August 2023 DMV Real Estate Update

Happy August!

Between work and fun, this summer seems to have flown by. We hope you had a blast, making memories with family and friends! And if you have kiddos heading back to school this fall, we hope the transition goes smoothly!

Now, onto your real estate update.

August 2023 DMV Real Estate Market Overview

While the summer real estate market was a bit slower than is typical for this time of year with many buyers out of town, we still saw a ton of market activity. Our team recently handled multiple offers from Ashburn, VA to DC to suburban MD. Low inventory levels and demand for housing have offset the historically high interest rates, so buyers are still moving forward with purchases; they are just price sensitive, ensuring they get a good deal on their purchase.

What’s Going On With Interest Rates

Speaking of those historically high interest rates, the Fed raised rates again last week, as you likely heard, and are expected to raise them once more this year. However, the lending world already anticipated this move, so rates stayed about the same (in the high 6s). We are keeping an eye on this, hoping they remain in the sub 7% range. If you are considering buying a home and want to learn how to “buy down” your interest rate, please don’t hesitate to reach out! We are more than happy to help!

DMV Summer Market Update: Balanced and Brisk in Potomac, Vienna & Manassas

Happy June from Jennifer Young Homes! As we welcome summer and celebrate the end of the school year, here’s a quick update on the real estate market across the DMV. Despite national headlines of slowdowns, our local market remains steady and balanced. Inventory is up 49% year-over-year, giving buyers more options—but also leading to a slight oversupply in some rural and luxury segments. Pending sales are down 6.6%, the lowest since 2015, largely due to interest rates holding around 7%. Still, motivated buyers are securing well-priced, move-in-ready homes.

Our seller wanted a quick sale and top dollar—so we delivered.
