How is COVID-19 Impacting the Arlington Real Estate Market?

After a short slowdown in showings, buyers are back out looking for homes again. MLS stats show that home showings are up from previous weeks and continue to increase.

Here is the latest stats on what's happening in the Arlington Real Estate Market last month:

• 279 homes in Arlington came on the market
• 189 went under contract
• 204 closed sales - The median days on market was 5 days with sellers getting 100% of the original list price.

This indicates that Arlington is still a seller's market! Compared to last year, in April 2019, there were 341 new listings, 294 under contract, and 287 closed sales in Arlington. The median days on market was 6 days with sellers getting 100% of their list price, indicating that, while these are less volume of sales, COVID-19 has not yet significantly impacted Arlington home sales.
