July Marks Massive Gains for DC-Metro Housing Market

The Washington DC-Metro Area Housing Market has continued to see strong sales and overall growth in the past month, as noted in the Real Estate Business Intelligence’s DC-Metro Area Housing Market Update for July 2015. In fact, according to Real Estate Business Intelligence (RBI), the Washington DC-Metro Area had record sales in July 2015 compared to July’s performance year over year for the past decade! The RBI’s DC Metro Area Housing Market Update provides unique insight into the current state of the DC-Metro Area housing market  by measuring sales levels, home characteristic trends, and other key indicators to determine the market’s current and long-term performance.
 
With the resale market heating up this summer and the demand for homes in the DC-Metro Area at a record high, paired with today’s average rent at an all-time high and mortgage rates at a historic low—there are just so many reasons real estate is a worthwhile investment! With today’s ideal market conditions, now is the perfect time for both first-time and repeat homebuyers alike to invest in a brand-new home by Christopher Companies! Read on to learn about a few of the trends we’ve seen in the DC-Metro Housing Market this summer, and how they relate to home values in the Washington DC-Metro Area:

While home prices continue to rise, the median days-on-market for the region in July 2015 remains low at 19 days, indicating high market demand in the DC-Metro Area.
