So much for any indications that a price bubble is about to pop in the Fairfax County real-estate market.
After falling below $1 million in September for the first time since last winter, the average sales price of single-family homes across the county was back in seven-digit territory in October.
Inventory remains tight across the Fairfax County homes market, helping to boost average sales prices in two of three market sectors in October.
A total of 855 properties went to closing across the county last month, according to new data reported by MarketStats by ShowingTime based on listing activity from Bright MLS and reported Nov. 10. That’s down 5.7 percent from the 907 sales recorded during a relatively quiet October 2022.
The number of homes going to contract in the Washington region for the week ending Nov. 5 was up (slightly) both from the preceding week and from a year ago.
That’s according to Bright MLS, which reported 1,102 contracts for the week, up 0.8 percent from a week before and up 0.5 percent from a year ago.
