June will be remembered as the month in 2022 when the DC-area housing market hit the brakes.
Pending home sales fell by at least 10% in every local jurisdiction last month, a clear sign that high interest rates and the highest home prices on record for the region are pushing homebuyers to the sidelines. As sales declined, the supply of homes for sale is up almost everywhere in the DC region. In DC proper, there are 20% more homes for sale compared to the same time last year.
Below, UrbanTurf plucked out some of the more telling statistics from the market last month.
