What the numbers say

  • Prices are up, but not per square foot. The median price rose 36.1%, while the median price per square foot slipped 5.8%. That points to more larger homes selling, not buyers paying more for the same space.
  • Homes are taking longer. The median home sold in 11 days, up from 2. Sellers got a median 96.8% of their original list price, so pricing right from day one matters.
  • Supply is tight. At 1.9 months of supply, there are not many homes for sale at any one time. Anything under about 4 months generally favors sellers.

Townhomes and condos are a different market. Over the same 12 months, townhomes had a median sale price of $600,000 on 3 sales (vs. $565,000 on 1 a year earlier). With small numbers, one or two sales can swing the median a lot. Call me for a price on a specific townhome or condo.
Why not use the 28205 numbers? 28205 covers Chantilly plus other neighborhoods. Its single-family median for the same 12 months was $613,000 on 576 sales. Chantilly’s was $1,272,500, about 108% higher. If you price a home here off ZIP-wide numbers, you will be off.
