Blog Post: As Temperature Rises, So Does Vienna's Housing Supply — But Oakton Stays Cool

Temps rise and so does housing inventory. But don't jump to conclusions; we're still in a Seller's Market! But for how long?

As temperatures inch toward record highs this month, so follows Vienna's housing inventory level. Throughout 2012, Vienna has averaged about 187 homes on the market at any given time. Currently, we have 223 Vienna homes for sale.

But don’t be too quick to jump to conclusions. Vienna may be heading back to a “Balanced Market," but current contract levels keep Vienna in a “Seller’s Market” this week.

Oakton, on the other hand, has dropped under a three-month housing supply. This drop also pulls Oakton real estate into a “Seller’s Market." Eighty-four homes are currently for sale in Oakton. Since Oakton’s market is statistically smaller than Vienna’s, you’ll need to stay tuned to see if this is a trend or just a blip on the radar screen as we head into summer.
