Just Listed highlights Arlington properties that just came on the market within the past week. This feature is written and sponsored by Andors Real Estate Group.
Buenos dias, Arlington, and welcome to JUST LISTED!
Fall is pretty much here, and the real estate market looks like it sped up just a bit over the past seven days. We saw an uptick in new listings and ratified contracts this past week, as well as a decrease in overall inventory. Our pace right now is a lot slower than it was a year ago — about 25% less ratified contracts compared with the same week last year.
Mortgage rates held steady over the past week, and buyers are ready to get right back at it this fall. Buying power has stayed very steady this year because of the low interest rate environment and predictability. I don’t anticipate prices to increase rapidly this fall the way we saw them jump during the spring, but the demand will be strong enough to keep the momentum moving forward.
Another sign the market, at least listings, is about to pick up: There are currently 55 listings in ‘Coming Soon’ status in the multiple listing service (MLS). This status means that they are not yet ready for showings or open houses but alerts prospective purchasers that the home will be ready soon. Usually, homes can be in this status for no more than 21 days unless there is an extensive renovation in progress, or it is new construction.
PICK OF THE WEEK: The Andors Real Estate Group is proud to have JUST LISTED 2706 S. Grant Street, Arlington, VA 22202 — $1,149,000.
This expanded and updated five-bedroom, four-bathroom raised rambler sits within walking and biking distance of the Pentagon. The main level features four generous bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including two en-suite, a formal living room, a formal dining room, and a fantastic foyer. An amazing family room has six skylights and a vaulted ceiling overlooking the private, landscaped backyard. The stunning custom patio has a seating ledge, grilling station and stretches the width of the house. The large 8,313-square-foot lot features tree houses, raised garden beds and is very private. The chef’s kitchen has a large skylight and features all stainless-steel appliances, including double Viking ovens and plenty of counter and cabinet space. The lower level has a fifth bedroom with its own separate entrance (great for an au pair), a fourth full bathroom, a spacious laundry, utility and storage space, and an attached one-car garage.
You can find me and my team here this weekend hosting in-person open houses — Saturday and Sunday 1-4 p.m.
