Frederick County is seeing more homes available, with active listings up sharply from a year ago and now well above 650 properties. New listings have also risen year over year, even though they slipped modestly from August to September. At the same time, contract activity has cooled, as both closed sales and pending sales are down compared with last year.
Pricing is adjusting to this shift in supply and demand. The typical home value in September was a bit lower than both last month and last year, even as the median list price has inched higher year over year. Sellers are still getting close to their asking prices, with the average sale-to-list ratio hovering just under 100 percent and only a modest share of homes selling above list. Buyers, however, have more leverage than they did a year ago, as months of supply has climbed to about four months, well above the statewide level in Virginia.
Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market rising to nearly two months and up noticeably from a year ago. This combination of rising inventory, slower sales pace, and softer prices places Frederick County in a neutral market, offering opportunities on both sides of the table. Whether you want to stand out as a seller or spot value as a buyer, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these trends and can guide your next move.
