📊 July 2026 DMV Housing Market Update 🏡
The Washington, D.C. Metro housing market is continuing to shift toward more inventory and more choices for buyers, while overall buyer activity is showing signs of slowing. High-intent buyers remain active, particularly in the higher-end market, but affordability concerns, mortgage rates and economic uncertainty are causing some buyers to be more cautious. Here's a brief look at how the Washington, D.C. Metro (DMV area) housing market performed compared to July 2025:
🏡 Closed Sales: 4,690 ➡️ Essentially unchanged
📝 New Pending Sales: 4,202 ⬇️ 4.2%
🏘️ New Listings: 5,085 ⬆️ 3.3%
📈 Active Listings: 11,431 ⬆️ 11.2%

⏳ Median Days on Market: 15 days ➡️ No change
🏠 Months of Supply: 2.75 ⬆️ 0.27 months
Key Insights: The biggest story continues to be rising inventory. Active listings reached 11,431 in July, the highest inventory level in the DMV since 2019, giving buyers more homes to choose from and potentially more negotiating leverage. At the same time, showings declined 4.7% and pending sales fell 4.2%, signaling that some buyers are becoming more selective or stepping back.
Despite softer buyer activity, home values remain resilient. The median sold price increased 1.6% to $650,000, supported in part by continued strength in the higher-end market. Year-to-date, closed sales are also 2.0% ahead of 2025, showing that the market remains active even as conditions become more balanced.
