10/ Bottom line: DC’s market is NOT crashing. The numbers show stability, increased sales, and faster closings.
Buyers & sellers just need to adapt. If you're thinking about moving, let’s talk strategy based on real data. DM me! 📩 #DCHousing

9/ Federal workforce cuts could have an impact, but there’s no clear data on that yet. Meanwhile, return-to-office policies could actually boost demand in the DMV housing market. #DMVRealEstate

8/ The slight price dip is due to high interest rates—not a market crash. Sellers are adjusting, and buyers who waited in 2024 are now making moves. This is a shifting market, not a collapsing one.

7/ If DC were crashing, we’d expect:
❌ A massive drop in sales
❌ A huge spike in inventory
❌ Prices plummeting
None of that is happening. The data shows steady demand & faster sales.
