Market Update
Smart Sellers Are Still Winning! Over the past four years, limited inventory has driven home prices 20–25% above inflation based values, and while 2026 was expected to bring a 30% increase in inventory and a shift away from a seller’s market, unexpected disruptions including severe winter weather, global conflict, and rising gas prices slowed new listings and kept supply tight.
Instead of rising sharply, inventory has remained relatively flat across Northern Virginia, with Vienna down 3% and other areas seeing only modest gains, keeping upward pressure on prices. As a result, the market is still favoring sellers, but many are missing the opportunity.
While 60–75% of homes sold in the first week over the past four years, only 31% are doing so in 2026 due to overpricing and lack of preparation, leaving many sellers unable to capitalize on peak market conditions.
