Boring Title: Housing Market Update

Title insurance is boring, but Allied Title & Escrow is here to decode the jargon and make it (somewhat) more interesting. This biweekly feature will explore the mundane (but very necessary!) world of title insurance while sharing interesting stories of two friends’ entrepreneurial careers.

D.C. Metro area housing market update (from what we’ve seen).

  • 20% increase in sales price from June

July was a record-breaking month for home sales price in the D.C. Metro area. The median sales price has reached a decade high. With rates falling below 3 percent, buyer demand continued to skyrocket. Led by Northern Virginia, Alexandria and Arlington posted decade high median prices. Additionally, homes are selling quickly, keeping inventory tight. According to Redfin, the D.C. area is the fourth most competitive housing market in the U.S.

  • 13% increase in opened deals from June

July deals did not solely increase in sales price, but volume as well. We received our most deals ever in July, up 13% from June — an indication of increased seller sentiment. Redfin reports that this is the first time ever on record that July closings gained from June. Our early data predicts a 7% uptick in median sales price due to the competition, especially on single-family homes. The rebound of the D.C. Metro area housing market has been incredible. Amidst the most unpredictable times in the modern era, it has been a force for economic recovery.

  • August projections: slight increase in median sales price, increase in volume

Data from our deals set to close in August reflects a slight increase in purchase price from July. The record-breaking home prices continue to beat July’s decade-high median sales price. The rates are too low to miss out on securing a new home for consumers. Our early data predicts a 7% uptick in median sales price due to the competition, especially on single-family homes. Not only will price increase, but volume as well. As seller sentiment continues to rise, the already strong buyer demand is rising as well.

Synetic Theater Camps are a wildly fun, highly accessible choice for young people who love moving, playing games, and making memories. Registration is open now for Summer Camps (sessions June 20-August 25) and there are even a few spots left for Spring Break camp, April 3­-7.

Located in National Landing, these performance-based camps are designed for students of all ages – no theater or performance experience required.

Led by professional teaching artists, campers learn acting, movement, and technical theater skills through the lens of Physical Theater. Physical Theater incorporates acting, movement, dance, mime, and acrobatics. If you’ve seen a Cirque du Soleil performance, you’ll find many similarities.

Most first-time campers are new to the performing arts, and teaching artists are well-versed in engaging students at all levels. Parents and campers report that one of the best parts of Synetic is the community, with many families returning year after year because they feel a strong sense of belonging.
