Vienna & Oakton Buyers Acting Like Paper Towels

Vienna & Oakton homebuyers have a lot in common with paper towels, at least they do with Bounty brand paper towels.

Remember the old TV commercials? They called Bounty the “quicker picker upper”! (You can see a clip on our Northern VA Real Estate Blog.)

Well – the way Vienna & Oakton’s housing market is moving, it looks like homebuyers are definitely “quicker picker uppers”. In the past 30 days, homes went under contract at the fastest pace we’ve seen this year.

Statistics show we are almost to the point where for every home listed, a home goes under contract!

(Note: In a “Balanced Market, there is normally about 6 months of housing inventory. Current supply in Vienna and Oakton is 1.1 and 1.3 months respectively!)

• In Vienna in the past 30 days, there were 114 new listings – and 105 homes went under contract.

• In Oakton in the past 30 days, there were 51 new listings – and 45 homes went under contract.

Don’t get left behind in the rush of today’s market. When the river is moving along this fast, whether you are a Buyer or a Seller, you need a good captain to navigate the waters. Many homes are selling before they hit the market. It’s not unusual for us to get a call from a buyer asking about a certain listing, only for us to have to tell them that it’s been under contract for days. And Sellers can also benefit from having top notch negotiators leveraging their possibilities to the hilt.
