👉 Thinking of Selling This Spring? Northern Virginia Market Update – February 2026

Описание: It may be cold outside this February, but the Northern Virginia real estate market is definitely warming up.

In this update, I walk through what I’m seeing right now in our local market and share what homeowners should be doing now if they’re thinking about selling this spring.

Here’s what I cover in this video:

• Mortgage rates – After a brief dip below 6%, rates are hovering in the low 6s. While volatility is expected, we anticipate they’ll likely stay in this range for much of the year.
• A continued split market – Some homes are selling quickly with strong competition, while others are sitting longer and requiring price reductions. One key indicator? Current pending sales are showing days on market at about half of what we saw in January closings—clear evidence the market has picked up quickly.
• Contract terms are evolving – Inspection, financing, and appraisal contingencies are back in most contracts, and we’re also seeing pre-contract inspections return, another sign of increased activity.

If you’re considering selling this spring and want shorter days on market and a strong sale, I also share four key steps you should be taking right now:

1. Get professional guidance on staging and home preparation, so you focus on the highest-ROI improvements.

2. Start packing, donating, and decluttering to better showcase your home.

3. Create a “brag list” of updates and improvements to support buyer confidence and pricing strategy.

4. Reach out to me—I’ll help you with preparation, positioning, and timing so the market works in your favor.

As always, I hope this information is helpful.
