The market continues to move at an extremely fast pace, leaving many buyers feeling like they will never snag the golden ring of a ratified sales contract. Buyers are waiving all kinds of protections to be the winning offeror.

Buyers: Your best bet is to be ready. Get all your paperwork into your lender so the only thing needed is a ratified sales contract. Work with your agent to hone in on location first and then focus on properties. In the end, location is the thing you can’t change.

Move quickly. When you find one that fits, write the offer! This market is really hard for people who have a slower decision-making process. If you are in this category, do lots of homework. Look at lots of property online, go to open houses and understand the finances. This way when you find one you like you feel more prepared to make the offer.

Here is a list of a few of the new listings in Reston this week:

• 1403 Newport Spring Court — 3 BD/3.5 BA — $550,000 — Open Sunday

Limited housing inventory continues to be the watchword, though the large number of properties added in the past week with a status of Coming Soon may indicate that things will be losing up soon.

There were 13 new listings this past week in Reston for a total of 68 active listings. The market is very active with 37 properties going under contract and 18 being added to the market in a “Coming Soon” status.

Here are few of the new listings this week in Reston.

• 11705-C Summerchase Circle — 1 BD/1 BA — $235,000
• 1258 New Bedford Lane — 5 BD/5 BA — $1,599,000

There were just nine new listings this past week in Reston. Possibly sellers have been distracted with the news, maybe they are waiting for the so-called spring market. Whatever it was, we are left with a tiny pool of properties for buyers to consider. The total number of homes for sale is 82, which breaks down to 71 active listings and 11 in a “coming soon” status.

One interesting dimension of this pool of listings is that 78% of them are condominiums. The condo market in Reston is slightly softer than the market for townhouses and single-family houses. The average days on market for condos is at 65-plus days, while townhouses and single-family homes have averaged 21 days on the market.

As mentioned last week, the limited inventory is constraining a market that would like to boom. If you have a townhouse or single-family house and are ready to downsize, now is the perfect time. You will have the advantage on both sides of the equation — a fast sale and more inventory to choose from on the buy side.

Here is a look at a few of the new listings in Reston:

• 11529 Pine Cone Court — 3 BD/2.5 BA — $499,272
• 1671 Parkcrest Circle #101 — 1 BD/1 BA — $250,000
• 12013 Taliesin Place #35 — 2 BD/2 BA — $365,000
• 11240 Chestnut Grove Square # 260 — 1 BD/1 BA — $210,000

With record low interest rates and people clamoring for a little more space, the Reston housing market wants to be soaring… wants to be… but is not. Why?

Well, there is very, very little to sell. There are currently just 73 active listings and only two of those are single-family homes. There are 10 properties listed as coming soon.

If you are thinking about selling, now is the time. This is especially true if you are looking to downsize. People who are ready to shed their large homes for something smaller can cash in on equity and then turn around to buy something smaller. Interest rates are so favorable that mortgages are as low or lower than the cost of a nice rental in Reston.

Here’s a look at a few of the new listings in Reston:

• 1605 Apricot Court — 3 BD/3.5 BA — $650,000
• 1618 Chimney House Road — 2 BD/1 BA — $379,900
• 11586 Woodhollow Court — 3 BD/3.5 BA — $514,900
• 11582 Breton Court — 3 BD/2.5 BA — $419,900

There have been a lot of new properties added to the Reston real estate market in the past 10 days as people gear up for the fall market.

Reston has 177 fully active properties on the market and 8 in a coming soon status. At the rate properties are going under contract that leaves us with 1.4 months of housing inventory. Interest rates are still at historic lows and the unemployment rate in Reston is sitting at 2.5%. All of these factors add up to a solid market.

Here are a few of the new listings in Reston.

• 1634 Oak Spring Way, 3 BR/3.5 BA — $500,000
• 11776 Stratford House Place #704, 2 BR/2 BA — $575,000
• 2503 Charlestown Lane, 4 BR/3 BA — $639,900
• 11268 Fairwind Way, 3 BR/3 BA — $579,900
• 11564 Rolling Green Court #100, 2 BR/2 BA — $300,000
• 11966 Heathcote Court, 3 BR/2.5 BA — $415,000

There are just 184 properties on the market in Reston today.

The market is generally very active with 142 properties in a pending status that are making their way through the settlement process. Days on market for pending property is short, averaging just 12 days. For property in an active status the picture is much different. 25% of the housing inventory has more than 100 days on the market.

If you have a property that’s been hanging around it’s time to ask your agent for a new set of comparables, chances are you’ve come on to the market too high to drive buyer interest.

Here are a few of the new houses to hit the market this week.

• 1630 Oak Spring Way, 3 BR/3.5 BA — $499,999
• 1690 Moorings Drive, 5 BR/3.5 BA — $660,000
• 2520 Freetown Drive, 4 BR/2.5 BA — $575,000
• 1953 Weybridge Lane, 4 BR/ 3 BA — $699,900
• 2237 Lovedale Lane Unit D, 2 BR/2 BA — $289,900
• 2408 Ansdel Court, 4 BR/2 BA — $475,000

The real estate market in Reston is holding steady with low inventory and strong demand.

Our numbers at this mid-year mark are looking good. We’ve sold slightly fewer homes than this same time last year with 677 this year vs. 721 in 2018; but things are generally very strong.

There are 201 active listings on the market and another 8 in a “Coming Soon” status. The average-days-on-market for active listings is 56 days, which is way above the average for property in a “Pending” status which is just 24.

The driver for a quick sale is always the price. Price is every seller’s best tool for generating action from buyers. Be the best priced, best presented item in your category and you will shorten your days on market, reduce your carrying costs and maximize your bottom line.

Here are a few of the new homes for sale in Reston this week:

• 11938 Barrel Cooper Court, 3 BR/2.5 BA — $394,900
• 1651 Cedar Hollow Way, 4 BR/3.5 BA — $635,000
• 2429 Alsop Court, 4 BR/2.5 BA — $469,900
• 11769 Indian Ridge Road, 4 BR/3.5 BA — $549,900

We’ve got 206 fully active properties on the market in Reston.

They range in price from $199,000 for a cute 1 bedroom, 1 bath Northgate Square condo in a great walk-able Lake Anne neighborhood, to $1,750,000 for a stunning 14th floor Stratford House Place unit with amazing views looking up Reston Town Center’s main drag to the Blue Ridge mountains beyond.

Properties are generally selling quickly. Average days on market for properties in a pending status, (those that are under contract), is just 17 days; more than half of those pending properties went under contract in a mere 7 days.

If you’ve got something on the market that’s not selling, or worse, not getting showings, it’s time to have a heart to heart with your agent. Ask them to reevaluate list price and then listen and act on that professional opinion.

Here are a few of the new listings in Reston. I thought I might try something different with the “just list listed” so today we’re focusing on new listings priced at less than $350,000.

• 1422 Church Hill Place, 2 BR/2 BA — $325,000
• 11400 Washington Plaza W #1101, 1 BR/2 BA — $289,000
• 11112 Beaver Trail Court, 1 BR/1 BA — $269,999
• 1650 Chimney House Road, 1 BR/1 BA — $249,000

There are 45 new listings that came on the market this week, bringing the total homes for sale in Reston to 254.

The market has been busier as buyers are back from the Fourth of July weekend and getting back in the hunt. Those hoping to be settled before school starts in September need to get focused.

Reston’s 254 properties for sale represent a little fewer than a two-month supply of homes. While we’re adding slightly more homes per week than we’re selling, it will take a while to build enough inventory to shift the market from a Seller’s Market to a Buyer’s Market.

Here are a few of the new listings for this week.

• 11438 Links Drive, 4BR, 3.5 Bath. $575,000
• 1706 Quietree Drive. 2BR, 2.5 Bath. $375,000
• 2040 Beacon Heights Drive. 3BR, 3.5 Bath. $999,999
• 12350 Lima Lane. 3BR, 3 Bath $647,000
• 1675 Parkcrest Circle #101. 1BR 1 Bath $224,999
• 12116 Walnut Branch Road. 5BR, 4.5 Baths. $1,065,000

In the last week, 48 New listings were added to the market. This brings the total number of homes for sale to 248.
