Summary

  • Northern Virginia closed 1,919 home sales in June, up 3.9% from a year earlier, outpacing the 2.8% national gain in existing-home sales.
  • The median sold price climbed 5.2% to $810,000, far faster than the 1.8% national increase to $440,600, showing stronger local demand despite higher costs.
  • Homes sold in 19 days on average—5.0% faster than a year ago—while the national pace slowed to 28 days, underscoring the region’s tighter, more competitive market.
  • Active listings rose 12.1% to 2,816, but supply remained scarce at 1.98 months versus 4.6 months nationally, even as buyers gained somewhat more choice.
  • The June data point to a market entering the second half of 2026 with improving inventory but still-persistent supply constraints that continue to support prices.
