Loudoun County Leads with Impressive Gains
Loudoun County emerged as a standout performer in Q2 2025, demonstrating the strength of Virginia's luxury market. With a median sales price of $925,000—representing an 8.2% increase from Q1 2025—the county showed remarkable momentum. Perhaps most telling was the 20% year-over-year increase in closed sales, with 1,066 homes sold, while inventory expanded by an impressive 81% compared to Q2 2024.
The market's efficiency became evident in the dramatic 27% decrease in average days on market, dropping to just 19 days. This signals renewed buyer urgency and confidence in a market that, while competitive, offers significantly more options than last year.
Eastern Counties Show Balanced Spring Activity
The Eastern Counties—encompassing Fairfax, Arlington, Prince William, and Stafford—experienced what can best be described as a bustling spring market. Sales volume nearly doubled compared to Q1, reflecting the pent-up demand that carried over from earlier in the year.
With a median sales price of $755,000 and inventory up 63% year-over-year, buyers gained meaningful leverage without sacrificing market momentum. The 35.7% decrease in days on market from Q1 indicates that while buyers have more choices, they're acting decisively when they find the right property.
Western Counties Maintain Steady Growth
The Western Counties (Fauquier, Clarke, Warren & Rappahanock) continue to offer compelling value with median sales prices holding steady at $475,000. This region's 54% increase in closed sales from Q1, combined with a 30% inventory expansion, presents a balanced spring market that appeals to buyers seeking both quality and value.
At 35 average days on market—down 31.4% from Q1—homes are moving at a pace that rewards well-prepared sellers while giving buyers adequate time to make informed decisions.
West Virginia Eastern Panhandle Gains Traction
The Eastern Panhandle market (Berkeley, Jefferson, Hampshire, Morgan counties) showed notable momentum with quarter-over-quarter growth in both sales and pricing. Median prices rose 5.7% from Q1 to $370,000, even as inventory surged 44% year-over-year. For value-driven buyers, this region offers attractive opportunities across multiple price points while maintaining accessibility to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
What This Means for Market Participants
For Buyers: The Q2 2025 market brought increased inventory and more balanced conditions across all regions. While days on market are falling quarter-over-quarter, signaling renewed competition, buyers now enjoy a wider selection of properties. With stable pricing in most markets and significant new inventory, particularly in Loudoun County and the Panhandle, conditions favor decisive action.
For Sellers: Sellers benefit from seasonal demand, especially in markets with tightening days on market. However, success depends on preparation and strategic pricing. With inventory levels rising, buyers have more options, making it essential for listings to stand out through superior presentation and competitive positioning.
Looking Ahead to Q3
As we progress into summer, the data suggests continued momentum supported by sustained demand, elevated inventory levels, and moderated pricing across most markets. The quarter-over-quarter comparisons paint a picture of a revitalized spring market, with every region experiencing double-digit increases in closed sales and significantly expanded inventory from Q1 2025.
