Inventory is BOOMING in Northern Virginia –
What It Means for Buyers and Sellers
The real estate market in Northern Virginia is heating up, and the numbers speak for themselves. If you’ve been considering buying or selling, now is the time to pay attention. Here’s a look at the latest inventory trends and what they mean for you.
Inventory Surge Across Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun & Prince William
The Casey Samson Team covers some of the most sought-after counties in Northern Virginia: Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William. Over the past 30 days, inventory in our target markets has jumped by 82% compared to 2024. Year-to-date, inventory is up 45%, creating more options for buyers.
This increase signals a booming market with more homes hitting the shelves—giving buyers greater selection.
Sample Markets Seeing Even Greater Growth
In some of the most desirable neighborhoods—McLean, Vienna, Oakton, Centreville, Haymarket, Aldie, and Leesburg—the surge is even more dramatic:
- 30-Day Trend: Inventory is up 82% from 2024.
- Year-to-Date: Inventory has climbed 49% over last year.
These areas are seeing a flood of new listings, giving buyers more opportunities to find their dream home.
Buyers Are Active – Homes Are Moving Fast
Despite the rising inventory, the buyer pool remains very active. Well-priced and properly prepared homes are still going under contract in the first week. This fast-moving dynamic highlights the importance of:
- Pricing strategically: Homes priced right continue to attract multiple offers.
- Preparing for sale: Staging, curb appeal, and minor updates can make a big difference.
What Does This Mean for You?
✅ For Sellers: With inventory climbing, competition is increasing, but demand is still strong. Now is the time to price competitively and ensure your home is show-ready to capture motivated buyers.
✅ For Buyers: More inventory means more options, but with strong competition, being pre-approved and ready to make a move is key.
