Another strong month for Falls Church real estate! Continuing recent trends, prices are up, days on the market are down, and the percentage of the market that’s “distressed” (ie. a short sale or bank owned property) is down. All great news for property owners!

A total of 122 properties changed hands in April, of which 15 were bank owned and 17 were short sales, for a total of 26%. Last year, April saw 132 sales with 30.3% attributed to foreclosures/short sales.

Falls Church City saw a jump in median sale price by 9.4% and a decrease in days on the market by 73.2% (a jump from 71 to 19 days until a property went under contract). That’s HUGE.
