You are reading that correctly. The average sold price as a percentage of list price in Prince William County real estate is 99.4%. How, well I believe it is distorted. Often foreclosures and investment properties are listed low–really low–and they receive 3-15 contracts bidding the price up well beyond the list price back up to its real market value. With this dynamic going on it makes it hard to read too much into this last graph.
All this Northern Virginia Increased Real Estate Sales is Well and Good, But….
The summer slow down has started and I’ve seen a big drop in demand the past month. Some of that is seasonal but I think it is more extreme because buyers and sellers took care of business early this year to take advantage of the tax credit. They put their homes on the market earlier than usual and buyers made it a point to get under contract in time (april 30). So demand has slowed down as the market catches its breath….
