Buyers kept a steady pace this week by ratifying 54 contracts in Arlington, and sellers refilled the inventory bucket by listing 60 homes. It appears the upper price range is softening in Arlington as only four of those homes sold this week were listed above $1 million. Some 16 of those ratified were gone within a week, and only one was priced above $1 million. The average days on market was 49 showing the trend of homes taking more time to sell.

The workplace environment is rapidly changing — moving from well-starched shirts and pencil skirts to cozy knits and all-day espresso. But it’s so much more than appearance. Employees are demanding to move away from workplace formalities, and developers must come up with creative ways to accommodate these new workspace needs.

Carr Properties’ response to these changes has been to create warm and dynamic office hubs with flexible lease terms and ample amenities that create opportunities for established companies and start-ups alike. The new roll out of WaveOffice will foster a sense of community amidst a creative layout of tenant suites.
