Wondering what’s happening in the Vienna real estate market? Here are the stats!
- 89 homes went under contract in Vienna in May. This is down 6% over May 2015.
- 163 homes came on the market this May. That’s 16% less tan May of 2015.
- Homes sold a week faster this May than they did last year – in an average of 28 days as compared to 35 days in May 2015.
- 76% of the homes that sold in May, did so in under 30 days. (Homes that sold in May went under contract in March & April). That number decreased significantly to 49% for homes that went under contract in May.
- We currently have a 3 month supply of homes in Vienna. That puts us in a very Balanced Market – neither a Buyer’s or a Seller’s market overall. However, in any given price range, the numbers make skew very differently – making some price ranges a Seller’s Market and some a Buyer’s Market. For example – we have almost an 8 month supply of homes in the Vienna market over $1.2 Million. And in the under $800,000 price range – we have less than a two month supply. This means that Buyers in the upper ranges are looking at a Buyer’s Market, and Buyers in the lower ranges are facing a Seller’s Market.
BUYERS & SELLERS
Make sure your agent is providing you with the data you need to make good decisions. Buying and selling often becomes about emotion. Buyers fall in love with homes or want to “get a deal” to feel good about buying. Sellers are invested in how much THEY love their home or have a number in mind based on what they “need” to get out of it.
The reality is that Buyers & Sellers who are successful in today’s market look at the data and act accordingly. The data above about the variances in different price ranges is a perfect example of why. Right here in Vienna we have two totally different markets. If you’re looking to buy, and you “make an offer” below list price – you might be VERY successful in the upper ranges because we have such an abundant supply of homes. Taking that same action in the lower price range will likely mean you don’t get the house of your dreams. Someone else will.
