In the four weeks ending August 23, new listings across the US edged up by 0.4% week-over-week, and total homes for sale rose by 0.5% to their highest point since early Q2. Yet, despite this increase in options, pending home sales dropped by 1.1% weekly, reaching a six-month low as elevated housing costs kept many buyers on the sidelines even as inventory improved nationwide. The median sale price now stands over $400,000, up 1.9% from last year, and average mortgage rates are holding near 7%\u2014a 13-month high.<\/p>\n<p>For local buyers, this environment means there\u2019s more room to negotiate, especially on homes that have been listed for several weeks. Sellers who approach pricing with today\u2019s realities in mind often see the best results. In our Northern Virginia micro-markets\u2014like Ashburn, Brambleton, and One Loudoun\u2014understanding these subtle shifts becomes even more crucial. My focus remains on helping families navigate these changes with a clear, community-centered perspective, ensuring you\u2019re positioned to take advantage of buyer-friendly trends while staying grounded in the unique character of our neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#039;re seeing a shift in the market, with more homes coming available in recent weeks\u2014a trend that\u2019s especially apparent here in Northern Virginia.
