Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Fairfax County real estate market. *
July 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Year-over-year, Fairfax County’s typical home value has dipped slightly even as prices across Virginia have risen, signaling a bit of local cooling at higher price points. At the same time, the share of homes sold above list has edged up compared with last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio is essentially at 100 percent, showing that well-priced homes still command very strong offers.
In the latest July 2026 snapshot, active listings are up more than 11 percent from a year ago while new listings have jumped over 17 percent, giving buyers more options than they had last summer. Even with this increased supply, months of inventory sits at just 2.3, noticeably tighter than the state’s 3 months and consistent with a seller’s market where desirable homes do not linger for long.
Recent monthly shifts point to a late-summer slowdown in activity rather than a major reset in conditions. Homes sold and pending sales have dropped sharply from June, and median days on market has risen to 34, but nearly half of properties still go off-market within two weeks, underscoring a clear split between quickly moving homes and those that need more time. In this kind of nuanced environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in connecting with a Fairfax County agent who understands these trends and how to navigate them effectively.

“Kris was excellent to work with. Kris helped us navigate through the home buying process while we were not able to be present, due to being stationed overseas. She was very easy to contact and answered all our questions quickly. She helped us though a the home buying process with ease and confidence. I would recommend Kris to friends and would love to work with her again in the future.”
“Gurdeep is a top notch realtor. We have worked with her over the last 16 years on the purchase of 3 homes and the sale of 2 homes. Gurdeep has handled each transaction with extraordinary knowledge, professionalism, and care. She has a keen eye for detail and makes sure all aspects of the sale are done correctly. She is incredibly articulate and uses her skills to finesse through challenging moments with excellent negotiation skills. Her media presentation for our property included a beautiful flyer presentation and drone footage of our 5 acre property that were completely above and beyond. This attracted serious buyers immediately. We have always had a fantastic experience with Gurdeep and we can’t recommend her enough! If you want the BEST, then choose Gurdeep!”

“Judy did an excellent job throughout the process of selling our home - from the initial strategy thrugh closing. Her advice was absolutely critical in successfully selling the home. She went to extraordinary lengths to work through a couple of snags along the way, especially dealing with the HOA and various vendors. Absolutely recommend Judy for any real estate needs.”
“We were looking for a house in a certain area and told Pam of our needs. A house came on the market and she emailed me the listing right after it went live. We were the first people to call and tour the house and put in an offer, and I believe that the fast work that Pam put in was a decisive factor in how we got the home. There were days when I might call Pam half a dozen times and she always answered the phone and I could tell she had a smile on her face. This is the second time I've worked with her and I will definitely do it again in the future.”
“It was a pleasure working with Debra. Her approach to getting my house sold quickly and for the best price was just what I needed.

“Nick was great to work with! He was very personable and easy going. He made time for every home we wanted to see at the exact times we wanted to see it. He stuck with us even after a 6 month lull in looking at homes. I would consider Nick not only a professional, but he has become a friend.”

She was amazing so there was no hestitation reaching out for assistance with this purchase. She and her associates are top notch all the way, bringing the unique combination of professionalism, technical acumen, positive attitude, and amazing work ethic. She's never let me down and absolutely worked miracles on several transactions for me and my family. It's an honor to support her with this review!”
“Wow.. where do I begin. I'm not one to leave reviews but I know someone somewhere might need as this type of service could make or break someone if they don't find the right realtor. Kim is simply awesome. If you need a real negotiator, you got Kim. Kim's attention to detail, communication, and dedication is impeccable. I trusted Kim throughout the entire process and at the end I now consider Kim as family. We hit a snag in process with the appraisal and Kim was immediately on it, reaching out to anyone possible late into the night. Within a few days, we were good to go, Kim has a trusted team and they're all genuinely helpful and go above and beyond. There's no doubt in my mind who is leading me through the next purchase. Kim sells and will get it done right!”
