Just Listed in Arlington

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

Published April 27, 2018 at 6:00AM

Mortgage rates hit a four-year high this week, sellers set a new record, and buyers were insanely busy. It’s been an incredible week with sellers listing 128 homes giving our sparse inventory a huge boost. Buyers responded by ratifying a record 95 contracts this week, some 52 of those on homes that had been on the market less than seven days.

The average days on market has now dropped to 28. At the current rate of sales, and with only 468 homes actively for sale, Arlington is now down to only 1.2 months of inventory. The market is so hot you can hear it sizzle. Bidding wars are becoming more common, especially on homes priced under $900,000.
