Are you ready for the summer Del Ray real estate market?

As the health crisis started making its way throughout our country earlier this spring, sellers have been cautious about putting their homes on the market. This hesitation stemmed primarily from fear of the spread of the coronavirus, and understandably so. This abundant caution has greatly impacted the number of homes for sale and slowed the pace of a typically busy spring real estate season.

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

• 31 homes in Del Ray came on the market
• 23 went under contract
• 14 closed sales

In Del Ray, there were 31 new listings on the market this May compared to the 28 listings during the May 2019. In addition, there was also an increase in new listings compared to the 12 Del Ray homes listed last month, making Del Ray a very busy real estate market right now..

As Northern Virginia begins a phased approach to reopening, virtual best practices and health and safety guidelines for the buying and selling homes are in place to increase the comfort level of buyers and sellers. As a result, we are seeing more sellers come back to the market to list their homes.

Buyer demand in Del Ray continues to outpace seller inventory, resulting in multiple offer situations, low days on market, and increasing home prices. The median days on market for May 2020 in Del Ray was only 9 days with sellers getting 100% of their list price. In addition, if buyers continue to return to the market faster than sellers, we could see an even more extreme seller’s market. What was supposed to be a busy spring market is now turning into an even busier summer market.
