Here’s the monthly real estate statistics for the Fort Hunt community.
Hello Fort Hunters. Hope you are enjoying a fabulous summer.
We are excited to share the June 2012 real estate numbers for zip code 22308 numbers with you.
As you can see from the chart below, the sold volume is up year over year and down month over month. Median and average sold prices are holding steady.
Average days on market is 36 days, which means it took almost 50 percent less time to sell a house in June 2012 compared with June 2011. Average days on market are up significantly month over month, but last month (May) showed only 21 days on market.
Average sold to original list ratio is also holding steady and nice and high at close to 98 percent. This means that the average sold price was on average, 2.22 percent less than list price. Not bad at all!

Let’s take a look at our inventory year to year. We had 30 fewer active listings and seven fewer new listings in 2012 than 2011. Lesser inventory tends to favor sellers, while an abundance of inventory tends to favor buyers. We feel we are still a fairly balanced market as shown in the average sold price to original list price ratio.

Lastly, a snapshot of June over the last five years is presented in the attached graphic.
It was a very solid month for us. How lucky are we to live in a part of the country and, in the Washington metropolitan area in particular, where home values remain so strong and constant! There are always exceptions to this rule, but we are in a pretty awesome place: not just our extraordinary community, but the quality of life which we enjoy. The solid real estate numbers are just a great bonus.
We hope you have the best summer ever and we will be back in touch with July numbers soon.
Let us hear from you with comments or questions.
