Key Market Trends
Sales activity slowed down slightly in April. There were 587 sales in the
Loudoun County housing market in April, 13 fewer sales than last year,
representing a 2.2% drop. This is 2nd decline in sales activity in a row in the County
and reflects the uncertainty in the market from COVID-19.
Largest decrease in pending sales in over 5 years. There were 498 pending
sales in Loudoun County in April, which is 285 fewer pending sales than a year ago,
a 36.4% decline. While pending sales have been slowing down in recent months
(prior to COVID-19), this is by far the largest drop in pending sales in the County in
over 5 years.
Prices continue to rise despite market slowdown. At $540,000 the April median
sales price in the Loudoun County housing market climbed 6.9% from last year, a
gain of $35,000. Home prices have been rising in the County for several years, a
reflection of the tight supply of active listings & strong demand.
The inventory continues to shrink, and new listings declined sharply. The
number of active listings in Loudoun County continues to decline, down 29.7% in
April compared to last year. New listings also declined dramatically in April, falling
20.9% from a year ago, which is 205 fewer listings. This signals that potential
sellers remain cautious during the on-going pandemic.
