Townhome median price sets new record; Double-digit growth for new listings for the third straight month

OVERVIEW

Several key market indicators continue to trend upward in the Washington DC Metro Area.  Sales and new contracts had double-digit growth in June and are now at multi-year highs.  The inventory shortage also continues to shift for the region.  While the number of active listings remains historically low, new listings are surging, rising at a double-digit rate relative to last year for the third consecutive month.  Many of these new listings are likely being purchased the same month they are listed, as the median days-on-market remains at its housing-boom level of nine days.  This strong demand is pushing up the median sale price.  The Washington DC Metro Area tied the record high for median sales price in June.

Lowest median days-on-market since the peak of the housing boom

OVERVIEW

The housing market in the Washington DC Metro Area continues to post strong growth as we approach the summer season.  Sales are at a seven-year high for May, and new contracts are back to peak housing boom levels.  The median sale price for the region is rising and posted the highest May level on record. The median sale price is now over $30,000 higher than May 2012, and over $70,000 higher than May 2011.  It appears that the rising price points could be enticing more sellers to enter the market, as new listings are up nearly 20 percent from this time last year, reflecting back-to-back months of double-digit growth for this indicator.
