“The market inside the beltway is still strong. In some areas, when you put a house on the market – it sells the same day. It can be just that brisk,” said 2021 GCAAR President Jan Brito. “With that said, we are starting to see slightly more available inventory, which is definitely going to help the situation for buyers out there. We may see some very different numbers in our September report.”

During August, new listings decreased about 8% over the prior month.
