Northern Virginia Real Estate Market Update - 1st Quarter 2016

For anyone who has been actively buying or selling real estate in Northern Virginia so far in 2016, it has been a wild ride. $2.3 billion in real estate was sold since January 1. Over the last few months, most of our listings have been selling in less than two weeks-- some in only a few days. That means our sellers are getting multiple offers and buyers are having to make quick decisions about which home they want to buy. Throughout Northern Virginia, there has been an upswing in the amount of activity in the real estate market. Let's take a look county-by-county.
