I’ll take you through what’s happening in the county overall, with detached single family homes, and attached townhouses. Want more details? I’m here to help so ask away!

When it comes to time on the market, homes continue to move quickly through the system, another advantage for sellers. Overall the Loudoun County housing market had an average for 45 Days On Market (DOM) for November 2017. Breaking that down, detached homes were staying on for 58 days, 8 days quicker than last November, while townhouses went in just 29 days. That’s well below the 5-year November average of 43 DOM for townhouses here in Loudoun.

In regards to supply, the single family home market had a Contract Ratio 8% higher than 5-year November average. That number takes the ratio of pending sales against active listings. As the Contract Ratio lifts it indicates another marker of things going in the seller’s favor. The Contract Ratio for TH’s was just 1% higher last month, so not as strong, but still moving ahead for sellers.
