Well, hot, to put it mildly. Virginia’s real estate market shows home prices up 3.0% compared to last year, with a median sale price of $475,000. The average Virginia home value is $409,382, up 2.6% over the past year, and goes pending in around 10 days. That’s quite a statement, and a significant figure that highlights the market’s continued strength.
What Does This Mean For The Market?
What it means is sustained activity with some interesting shifts. 33.0% of homes in Virginia sold above list price, though this is down from previous highs. Property sellers are still finding success, but homebuyers are becoming more selective. The median days on the market was 31 days, up from earlier lows, showing houses are taking slightly longer to sell than the frenzied pace of recent years.
High Property Values Creating Buyer Caution
High property values are making some potential buyers more cautious, meaning competition has lightened up compared to peak market conditions. Current mortgage rates around 6.76% are reducing buying power, but the increasing percentage of homes with price drops could present opportunities for homebuyers in Virginia.
In short, a robust market is still driving home values upward at a steady pace and attracting both buyers and sellers, although the extreme frenzy has cooled to more sustainable levels.
What Does This Mean For Me?
If you are a homebuyer, it means approaching the market with preparation and a sense of patience. You have more inventory options, as the number of properties for sale has increased year-over-year; however, the 2-month supply period still favors sellers. With competition more reasonable than in peak years, there will be more opportunities to find your ideal property.
Housing Market Still Favors Sellers
If you are selling your house, on the other hand, you are still in an advantageous position. The growing home values and high demand in the state can work in your favor with the current 6.3% increase in median property prices. If your house falls in the popular price ranges, you can still expect strong interest, and may find your property selling for more than anticipated. Taking care of needed repairs and updating areas such as kitchens and bathrooms will maximize your profit in this environment.
What Does The Future Hold?
Real estate market predictions for Virginia suggest continued growth in most regions, indicating that the market will remain a seller’s advantage, albeit with more balance than seen in recent years. Mortgage rates are expected to stabilize, and many people are adjusting their strategies accordingly.
