The District's Struggle Continues
Contract activity for November 16 - 22, 2025 in the Metro DC area was essentially unchanged, down just 0.1%, compared to the same seven-day period last year.
Key Takeaways
- The federal government shutdown is over – for now – but the negative impact on the Washington, DC housing market continues. Contract activity was down 14.3% last week.
- Prince George’s County was off 9.3% last week, continuing its generally sluggish performance.
- The rest of the suburban markets are holding their own.
Why It Matters
- We’re seeing the entirely normal and expected seasonal slowdown.
- And although we, of course, see weekly variations among the six jurisdictions we track, there is overall consistency. Washington, DC and Prince George’s County have lagged the market all year, while Montgomery County and the Virginia suburban markets are slightly better than a year ago.
- On average, homes took 14 days longer to sell last week (53 days) than last year (39 days).
Another Sluggish Week
Contract activity for the week of November 16 - 22, 2025 in the Virginia Countryside and West Virginia Panhandle area was down 10.1% compared to the same seven-day period last year.
Key Takeaways
- Last week’s 10.1% drop in newly ratified contracts in these more rural markets mirrors the previous week’s 10.9% decrease.
- Don’t read too much into these relatively large percentage drops – the actual number of contracts was only off by 16 homes.
Why It Matters
- We’re seeing the entirely normal and expected seasonal slowdown – it’s just that this year is a little slower than last.
- Unlike the closer-in markets where homes are taking considerably longer to sell than last year, the Countryside and WV Panhandle markets are quite steady. Last week, homes sold in an average of 44 days, the same at this time last year.
The Real Estate Details
- Virginia Countryside was down 9.8%, but is up 3.2% year-to-date.
- West Virginia Panhandle was down 10.5% and is down 5.7% year-to-date.
