Northern Virginia Real Estate Market Trends - How to do your own research

When I first speak to potential buyers or sellers, I usually have to spend a good amount of time educating them on the realities of the market place.  They have usually been paying some attention to the main stream media and hearing about national real estate reports or trends that occured 3 to 6 months ago and are now just being reported on. 

What they need is a way to be able to track the real estate trend at the local level.

Until today, I have had to compile reports from a number of different places to be able to share with buyers and sellers. 

On the right side of our site - The Earl of Real Estate.com, you will see a button that says "How's The Market".  This icon will take you to a page that will allow you to select the exact area / city within Northern Virginia that you want to see trends and reports for.  Northern Virginia Real Estate Market Conditions.

Once you are on this page you can select a city or area.

This will take you to our Market Insider Reports for the selected city.

What is a Market Insider Report?

The Market Insider reports include:

  • Price Trends
  • Market Inventory
  • Days on Market Trends
  • Crime Risk Reports
  • Education Levels
  • School Reports
  • Insider Tips

Unlike other reports that update on a monthly basis and that are not interactive, our Market Insider Reports are updated every few days and allow you to select the exact data that you are looking for.

The First Tab on the reports is the Market Analysis.  This tab allows you to view the price trends of Sold vs. Listed.  This allows you to understand the difference between "listing prices" (what sellers are asking for) and "sold prices" (what buyers are willing to pay).

By comparing these price trends, you'll have a good idea of where the market is heading. The median listing and sold property prices are calculated based on the market activity each month.

Real Estate Trends for Northern Virginia

This same tab allows you to view Market Inventory Trends, Property Ownership figures and Additional Statistics for Single Family Homes and Condos. 

The reports are grouped by Zip Code, so at anytime you have an opportunity to  switch to another zip code within the Northern Virginia area.

The Community Info tab give you an opportunity to see the demographics and facts and figures for the Northern Virginia Area.  These figures include Income, Education Levels, Crime Risk, Weather Risk, Median Age, % Married and the number of homes in the area as well as the number of homes with children.

A handy mapping function shows the local Grocery Stores, Retail and Pet Stores along with other services and Places of Worship and Churches.

We also have an entire section dedicated to Schools.  Public and Private schools with rating from Greatschools.  Complete information and Test Scores along with Student to Teacher Ratios and Program Availability.

Northern Virginia Real Estate Trends - School Information

Remember, if you are selling, none of these reports are a substitute a true Comparative Market Analysis.  These reports and services are designed to help you get a better understanding of the local market place.

Northern Virginia Listing Agent - Where do we work?

As the lead agent of The Earl of Real Estate Team, I am often asked about which areas we cover with regard to listing properties. the short answer is that we handle the entire Northern Virginia metro area, from Alexandria to Leesburg and out to Chantilly and Centreville.

The long answer is that we are able to assit you in any of the following cities/areas (not broken down by neighborhoods). A unique difference between The Earl of Real Estae Team and other sites or agent on the web that list a number of cities on their websites is that WE HAVE ACTUALLY LISTED AND SOLD PROPERTIES and HELPED BUYERS IN EVERY CITY LISTED.

Here is the List of Northern Virginia Cities we Serve:

  • Alexandria
  • Arlington
  • Annandale
  • Ashburn
  • Burke
  • Centreville
  • Chantilly
  • Fairfax
  • Fairfax Station
  • Falls Church
  • Great Falls
  • Herndon
  • Leesburg
  • McLean
  • Oakton
  • Reston
  • Sterling
  • Springfield
  • Vienna
  • McLean

BUT HOW???

After looking at this long and extensive list, you are probably wondering how we can cover so much ground.  We work as a team, with a central operation for our administrative and contract processing work being done in our Reston Market Center.  this allows myself as the lead agent to be one the road most of the time, being of service to the sellers and buyers that we work with in the areas listed.

If you are considering listing your home, you owe it to yourself to call me first.  Perhaps we are not the best fit for you, in which case I will tell you, rather than trying to make the square peg fit into the round hole, like some agents.

I have been in Northern Virginia real estate market full-time for over 10 years now.  There are certainly others who have sold more homes than I have, but you would be hard-pressed to find an agent with more integrity than my wife and I.  I would rather talk you out of a home purchase or an offer on your home than to assist you in making a bad decision.

If you are considering selling a home in Northern Virginia or looking at Reston VA Homes for Sale, please feel free to give me a call.  I would love the opportunity to help you sell your property as quickly as the market can bear.  You can visit our primary Northern Virginia real estate website at www.theearlofrealestate.com.  You can also reach us at 571-926-9230 or via email at team@theearlteam.com.  We look forward to hearing from you!

Arlington VA Market Report - Inventory and Sales Data

One of the First Market indicators that we bring to your attention is the number of homes for sale in Arlington Virginia. This number shows the inventory choices that buyers have when considering purchasing a home in Arlington.

Homes for Sale

Because there can be spikes in the real estate market, we make sure that we show you the activity from the past 7 days and the 90 day average as well so that you can get a clear view of the Arlington VA Real Estate Market.

The second indicator is the pricing trends for Arlington Virginia. The chart shows the median single family home price as well as the 90 day median price for Arlington.

Price Trends
Arlington Virginia House Values

The combination of available inventory and pricing lead to the Sales and Demand Trend measured by the Average Days on Market in Arlington for a home before it gets an acceptable contract offer.

Sales & Demands Trend
Arlington Virginia Days on Market

All of this is measure with a The Arlington Virginia Market Action Index (MAI) – Developed by Alto Research for Arlington Virginia.

Market Conditions
Arlington Virginia Real Estate Market

Residential house prices are a function of supply and demand, and market conditions can be characterized by analyzing those factors.

“The Market Action Index (MAI) illustrates the balance between supply and demand using a statistical function of the current rate of sale versus current inventory. An MAI value greater than 30 typically indicates a “Seller’s Market” (a.k.a. “Hot Market”) because demand is high enough to quickly absorb available supply. A hot market will typically cause prices to rise. MAI values below 30 indicate a “Buyer’s Market” (a.k.a. “Cold Market”) where the inventory of already-listed homes is sufficient to last several months at the current rate of sales. A cold market will typically cause prices to fall.”

So Really – How is the Arlington Virginia Real Estate Market?

We get asked all the time, “How’s the market?”, and our response is, “Well, it depends. Are you looking to buy, sell, rent, or invest?”

Seriously, it is an fantastic market if you are a Buyer – interest rates are truly at an all time low, and prices are low as well.

And it is an fantastic market if you are a Seller – the good homes get scooped up fast and for top dollar.

And it is an fantastic market if you are an investor – and are looking to either fix up and flip a property or hold it and place a renter in the home.

During the past month The Earl of Real Estate Team has helped a number of clients sell their homes, and we have helped clients purchase new homes! We are as busy as we have ever been with showings, inspections, and presentations. The phones have been ringing nonstop, and our emails are flooded.

So, how’s the market?

The market is FANTASTIC.
