• In addition to the record closed sales price, several indicators suggest that market activity is starting to increase prior to previous years.
• The number of closed sales in Loudoun County increased 11.6% from 292 in February 2019 to 326 in February 2020. This was the first increase in the number of February closed sales in Loudoun County since 2016.

• Finally, the number of new listings also gained. The number of new listings increased 0.4% from 678 in February 2019 to 681 in February 2020. Although the increase was modest, it is another sign that activity may be finally starting to increase.
