Just Listed highlights Arlington properties that just came on the market within the past week. This feature is written and sponsored by Team Cathell, “Your Orange Line Specialists.”

What a difference a week makes! Arlington’s real estate market jumped back into hyper gear this week with 125 fresh new listings and 90 ratified contracts.

Just listed properties range in price from $135,000 to $2.2 million. Of the 90 sold homes this week, 15 are over $1 million lifting the average list price of ratified deals to $689,000. The average days on market dropped like a stone to only 34.

So what happened to cause this activity? Mortgage interest rates responded to volatile bond markets this week and 30-yr fixed rates climbed a good 1/4% or more. News outlets reported that this hike is likely to keep climbing. So it appears buyers are getting off the fence, ratifying contracts, and locking in lower rates while they can.
