“Market movement presents an opportunity for buyers and sellers to make informed decisions and still find success with the right plan,” said Harrison Beacher, 2022 GCAAR president.
“Across the District of Columbia and Montgomery County, new listings and the days a home spends on the market are creeping up slowly over last month,” he said. “Both of these factors favor the buyer. However, home prices in the District have inched up almost 12 percent in that same time frame, suggesting sellers still have the benefit of competition.”
“The housing market continues to see significant interest from buyers, despite emerging challenges. For many of these buyers, the dream of homeownership is still very much alive,” said GCAAR CEO Edward R. Krauze. “Although the process of buying a home may be different than it was in the past, anything is possible if you have an experienced REALTOR® working for you.”
