Why is understanding the market more important than ever?
In 2025, there are fewer guardrails to protect housing consumers and home owners. Today's housing market can best be described as volatile. Each day brings new events that impact housing—positively or negatively. Understanding shifting market conditions is the first step towards protecting your interests.
The second is working with an advocate.
Let’s take a look at the latest numbers:

Last week in the District of Columbia, buyer showing activity increased, but didn’t result in more contracts week-over-week. Homes are sitting on the market longer and median list price is dropping for this time period, both week-over-week and year-over-year.
Inventory levels are way up in the District.
The District posted 5.8 months of inventory in May, the highest level in a decade+. DC’s five year inventory average is 3.4 months of supply.
What To Expect Next Week
We may see new contracts rise slightly in next week’s report for activity for the week ending June 28th, as at least some contracts should result from the spurt of showings the week prior. June is considered the last month of the spring season for real estate in Washington DC. Fewer listings are expected to enter the market in July, and August is historically a quiet month in the nation’s capital as legislators head home and residents take vacations.
