An Update on the DC-Area Housing Market

There have been "reports" on social media that there has been a surge of new listing activity in the Washington DC area housing market, which some are pointing to as evidence of an exodus of federal employees from the region. Facts do not support these "reports."

Based on Bright MLS data through February 16, we are not seeing a significantly different pattern in the DC area that would suggest listing activity associated with changes within the federal government workforce. Listing activity in the first two weeks of February is virtually unchanged from a year ago.

In Arlington, Virginia, there were 110 new listings in the first part of February this year compared to 112 new listings during the same period in 2024. The pattern is similar in the broader DC region, and throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Our partners at Bright MLS have the data and are sharing a new blog post.
