What These Numbers Suggest

Prices are softening, but not collapsing
The median sold price dropped 6.5% year-over-year in March, landing at $757,500. While that may sound significant at first, year-to-date prices are only down 2.4%, YoY. We are seeing a bit of normalization after aggressive pricing in prior years.

Inventory is tighter than last year
Even though the market feels slower, there are actually fewer homes available. Sellers may be holding back, likely due rate lock-in or uncertainty. Fewer sellers means less competition for existing listings, even in a slower demand environment.

Homes are still moving fast
Median days on market saw an uptick from 5 to 6 days, but that’s still extremely fast. Even year-to-date, homes are averaging only 8 days on market. Despite higher rates and softer demand, well-priced homes are still selling quickly.

Supply is shrinking faster than demand
Inventory is down nearly 18% and demand (sales) is down around 5%. When supply drops faster than demand, it limits downward pressure on prices, even in a slower market.

Broader Context

Zooming out, Loudoun County’s housing trends are reflecting what we’re seeing across much of the U.S. housing market in 2026. Elevated mortgage rates continue to shape both buyer and seller behavior. Buyers are more budget-conscious, while many homeowners are choosing to stay put rather than give up historically low interest rates. This “lock-in effect” is keeping inventory unusually tight, even as demand cools slightly. At the same time, the rapid price growth of the past few years is leveling off, leading to modest YoY declines rather than sharp corrections.

As always, county-level data can mask neighborhood-level variation. Pricing trends and market pace can differ significantly by price point, property type, and community.
