The number of properties under contract are at HUGE high levels. In DC; there are more homes under contract at one time than there has been for years. The same holds true for Prince Georges County, Arlington County and Montgomery County. These numbers; based upon observances in the field; lead me to believe - the unpredictable "bottom of the market" is somewhere close. Maybe behind us; maybe ahead - but not far.

It is important to see the number of homes taken "Off" the market. While many of these homes will return to the marketplace a week or two; seeing a listing "expire" means that the seller and agent thought or expected the home to be sold by now.
