Total new contract activity dipped just 2.5% for the week of Feb 1–7 compared to last year—a surprisingly resilient showing given last week’s brutal temperatures.

Across the Metro DC area, 896 homes went under contract, only slightly below the same week in 2025. Buyers didn’t disappear—they just moved more carefully. With icy sidewalks and sub-freezing temps, showings were harder to schedule and days on market stretched from 39 to 55 days, reinforcing what we’ve seen all year: buyers are active, but deliberate.

Northern Virginia continued to show relative strength, while Montgomery County and DC saw more weather-driven hesitation, especially at higher price points. Loudoun and Prince William reflected steady demand, just tempered by caution.

The takeaway? This wasn’t a market retreat—it was a market wearing a heavy coat. Cold weeks tend to delay decisions, not eliminate them. Once conditions improve, that pent-up activity often follows.

📊 Buyers didn’t leave. They just stayed indoors.

After several years of tight inventory, rising rates, and stalled decision-making, 2026 is shaping up to be a “thaw” year for real estate. ⤵️

• Not a flood of inventory.
• Not a market crash.
• Just a return to movement — on both sides.

For buyers, this means more options, fewer panic offers, and the ability to negotiate thoughtfully. Preparation matters more than speed.

For sellers, success is still very real — but it’s no longer about “testing the market.” Accurate pricing, strong presentation, and a clear strategy are what separate homes that sit from homes that sell.

The biggest shift?
Stability. And stability creates opportunity — when you know how to navigate it.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling this year, the conversation should start with strategy, not headlines.

02/04/2026

It may be the shortest month of the year, but this February is packed with reasons to celebrate. Whether you stay in and watch the Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina, take your Valentine out for a treat, or join in Lunar New Year festivities, DC, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia have so much to offer.

Contract activity across the Metro DC area rose 8.3% compared to the same week last year — a strong showing as winter weather loomed.

A few key trends stood out this week:

• Buyers may have moved a bit earlier ahead of snow and freezing rain, helping drive a solid week of new contracts
• Northern Virginia saw gains led by homes priced above $750K, with a sharp uptick over $1M — a sign of renewed confidence at the higher end
• Loudoun County continued to skew upscale, with most activity concentrated in the $750K+ range
• Prince William County delivered one of the strongest performances, fueled by affordability-driven demand under $750K
• Montgomery County posted broad gains across price points, especially between $500K–$1.5M
• Prince George’s County saw modest growth, led by homes priced $300K–$499K
• Washington, DC pulled back again, particularly in higher price ranges

Why it matters:
Days on market rose across every jurisdiction — up to 52 days from 39 this time last year. Buyers are active, but they’re not rushing. This remains a measured, selective market where leverage and patience matter, especially as inventory continues to build heading toward the heart of spring.

Contract activity across the Metro DC area rebounded strongly last week, up 18% compared to this time last year. Buyers are active across the region, but one theme is clear: they’re taking their time.

Here’s what we’re seeing:
• Northern Virginia led the way with contract activity up over 20%, including strong momentum above $750K — especially in the $750K–$1M range.
• Loudoun County continues its steady climb, driven by higher-priced homes, even as entry-level activity softened slightly.
• Prince William County saw a major surge across nearly all price points, but buyers are moving more deliberately.
• Montgomery County posted solid gains, particularly in higher-priced homes.
• Prince George’s County posted one of the strongest weekly gains in the region, with increases across nearly every price category, including higher-end homes. However, year-to-date totals remain below last year, and days on market continue to climb.
• Washington, DC improved modestly, with strength under $750K and continued selectivity at higher price points.

Across nearly every market, days on market increased, signaling a more balanced environment where buyers feel empowered to compare options and negotiate. What this means: Activity is picking up — but urgency isn’t. Pricing, preparation, and strategy matter more than ever.

Contract activity across the region was only 1.6% lower than this time last year — a sign that buyers are still engaged, just moving carefully.

What’s standing out so far in early 2026 is where that activity is happening.

Homes under $750,000 are driving the majority of the momentum, especially in Northern Virginia and Loudoun County, where buyer demand remains strong and decisive. Loudoun, in particular, is off to a fast start, with year-to-date contracts running well ahead of last year.

Meanwhile, higher price points — especially above $750,000 — are seeing a more measured pace across much of the region. Montgomery County is showing healthy activity even in the upper ranges, while Prince William, Prince George’s, and DC are experiencing slower contract volume and longer days on market, reflecting a more cautious buyer pool.

The takeaway:
Early-year momentum in 2026 is being shaped by affordability and value. Buyers are active, but they’re selective — especially at higher price points. As more listings come online later this month, we’ll get a clearer picture of whether this careful start turns into broader spring demand.
