| | | Good morning,
A very happy and healthy 2025 to you and your family! 2024 brought its challenges, but as we step into 2025, there’s a renewed sense of awareness and opportunity in the DC Metro area. From evolving housing trends to exciting neighborhood developments, the year ahead promises to keep us on our toes yet again. |
| Buyer vs. Seller: A Price Tug-of-War: My first blog post of the year examines the evolving price gap between buyers and sellers in the DC metro area, shaped by my firsthand experience and a late-2024 study.
Did You Know? Washington, DC’s population grew by 7,000 in 2024, reversing pandemic declines and reaching over 702,000 residents. Young professionals are driving this growth, especially in vibrant neighborhoods like Navy Yard and NoMa.
Market Milestone: The end of 2024 brought a nationwide uptick in inventory, offering a welcome opportunity for buyers who’ve been waiting on the sidelines for more options.
Here we go again? Mortgage rates have risen to their highest levels since mid-July, with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage reaching 6.91%.
