Continued record low inventory this March translated into just a 2 week supply of homes. This resulted in a lower number of sales and further price increases compared to 2021 as buyers feel urgency with increasing interest rates.
Here’s a look at all the March 2022 housing market stats for Northern Virginia and some of our hyper local markets at the bottom of the page.
