November often feels like the calm before the storm that is the winter holiday season. The weather is cool, but hopefully not too cold to enjoy the outdoors. Between fall home maintenance projects, it's a great time to gather with friends or take some quiet time to relax. Check out these top selections for things to do around the DMV this November.

Contract activity for the week of November 5 - 11, 2023, in the Metro DC area fell by 3.8% compared to last year's seven-day period.

Key Takeaways:
· Despite the overall drop, three of the six jurisdictions in the metro area posted increases in contract activity. That follows four areas that posted increases the previous week.
· Year-to-date, contract activity is down 18.6%, but that gap has narrowed over the last few months. Through May, contract activity was down over 25%.
· Homes that went under contract were on the market for an average of 31.2 days, ten days faster than this time last year.

Why it Matters:
· Even though mortgage interest rates almost reached 8% in early November, they are down a quarter of a percent over the last week.
· Home prices are still rising at a modest pace, but we've been in a housing recession this year in the metro area because so many buyers have been pushed to the sidelines by high rates.
· Slowly but surely, buyers seem to be adjusting to high rates, and if we haven't reached the bottom of the recession, we're pretty close.

The most important part of my job is my relationship with my clients. I "win" when my clients find the home of their dreams, whether they are first-time home buyers, sellers, or tenants.

I support my clients during the real estate process, ensuring all of my contacts (lenders, inspectors, settlement attorneys) are experts and take excellent care of them.

Many of my clients are making a life transition, and I support them with positivity and am there for them....always!

If you are looking to make a move, send me a DM and let's chat! I would love to help you achieve your real estate goals.

Every Vote Counts!

Contract activity for the week of October 29 – November 4, 2023 in the Metro DC area rose by 5.3% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:
· Remarkably, four of the six jurisdictions in the metro area posted increases in contract activity. And this is the first overall week-over-year increase this year.
· Don't read too much – or too little – into the positive news this week because one week doesn't make a trend. But it is nonetheless encouraging.

Why it Matters:
· Even though mortgage interest rates are still near 8%, they ticked down slightly last week.
· That modest decrease in rates, combined with crisp, pleasant fall weather all week, may have been enough to coax some buyers back into the market.
· Once again, homes that went under contract sold much faster than last year – almost two weeks faster. Overall, last week, homes went under contract in an average of 30.2 days, compared to 42.8 days this same week last year. Only Washington, DC, had higher days on the market.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Contract activity for the week of October 22 - 28, 2023, in the Metro DC area fell by 12.0% compared to the same seven-day period last year.

Key Takeaways:
· High mortgage interest rates continue to soften buyer demand. There were 9% fewer contracts last week than just the week before – but remember, that’s not unusual for late October.
· Over the last couple of weeks, the Virginia side of the Potomac has fared a little better than the DC/MD side.

Why it Matters:
· Last week, there was a 29.5% decrease in the number of new listings coming on the market compared to the same week last year, and a 6.2% drop from just last week.
· This seemingly contradictory market of falling buyer demand and homes selling for fewer days on the market continues.
· Overall, homes sold an average of 30 days last week, five full days faster than last year. There isn’t enough inventory, and it’s not going to change anytime soon.

👉 Negotiation Skills - Whether you're buying or selling a property, a Realtor can negotiate to secure favorable terms, such as the purchase price, contingencies, repairs, and other contract details.

👉 Access to a Network and Resources - Realtors have access to a vast network of industry professionals, including mortgage lenders, inspectors, appraisers, contractors, and other essential service providers. We recommend trusted experts to assist with various aspects of the real estate transaction, ensuring the process is efficient and reliable.

These advantages can lead to better outcomes, whether buying or selling a property.

Contract activity for the week of October 15 - 21, 2023, in the Metro DC area fell by just 3.2% compared to last year's seven-day period.

Key Takeaways:
· Mortgage interest rates hit 8% last week, a full point higher than this time last year. Yet, three of the six jurisdictions we track posted increases in contract activity.
· Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, and Prince William County all had a positive week, and Prince George's County was almost unchanged (down just 0.6%). The outlier was Washington, DC, with a 26.4% drop in buyer activity. But that significant drop is primarily because of the continuing weakness in the condo market, which saw a 36% drop last week.

Why it Matters:
· Buyers have adjusted to the higher interest rate environment better than sellers, as we continue to see a steep drop in new listings coming on the market. Last week, there was a 32% decrease in the number of new properties.
· We continue to be encouraged by the fact that the market isn't softer than it is. The cost to purchase a home is significantly higher than a year ago, and buyer activity has held up remarkably well in the face of the increase.
· And the lack of listing inventory contributes to the fact that homes are selling a full week faster than last year – an average of 27 days last week vs. 35 last year.
