Housing Market Trends Market Outlook
The strong spring market gives way to a slower summer in the DC Metro Area. In June, there were 5,274 closed sales across the Washington DC metro area, a 4.4% gain from a year ago. Year-to-date, closed sales are tracking 2.4% higher than last year, with particularly strong performance in the Northern Virginia suburbs.
More inventory has brought out buyers in the region. A total of 5,452 new listings came onto the market in June, which is a 3.7% increase compared to last June. At the end of the month, there were 11,168 active listings on the market, with inventory up 9.0% year-overyear.
Buyer activity moderated in June, with new pending sales relatively flat year-over-year and down by 8.0% compared to May. High home prices are holding back some buyers. The median sold price in June was $675,000, just shy of the record high in the region, and a 3.8% increase from a year ago.
The Washington DC metro area housing market was resilient in the first half of 2026, with buyers more active than they were during the uncertainty of early 2025. While underlying demand remains strong, the region’s housing market is likely to cool in the second half of the year, as affordability remains a constraint on the market.
