Are you hesitant to list your home due to current market fluctuations in rates and prices? Understanding the broader market trends in Northern Virginia is crucial before making your decision.

Despite a dip in sales compared to more robust years, the real estate market remains vibrant. Last year alone, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported about 4.15 million homes sold, excluding new constructions. Looking ahead, the 2025 market in Northern Virginia is expected to see an uptick in activity, suggesting an increase in prospective buyers. Detailed predictions provided by the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors (NVAR), in collaboration with George Mason University, indicate that most local markets will experience moderate price gains, with some areas seeing increases due to tighter market conditions.

Even if this year’s figures only match those from the previous year, the statistics remain impressive. On average:

  • 11,370 homes are sold each day,
  • Approximately 474 homes are sold every hour,
  • Roughly 8 homes are sold every minute.

This constant flow of transactions underscores an active market where buyers are consistently present and eager to purchase.

The 2025 NVAR Regional Housing Market Forecast suggests:

  • Fairfax County will experience a 1.5% rise in single-family home prices, with sales increasing by 5.7%.
  • Arlington and Alexandria will see varying increases in home prices with Arlington townhomes expected to rise by as much as 8.7%.
  • Prince William and Loudoun Counties will continue to attract buyers with relatively affordable options and rising property values.
