“While current economic factors like inflation are certainly at the forefront of the conversation, the Loudoun market as a whole is shifting much closer to pre-pandemic levels,” Dulles Area Association of Realtors president Rich Blessing said in a news release. “In addition to steadier price growth and rising inventory levels, Loudoun County homes were on the market for an average of 25 days last month – the longest we’ve seen since February 2020. These are all promising signs for buyers, who have been able to take back a bit of control in their home searches and negotiations."
