Buyers, here’s the good news — mortgage rates have never been better!

The 30-year fixed has hit a new low, again breaking the record low that’s been established and reestablished numerous times over the past few months. Existing homeowners — you may be able to refinance with a 15-year mortgage close to 2.5% so this can probably save you serious money and you get to stay put!

As Northern Virginia begins to reopen, we’re seeing more and more in-person open houses scheduled, and expecting traffic to be way up in the coming weeks. The market only cooled slightly the past couple months in terms of volume — expect it to heat up faster than it cooled in coming weeks.

Some not-so-good news if you are a buyer — prices have remained remarkably steady!

Abundant speculation that prices would drop as a result of the pandemic has not rung true. There has indeed been an increase in instances of contracts falling through (previously a very rare occurrence in Arlington) and they were very largely due to financing issues. The housing market will always be a supply/demand equation and the years of pent-up demand in Arlington didn’t evaporate over the past couple months, despite global uncertainty.
