Key Market Takeaways

Economic Conditions

• Like the rest of the Commonwealth, Loudoun County and the greater Northern Virginia region
  experienced job losses during the spring. However, there is evidence that the regional economy
  is improving as we head into summer.
• Consumer confidence in the economy rebounded after plummeting in March and April.
  Expectations about future economic conditions have been improving over the past two months.
• Record low mortgage rates have driven a refinance boom and have helped sustain the for-sale
  market during the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. Low rates will continue
  throughout 2020 and into 2021.

Housing Market Conditions

• Sales activity slowed in the Loudoun County housing market this quarter as COVID-19 uncertainty
  continued through the spring months. There were 1,866 sales in the County during the 2nd quarter,
  which is 334 fewer sales than a year ago, a 15% drop.
• While there were fewer sales transactions, home prices continue to rise in the County. At $530,000,
  the 2nd quarter median sales price in Loudoun County rose 5% from last year.
• The shrinking inventory trends have accelerated in the Loudoun County housing market amid the
  ongoing pandemic. Similar trends are occurring throughout the State. There were 576 active
  listings at the end of the 2nd quarter in Loudoun County, about half the number of listings as a year
  ago.
