If you follow our blog regularly, you may have noticed that we did not post a weekly Vienna/Oakton market update last week. That’s because The Belt Team has been super busy this month – with more contracts ratified than any other month in 2011 except March – and we still have a week to go in the month! So, as our blog post title says, “It may be flu season, but the real estate market in Vienna and Oakton is healthy!”
So what’s been happening? Here are the highlights:
- Inventory in Vienna dropped 7% over the past two weeks, while inventory in Oakton dropped 10%. Vienna now has 229 homes on the market and Oakton has 85.
- Nine homes went under contract in Oakton over the past week and 7 homes the week before. Both weeks exceeded the average we have seen over 2011 of 6 homes per week. In Vienna, 35 homes went under contract over the past two weeks (15 last week and 20 teh week before). This about matches the weekly average for the year.
- Vienna & Oakton have diverged somewhat over the past two weeks in terms of the percentage of homes selling in 10 days or less. In Oakton, only one home (or 6% of the sales) sold that quickly in the past two weeks. While in Vienna, ten homes (29% of the sales) sold in 10 days or less. Average days on market for homes still active on the market is 107 days in Vienna and 94 days in Oakton.
- Both Vienna and Oakton are back to teetering between a “Seller’s Market” and a “Balanced Market”. Vienna has a 4 month housing supply (as opposed to the 2011 average of 3.1 months). While Oakton has a 3.2 month supply of homes (as opposed to the 2011 average of 3.2 months).
