Summer Sales Still Simmering in Vienna & Oakton Real Estate
Are you wondering whether the real estate market has slowed? Are we in a Buyer's Market or a Seller's Market?
As summer comes to an end and school gets ready to start, let's take a look at what's happening in the Vienna and Oakton real estate markets. Specific statistics are below, but first here's a summary of where we are:
- In terms of number of homes sold, last week saw sales in both Vienna and Oakton just barely below the weekly average we have seen throughout 2012. Vienna has averaged about 22 sales per week this year; while last week 17 homes went under contract. And Oakton has averaged about seven sales per week. Last week six homes sold. Not too bad for the end of August.
- In terms of how fast homes are selling, 46 percent of the homes that went under contract in the past week sold in two weeks or less. Sixty-five percent sold in less than a month. The longest days on market for homes that sold last week belonged to the two highest priced listings ($1,399,000 and $1,450,000). They took 135 and 134 days, respectively, to sell.
- The highest price home to go under contract last week was a home in Oakton listed at $1,450,000. Most homes that sold (75 percent) were listed under $800,000, with the lowest list price at $220,000 for a condo next to Vienna Metro.
- Inventory remains low, and we continue to see a Seller's Market in both Vienna and Oakton. Both areas have less than a three-month supply of homes on the market.
