Thankfully, Montgomery County Had a Great Week
Contract activity for September 21 - 27, 2025 in the Metro DC area was down 2.2% compared to the same seven-day period last year.
Key Takeaways
- Four of the six jurisdictions we track had fewer contracts last week than the same week last year, and the overall drop in contracts would have been significantly worse had Montgomery County, Maryland not posted a very healthy 21.1% increase.
- At the other end of the spectrum was neighboring Prince George’s County with a 21.8% drop in new contracts. PG has seen a weekly increase in contracts just once in the last three months.
- Of the other four areas, only Prince William County has an increase in contracts (up 7.0%).
Why It Matters
- The metro DC market is stable, with conditions generally stronger from a sellers’ perspective in the Virginia suburbs and Montgomery County, Maryland, while DC and Price George’s County are sputtering.
- Last week homes going under contract took an average of 44 days to sell, while last year the number was 33 days.
A Rough Week in the Panhandle
Contract activity for September 21 - 27, 2025 in the Virginia Countryside and West Virginia Panhandle area was down 19% compared to the same seven-day period last year.
Key Takeaways
- With just 77 contracts last week, the West Virginia Panhandle (Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan Counties) had a 27.4% drop from the 106 contracts this same week last year.
- The Countryside market was down 10.1%, with 89 contracts.
Why It Matters
- These more rural parts of the DC metropolitan area mirror their more urban neighbors with a flat market. Inventory is up, and buyer activity is pretty sluggish.
- Reflecting that relative calm, last week homes going under contract took an average of 47 days to sell, while last year the number was 40 days.
The Real Estate Details
- Virginia Countryside was down 10.1%, but is up 4.2% year-to-date.
- West Virginia Panhandle was down 27.4% and is down 4.3% year-to-date.
