Hi Friends,
The DMV real estate market demonstrated a robust performance, with both median home prices and inventory levels continuing their upward trajectory compared to last month. This trend reflects a sustained demand for housing in the region along with a third week reduction in mortgage rates! As buyers remain active, the increase in inventory offers more options, yet the rising prices underscore the ongoing pressure in the market. This dynamic environment sets the stage for an intriguing start to the new year for the real estate market, as seen in our Market Recap below.
In the spirit of new beginnings, the twins had their very first swim meet this past weekend! Watching them dive into the pool with determination and joy was a proud moment, reminding me of the importance of setting goals and working hard to achieve them. Their dedication and enthusiasm are truly inspiring, and I can't wait to see how they grow and excel in their swimming journey.
As we step into 2025, it's the perfect time to reflect on our past achievements and set new goals for the year ahead. The start of a new year brings a fresh perspective and renewed energy to pursue our dreams, both personally and professionally. Let's set ambitious goals, support each other, and celebrate every success along the way. Here's to a year filled with growth, achievement, and memorable moments!
From our family to yours, Happy Holidays and A Joyous New Year!
Sara & Arash
