Everyone wants to stay one step ahead of the trends, whether it’s in fashion, technology, or the real estate market. Home buyers and sellers have been scrutinizing Washington, DC’s housing market predictions since January, trying to figure out the best time in 2017 to make an offer or put their homes on the market.
Predictions for the DC Housing Market
Since the real estate market changes constantly, especially from neighborhood to neighborhood, it’s impossible to know exactly what will happen this year. But past home sales and market trends are incredibly useful when making predictions. Here is what we can expect from the 2017 real estate market:
- Not enough homes to keep up with demand
- Higher home prices due to low inventory
