Overview
- After a few months of slow growth, the number of June closed sales increased 3.2 percent over June 2016. There were 802 closed sales in June 2017—the highest monthly sales number on record for Loudoun County.
- Demonstrating increasing demand, contract activity is trending upward as new pending sales increased 6.7 percent from last year to 722 new pending sales. Despite lagging condo sales in June, new pending condo sales are up 21.7 percent from June 2016.
- For the 24rd straight month, active inventory continued to decline. At the end of June, inventory was 16.1 percent lower than the same point last year. This left 1,551 homes for sale at the end of the month, with 2.7 months of supply headed into July.
- New listing activity in June increased versus last year (+10 percent) for the second straight month. Loudoun County added 1,014 new homes to the market in June – the highest number of June new listings in over a decade. This may indicate potentially loosening inventory in the coming months, but inventory is still not keeping pace with demand as evidenced by the continual downward trend of total active listings.
