Mid-Q3 brought some encouraging changes: 1,300 closed sales and $1.2 billion in dollar volume show that activity remains strong, even as buyers found more options. The median sold price held steady at $765,000, with homes averaging 26 days on the market\u2014a sign that well-matched properties are still moving at a reliable pace.<\/p>\n<p>One trend I\u2019m watching: active listings rose to 2,900 units, with condos and attached homes leading the way. For anyone weighing their next move\u2014whether you\u2019re looking for your first place, planning to downsize, or considering a luxury property\u2014these choices matter. Detached homes are less prevalent right now, but the variety among condos, townhomes, and other attached styles means more flexibility for buyers in every stage of life.<\/p>\n<p>The market is still active and hasn\u2019t yet reached a fully balanced point, but ongoing local efforts to broaden housing options are making an impact. If you\u2019re considering a change, know that there are more possibilities than ever to find a home that fits your evolving needs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone who\u2019s helped hundreds of clients navigate the Northern Virginia market over the past 25 years, I\u2019m always interested in how shifts in inventory open new doors for buyers.
