed as of August 17th.  You may have seen ...

The number of homes selling over $1 million across the country is up to 8% of all homes.  Pre pandemic it was only 4%.  If you think it is more expensive to buy a home, you are right!  In the DC metro area the numbers are even worse.  In July 2024, the percent of homes in DC that sold over $1 million was 35.95%.  In Montgomery County it was 27.4%  In Arlington it was 52.67% and 27.3% in Alexandria.Even though affordability is improving, buying a home can still feel tough right now. But here’s some good news: builders are focusing their efforts on building smaller homes, and they’re offering key incentives to buyers. And both of these things can be a big help if you're worried about finding a home that’s right for your budget. Builders Are Building Smaller Homes During the pandemic, home...

Piney Orchard housing inventory got the "Back to School housing lull" inventory increase this month.  Something we are usually well insulated from.  There were 26 properties offers for sale in the community.  8 properties are under contract and headed to settlement and 10 homes sold with an average price of $457,000.  One single family home with almost 6,000 s.f. of living area just kissed the $1,000,000 sale price mark closing at $990,000, which was $2,000 less than the asking price,  We'll expect to see more of that as the larger single family homes sel in this neighborhood.   They are few and far between on the market.If you're thinking of selling your Piney Orchard home, we'd love to talk!  The Roskelly Team specializes in Piney Orchard real estate and our marketing plan ensures you...

The median home price was up 3% compared to August of 2023. The median sales price last month was $384,500 compared to $375,000 the year before. The total number of closed sales was down by 5% compared to the same month last year. There were 2,655 closed sales this August compared to 2,792 last year. New listings were up compared to last year, but new contracts and the total number of properties under contract were both down. The average days on market, average days to sale and the months supply of inventory were all up as well, pointing to a slowing market. Take a look at this brief video provided by the Orlan...
