Northern Virginia Housing Market Update

March 2016 Regional Market Update: The median sales price for the region was down only slightly (0.3%) from March last year and up 5% over last month. Inventory is way up (20% year over year) and at it's highest level since 2007.

Despite that increase, inventory remains low making now a great time to sell in most Northern VA jurisdictions. If you'd like a detailed analysis of what your home would sell for in today's market, please email nicoleduffey@kw.com with your street address.
