“The D.C. region is again showing itself to be an outlier when compared to the national housing market, especially when considering our constricted housing supply and consistently lower inventory,” said Avi Adler, 2023 GCAAR president. “But locally, the uptick in new listings seems to reflect sellers’ confidence in the market, which ideally will relieve market pressure and provide more options for buyers.”
