DC Area Condo Pipeline at Lowest Level Since 2004
Housing Complex is reporting that a Delta Associates’ report shows that there are 9,524 unsold condos in the Washington metro area, the lowest number since 2004.
It wasn’t as though Delta didn’t predict this, though, it just may have happened a little bit sooner than they thought it would.
In an October 2008 report, the research firm concluded that condo prices would bottom out in the DC metro area toward the end of 2009. This bottom would come as a result of a market equilibrium between supply and demand resulting from the condo pipeline being “driven to its lowest point since 2004” by continued sales and a number of new condo projects converting to rentals.
William Rich, one of the report’s authors, explained to UrbanTurf that after the remaining new condo projects were completed in late 2008 and early 2009, no new projects would come online for the rest of the year meaning buyers would be buying units from a pool of inventory that is no longer increasing.
